I hear ya, sometimes it's a bit cold in the mornings in Jan.  I usually have to wear a sweatshirt, or at least long sleeves.

I guess I'll shoot for the thanksgiving day as well! I usually get them down shortly after New Years. My wife being very religious, she'd rather leave them until the 6 of January but I'm the one freezing my bullocks taking them down....Dead

We try to go live on Thanksgiving.  Some years there have been issues which delayed the start until Dec 1. 

Aside from some rewiring we're pretty much going to run last year's show again this year.  I had some new stuff planned but both the time and budget ran out this year.  I may switch out a sequence or two, but they yard layout and light count will be the same.

I hear Christmas music all year round here!  I think the season started when I got my first controller and hasn't yet ended LOL.  Lowes and Home Depot started the season about 3 weeks ago here, both on the same day. I already bought 2 Walmarts out of the few 5mm concave green LEDs they had so I could rebuld the minitrees in LED Wacko
