You should tell them about Rent-A-Center, Aaron's Rentals, Rentway, etc. Maybe they weren't aware of such places...

VTmommy - check out www.magazinepricesearch.com for many other great magazine prices.

Alimfp -- it's too close to Christmas for the first issue to arrive (usually 10-12 weeks). I suggest you pick up *gulp* pick up a copy at the newsstand and gift wrap it (problem there is that the newsstand price is probably more than than the subscription)... Or just include a personal note in with your card to her. At these prices, these online companies don't send out gift announcements.

I put 999 of them in my cart, just to see how many they had left. This is the message I got:

Here is a theme for ya!: http://www.uglychristmaslights.com/2004_collection/the_usual_suspects.html

* laughing * Yup, that's it!

I know what you mean... There are a few houses like this in our neighborhood (not to this degree, of course). It's kind of strange. I think they're really tacky, I look forward to seeing them all the same...

We neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed Pics!!!

I am guessing that snow doesn't accumulate in these lawns from the heat thrown from the Christmas lights!

You know you are done if you can't see the grass anymore: http://pics.uglychristmaslights.com/2003/plastic2.jpg

This isn't really a horror story, kinda funny actually... My in-laws had two of those light-up reindeer in their lawn. They look kinda like this: http://www.echristmas.com.au/images/group/Rein03.gif Well, we were visiting them a couple of years ago and we all went out for the day, and while we were gone, some prankster put the reindeer in a comprimising position. Now, my in-laws are very conservative... Imagine my surprise when the next time we went up to visit them and they had puchased and set up a little baby reindeer!
