Poll: Is it too early to put up x-mas lites

[69cougar]

So it is suppose to be nice this weekend. might be a good idea to put up the old lites but is it to early??

[HRD2PLZ]

a couple of my neighbours have already put theirs up. We usually wait until mid-end of November and hope for a nice day. I guess the Holiday Season is really only 2 months away now...

[buh_buh]

why not leave em up year round? Its x-mas 365 days of the year at my house :D

[Thaco]

wait for one holiday to pass before celebrating the next... we still have haloween and rememberance day :P

[seer_claw]

What kind of man are you? A pansy? Real men put up their lights on the coldest day of the year, as late as possible before Christmas.

j/k lol, I still think that its too early to put them up. ;)

you'd be smart to put them up now when its only semi-cold. don't turn them on!

[Mr. Burns]

I am all about the no-lights approach to x-mas.

I guess I should have clariified that. It is the install only they are not going to be on until Dec 1

Put them on before it gets too cold. Keep them off until Dec. 1

Id prefer to wait until mid november but after being on my roof for 3hrs hanging 30 strands of lighting:thumbsdow

Ill be doing it on a warm day, maybe sunday:angel:

My lights go up in October. They are on for Halloween (to keep the kiddies safe) and then they dont come on until December.

put them up whenever you like, much rather be climbing around on the roof when it's dry however. We dont turn our lights on until december, but they generally go up in November.

Or you could just pull a Clark W Griswold and throw em up a few days before, and kill yourself in the process, haha.

"250 strands of lights. 100 individual bulbs per strand for a grand total of 25000 imported Italian twinkle lights."

Clark: "We're going to have the best looking house in town Russ. I've always wanted to do this."
Russ: "It's a lot of lights dad."
Clark: "Yeah well, I'm sure it's a lot of work too. But, I'm out in the cold and I'm commited to decorating the house, I'm going to do it right, and I'm going to do it big. You want something you can be proud of, don't you?"
Russ: "Yeah, I guess so."
Clark: "Sure you do."
Russ: "You think you might be overdoing it dad?"
Clark: "Russ, when was the last time I overdid anything."


Aunt Bethany : "Is your house on fire Clark?"
Clark: "No, Bethany, those are just Christmas lights."
Aunt Bethany: "Don't throw me down Clark."
Clark: "I'll try not to Aunt Bethany"
Aunt Bethany: "Is this the airport Clark?"
Clark: "We're here!"
Uncle Lewis : "Say Gris, me and Bethany figured out the perfect gift for you."
Clark: "Oh, Uncle Lewis, you didn't have to buy me anything."
Uncle Lewis: "Damn it Bethany, he guessed it."
Aunt Bethany: "Oh, that was fun; I love riding in cars. When did you move to Florida?"
