I've been ramping ours up over the last 3 years or so. I have a couple of hand built lighting controllers I've made to control my light shows. One of them is for standard plugin LED light strands and the other is for my newer light that are PIXEL lights. The pixel lights I can control each individual light in the strand which gives me a lot more control over the types of effects I can pull off with the lights. This is my newest build so it's not as powerful as my other strand controller I built. Sadly this year we aren't in our own house but I still may take time and build the new controller out to the point where I have the old style one and then maybe next year (old controller is in storage) I will give that one to my friend so he can have a cool show. My old style controller is easier to setup a show, you just add the music into a specific folder on the controller, setup your hours you want it to run from a web interface (it has wireless built in) and then when the time of day starts it will start the show and rotate through the songs using a built in lighting sequencer. The newer one I've only used for a small Halloween show last year, I have to actually go into sequencing software and build out the shows, I do it to music (both have FM transmitters in them), this takes a lot more time but I have far more control over what the lights do and when. I hope to one day rival the Griswalds.

I'm all for a 70' TV. Nowhere I can put it but what the heck I can charge admission to watch movies and sell concessions for people to eat.

That's actually cool. My daughter saw those giant nut crackers in the store last weekend and wants them.

We tend to buy sheets every year.

If you spend enough there it is definitely worth it.

Man your boss sounds like a jerk.

Y'all can send all the cookies to me. I'm not hesitant.

I hadn’t seen that. I’ll have to keep a lookout.

I was wondering especially with this year how will your job work when it comes to BF? Do you take the day off? Do you say well may as well work this year since BF is likely to be online for the majority of it anyway? I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do. Where I work is closed but I still may get some work done since the majority of what we want is likely to be available the days/weeks leading up to then online.

Photo 1: This picture is doctored FAKE NEWS. We know they don't have that many employees working at Walmart helping people. Photo 2: Ahh the good ole days, back when we were actually allowed to camp out for BF. 2020 WHY MUST YOU FORSAKE US!!! Photo 3: Wow are these people going to be mad when they realize TRU went out of business.

We have their more expensive membership that has the rewards each year. It pays for itself each year in the cash we get back so it will just stay how it is. I guess they figure that's how they get people.

A lot of them have already been sold during the pre-orders.

Ive used those also. It’s not bad tech at all. For wireless I’ve become a huge fan of ubiquit and their products. You enterprise grade at reasonable costs.

I had an issue where I added to my cart, went to find something else and added it. Wife said she ordered the second thing so I deleted it. Went to check out and it removed the Lightning deal price. I ended up having to delete the item and then add it back to get the right price.

I don’t do social media.

Guess I may as well order the shows for presents. Need to get 3 of them.

I wish they didn’t exclude current members.

Depending on if you can get a network cable to different places in your house you could use the Ubiquiti Access Points. I have 3 setup here and 0 issues with coverage across the entire house (both floors) garage, patio and so on. It’s more professional type gear but still very easy to configure. They sell products that cover home use also and I believe they released their WiFi 6 routers and gear recently also.

Hmmm it looks like I’ve added 999 packs of Charming Ultra to my cart (oddly I don’t remember adding even one). -

This was my all time favorite gift. Got it back when I was a kid in the early 80’s. http://www.theoldrobots.com/images53/MaxxSteele-1.JPG
