brynnfromtheblock Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 We go on a trek every weekend to find the overdone houses... the kids love it
laffnatu Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 those are great, check this out http://www.jenningsosbornefamily.com/mainframe.htmlthis is only a very small fraction of the lights they do.This is totally off the subject... but who are these people? Jimmy Carter went to their wedding. (I got sidetracked and started looking at other pics.) EDIT:: NM.. I quit looking at pics and started reading the site.
sperdue Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 You know you are done if you can't see the grass anymore: http://pics.uglychristmaslights.com/2003/plastic2.jpgThat's my house You don't like it?
Marcster Posted December 11, 2005 Author Posted December 11, 2005 That's my house You don't like it? I love it, Shannon!
sperdue Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 I love it, Shannon! Lmao! That was soooo sincere!
Marcster Posted December 11, 2005 Author Posted December 11, 2005 Thanks for posting Marcster!!!!Glad everyone liked it!
happysunshine28 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I enjoy seeing houses where people use their imagination. The more lights the better IMO. I get tired of seeing every house have clear icicle lights, yes its pretty but so ordinary.
Gporter34 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Hubby and I took the kids and MIL on the annual tour of Christmas lights last night! I actually thought of this thread!LMAO Some of the houses were so lit up! But what made me think of it was when we were getting in the van, hubby told one of the kids to turn off the porch light and the light in the carport, LOL, they weren't on, the Christmas lights were so bright they looked like they were! I am still trying to get a good enough pic to post but, it's hard to do because I have to go across the street to get a shot of the whole yard and every time I get a good shot, several cars go speeding by and ruin it!LOL Anyway, the best thing we saw last night was a "living nativity" at one of the local churches. It was beautiful. The kids said they got goose bumps because it looked so real.
brownlands Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I just saw on the local news that there is a local house that after 5 weeks of decorating, he has lights and decorations everywhere. The lights are set to several Christmas carols and blink with the music. The music is played over loud speakers or you can actually tune it in on your radio while you watch the lights.
sperdue Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 ....or you can actually tune it in on your radio while you watch the lights.Now, that would be really cool to have it tuned on your radio and watch the light show.

LOLOf course my kids could always have a "Hot-Chocolate stand" .
ebony0421 Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 I really do like Christmas lights and decorations, but DAMN! :flame:
tinydancer34 Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 This house made it into my newpaper today. I think we'll swing by there before the township decides to shut him down. http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/trib/pittsburgh/s_403414.html
grapico Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 oh wow there is one down the street I will have to submit to this site, we were actually driving by and wondering if we could post it to the internet, I counted 105 statues in their yard.
couponmamaoftwins Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 I have always wanted to decorate my house and yard for Christmas! Maybe not to the degree some of these are but now that I have my own house I'm going to. We couldn't this year but look out next year!! hehe
couponmamaoftwins Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 Where are the best places to grab some Christmas clearance stuff besides white lites?
Marcster Posted December 13, 2005 Author Posted December 13, 2005 Where are the best places to grab some Christmas clearance stuff besides white lites?Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. * after Christmas! *
schmitt Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 This house made it into my newpaper today. I think we'll swing by there before the township decides to shut him down. http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/trib/pittsburgh/s_403414.html That sure is a lot of lights but I like it. My kids would LOVE:hearthrob to see that in real life. We always go drive around purposely looking for the ones that are over the top.
Sportygirl20 Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 This is too funny. This house is actually close to where my parents live and every year we go past it. You should see all the traffic that forms. And if I remember correctly they actually made this street a one way street now because it would get so bad. All the little kids love it. http://pics.uglychristmaslights.com/2005/trees.jpg
CG480 Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 I love chrsitmas lights but some of these got a bit carryed away.. I can just see that electric meter turning now!
