I see houses with great lights outside of home. They have "Christmas landscape." It looks expensive to me But it gives good feeling. I think I also want to do that one day.
Do you decorate your lawn/landscape for Christmas?
No, as I've said elsewhere, we just don't do much anymore, but some of the neighbors a bit further away do some very nice things on their lawns. I love to see it.
A few years back when there were more kids in the neighborhood I used to do more than I do now. I used to make whimsical for the kids. Now I keep it a lot more understated.
In places where there is snow, decorating the landscape may not be applicable. But in areas where there is no snow, then maybe this is where it makes sense. On second thought, why decorate outside when people are inside, right? But still, when many neighbors decorate outside, the feeling is good when you walk around.
There's a home a mile or two from us that rigs up thousands of lights and has them timed to music on a certain radio station. Not sure how it works, but people line up every evening to watch and listen.
Hehe, that looks too much. I do not mean we should decorate our house like a giant Christmas cake. But maybe that neighbor has lots of money. When people watch and listen, maybe they are entertained.
Yes we do. I like lighting up the house on Christmas. I've set-up a lot of lights on the fence and the bushes. I've got a lot decorations in the garden too and most of them are also lit up. These lights are going to drive my power costs way up high.
I put up some lights and greenery but there is a house nearby that goes all out, they have videos posted on YouTube too because it blinks to the music and it works off your radio station in your vehicle.
I like looking at the houses with the (slightly over the top) decorations but I wouldn't do it myself. Too much work and I would get tired of people staring! :laughing:
I do like to put a few seasonal items around though. Perhaps a xmas hat on my lawn ornaments if I have children visiting.
Thank you for sharing. Those who decorate homes, do you take time to look at your decorations in the evening? Just curious. If not, then at least your neighbors will always remember you.
There are some places in town where the entire block or court of houses decorate. Cars will come from all over the area to take in the decorations. It's incredible.

Previous years pics, I don't have the tractor to put out anymore. Besides somebody stole 4-5 gal. of gas out of it last year & left their beer cans & liquor bottles in the yard (overnight). We do have the lights, cutouts & inflatables out this year. Also a 15' pine tree in the center of the front yard decorated! ~~ grnspot110
Hi Greenspot! Thanks for the very nice pictures. I like all of them. The third one is my favorite ... John Deere tractor pulling a sleigh. It's a winner :thumbsup:
But it gives good feeling. I think I also want to do that one day.
