I totally get it. It’s a big commitment to do a lot of decor. I’ve spent 2 full days on mine and just have the roof and Christmas tree done, with a lot more to go lol. I’m off today and tomorrow, so I’m hoping to get everything done except for inflatables and similar decor. Will put that out the weekend before Thanksgiving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostin76 Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 This neighborhood is pretty far south of ours, but they do it UP for Christmas. We only went to see the houses one time when we first moved here, but it was intense and overwhelming. https://www.bkmag.com/2021/12/13/photos-of-the-wildest-2021-dyker-heights-christmas-lights/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This neighborhood is mostly larger houses like you would typically see elsewhere, so they have garages, etc. It’s a really different area of Brooklyn than where I live. 5 minutes ago, JaybobHoosier said: Holy cow that’s a lot.

I think it’s one of those things you only need to see once, but every house is crazier than the rest. I always wonder about the electric bills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I put up a lot more so I will be interested in seeing what happens lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are a big Christmas decorator! Dude. My wife hasn’t fully taken down all of the Halloween decor. And with the Halloween being rainy this year she only did 75%. i like the arches BTW. I tested 2 of those last year and they worked well. I’m going to build a few more this year. I have a tough time with Xmas decor because my yard is sloped. Here’s a walk around this year. https://youtu.be/iSAUbf2EM1A Edited November 15, 2022 by Naturalhoosier 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She kills it every year. Wifey was telling me the other day (talking about yours and ours decor), and she mentioned we all need to meet up again. Biggest difference is that we have kiddos now lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
