      That moment you take a picture then realize you could use one more hook near the middle of the lights, haha. Not dragging the ladder out for that.

      Still have to clean up the nets on the bushes a little bit. The bottoms of the bushes aren't full and taper in, so tough for me to find enough branch for the net to hang onto. My favorite thing might be the LED strands on the railings that shine down like spotlights on the stairs. Looks really cool when there's snow.

            I just wanted to say how much I appreciate how this thread has grown over there years. I love that it gives us a chance to share all of our Christmas traditions and how we are adding to our traditions as every year passes. It's such a magical time of the year. Thanks for sharing gentlemen.
            I am the lesson after the fall.

                We go to one every year and make ours. Last year we did "Snowman Centipede" where when we stood side by side they joined together. I'll have to see if we have a pic of it somewhere.

                  Wanted to go with a vulgar sweater, but kids and Santa will be there so thought it might be a tad inappropriate lol

                    We just did our Christmas dinner shopping spree, getting all (or just about) everything we need for x-mas dinner. At our local grocery store you collect points on every purchase and them redeem them when you reach a certain level. We got a turkey, stuffing mixes, cranberry sauce, potatoes, carrots, chips, pop, crackers, peanuts, napkins, cool whip, ice cream, etc, etc. In the end the bill came to $243.15. I redeemed 240,000 points and paid $3.15!

                            Thanks. Much like Smashman with his lights I noticed a gap at the bottom right corner of the tree after my wife took the pictures. She didn't say anything, so I'm not saying anything to her. Knowing my luck she'll want to re-do the entire tree to fix it.

                            Also getting all of the dogs to sit still like that was nothing short of a Christmas miracle. Getting all four dogs to sit still and look at the camera all at once was quite the task.... but my wife was going to get that picture or die trying. lol
                            Luckily it worked out. She had some Christmas cards made with us and the dogs too. I'll post those as soon as soon as she puts them on Facebook.

                                I didn't notice until you mentioned it. Now I can't unsee it, haha. I'm usually not a big fan of white lights, but your stuff looks great - just have a dog sit in that corner the whole time so your wife doesn't notice.
