Why do I put them up? ???<br><br>I hate putting up lights but yet I still do it. [undecided]<br><br>I outline the whole house in white lights then put all kinds of crap in the yard and hate every minute of it. <br><br>But yet I still do it. ???<br><br>How bout you guys, do you put up lights for Christmas?<br><br>Merry Freekin Christmas. :'( :-[<br><br>Darrell

 

I live in a neighborhood that has several retired people in it. Needless to say, they put up tons of stuff. So yesterday my wife had me out putting up all of our stuff too. I don't like doing it anymore either. Used to be kinda fun, now it's more of a pain. Oh well- Keeps everyone else happy

 

I put up lights because I have a 2 year old.<br><br>Just call me Mr. Grizwald.

 

I do because,,, my Wife tells me to <br>My only explanation for you Darrell,,,,,,, is that you are subconsciously wishing you were married. : ;D

 

My wife loves the Christmas decorations, so of course I love putting them out for her. I usually run 6 strands of lights off my flagpole and stake them out to look like a treee. I didn't do it this year and I had a call from a lady wondering when I was going to do it? She said she drives her kids by every year so they can see it, They really love it.<br> looks like i will be putting lights up on the flagpole again

 

I have a remote Christmas light installation kit. It's called a wife. She loves it and I could care less. Most people don't teach the kids the real meaning anyway. Yeah, I'm the original scrooge for sure.

 

Hey get this I passed a 1 ton dually powerstroke last night on I 65. The whole thing was outlined in lights. The fenders the hood the cab I mean the whole nine yards. Looked neat even though it was a ford.

 

<br><br> <br><br>Thats us too.<br>(Except, Ive never jumped a Ford Torus wagon off a snow bank after teazing an old blue Dodge Power wagon down a two lane hi-way!)<br> <br><br>Yup. Spent an entire afternoon hanging lights around our place. Our nieghborhood is full of folks who go nuts on Christmas ornaments in thier front yards! <br>We just have the lights around our house.<br><br>Rich

 

I Love to set up lights. I am always the first on the block. The Power company Loves me its sort of a Tool man Taylor thing. (NO ER VISITS YET!)<br>It's not Christmas with out Lights.

Darrell needs a woman for Christmas. Put a bow on her head and sit her by the inflateable snowman. <br><br>Now where can we find the perfect woman. <br><br>Well lets see. I need a raft pump, no sharp objects. Just kiddin that Cattle Haulers Christmas list.

 

At least the inflatable ones don't leave and take your house, truck, and 4wheelers. <br><br>I don't need no woman for Christmas, I already spent $1,600 this year. But it makes the truck shift a lot better. <br><br>DB

 

Yeah, I put them up too. My son's house, my daughter's house, our house. You know what I'd like to do about now? I'd like to take a giant candy cane, and beat the wings off a sugar plum fairy! &gt;....... ;D
