Sweet holiday lights display

CC, link doesn't work. I had such high hopes...

Here's the link:

it is pretty cool.

(I think this is the one CC)

Holy candles! That was awesome! I'd smoke to that!

I had that link emailed to me over Thanksgiving...pretty f-ing cool.

I wonder what they're outlets look like? :lol: :shock: :shock: :lol:

I love holiday lights! I quit putting them up years ago when my daughter was born (too much hassle, busy life, blah blah blah).
Now she is demanding that I start putting them up again. She's only 8! Are they BORN with that gene?

(Snopes may say the video is real, but I don't know.

If you watch the grassy area in the foreground you can see that the filmmakers cut the film together, stop-motion fashion.)

that was good. A little too much, but good!

BP:

Yes, they are born with that gene. I was hoping it would have skipped a generation with my wife, but no of course not! Ours always go up the Friday after Thanksgiving - I kept asking my wife to kick the ladder out from under my legs to put me out of my misery, but she needs me to take them down in a little over a month. Maybe she can do it then.

LOL!

Dood, my wife takes all Christmas decorations down, CHRISTMAS NIGHT!!! Doesn't matter how little sleep I get Christmas Eve putting the kids' stuff under the tree, Christmas night I have to stay up and take everything down.

Grrrrrr

My wife put ours up last night. Nothing fancy, just some net lights over the front shurbs (another shrubery....... I couldn't resist) and two strings on the small japanese maple on our front yard. That and the candles in the windows. Now she wants a couple of reindeer and some of those fake trees with the white lites on them. Plus while she was out there she had stepped in the dogs mess but did not notice this or wipe her feet off before she came in and tracked it all over the living room and kitchen. I asked her if she saw what she did and she said yes, but continued to walk in the house with the dirty foot wear. I had to tell her to take them off before she did. She said she was too busy with the lights to bother. :eeek: :roll:

It's funny, just last night my friends were saying the only reason to have kids is to train them to pass out cocktails at partys (no need for an allowance- they get tips.) I said I'd only have a kid if I knew I could have them follow me around clapping coconuts.

I can't wait till my kids can see "Holy Grail" - too young and they'd never get through the British accents. I bust out laughing when someone told my wife to use Eldeberry for something and I yelled out "your father was a hamster and your mother smells of eldeberry!" The kids bust out laughing and kept repeating it - my wife didn't think it was so funny.

Hey, kids are great to have to play with their toys. I can justify grabbing Playstation 2 for Christmas thanks to my son. And my daughter is lucking out with an IPOD nano - Yeah, like I won't be borrowing that all of the time. LOL. So they do serve their purpose.

I don't want them playing with my stuff. I can barely take care of myself. Being responsible for another human :shock:
