We don't go too crazy. Like a simple/classic look.

Moved my display to my mothers this year so I didn't get to go as over the top as I had hoped. Next year I should be back in a house again and will get to go a little bigger. I've got a total of 6 songs that run every half hour.

Nice 460, except there's one out over the living room window.:p

Your ass there is.

( and yes I'm standing out here the very second I'm typing this making sure there isn't.)

Our old house was a 2 story and the first year I put lights up on it, I said the same thing. Put them on the 2nd story the year after and it looked way better. What you want to do is find the light clips during the off season and put them up under the eaves on the 2nd story, that way you can just attach the lights with a long pole. Much easier and safer to!

C-9's are almost impossible to find, that is why I switched all of mine to C-7's. My neighbor and I were talking about buying a pallet of C-7 light kits in case they stop making them to. LED lights are just not bright enough.

House looks great. Definitely not the Mira Loma house I remember. Where did you move to?

Hey Danny, thanks... That house in Mira Loma was a buddy's. We moved to Calimesa/Yucaipa. We like it better, new house, single story, rv parking, and no hoa. Hope all is well!

Hanging Christmas lights on my house is a nightmare. It is all stucco with no eves.. Last couple years I got the clips and managed to get them on the rain gutters, but even a mild breeze and they would fall down.. Anyone have any suggestions?

I use clips on the gutters that I got at Big Lots, $5 for a box. The uppers are also plastic clips from Big Lots that slip under the metal flashing. Maybe different clips?
