Brandon 3 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 When are you planning to start hanging Christmas lights? Just kinda wondering when everyone will start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BaldEagleChristmas 24 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I wish I were hanging them now, everyone else seems to be. But it rained all week end....only 7 weekends left 'til Thanksgiving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alvise3 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I usually dont start until the first or second week of November but everyone is telling me to start in October, so probably ...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryanchristmas 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 November 1st for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zv0227 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 This year I've decided to put my lights up on my house right after I put away my halloween decorations. The display I'll put up the week of Thanksgiving. Cindy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imasweetskunk 10 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 nov. 1st here as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brandon 3 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I think it all depends on where you live also. Here we have to worry about cold temperatures and snow, so I'll probably start hanging lights in un-obvious places soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H2Opolo15 10 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'm going to start this weekend (October 9-13) for a couple reasons: 1. I live in northern Ohio and when the calender turns to November, things start to get real nippy and I have put my lights up too many times without feeling in my fingers and toes and face. 2. I'm in college and I can't go home every weekend, altho I only live 30 minutes from home. But my longer weekends are this coming weekend, and then not again until thanksgiving and I'm hoping to have my display up and running by the first weekend in December or last weekend in November. 3. I'm starting computerizing this year and I hope to have my Light-O-Rama program and controller in to choreograph my full display by Thanksgiving time. So those are the reasons why I'm starting so early. And I honestly can't wait for the season! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paultoole 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'll start around Nov 10th here in Somerset, UK We have our switch on night on Dec 1st. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michael b 1 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Probably Nov 1. I like to start on a Saturday, but this year a Sunday at 7:16 am. I start on the roof. It is so much fun to get up there and hang lights that first day! :santasmileyitty: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Randaling 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I agree with Michael. Novemeber 1st and it is always a blast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indytycoon 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Last year, Oct 31 (Halloween lights = Christmas lights) This year, I'm going to start any day now. (I don't do well in cold weather) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedNeckChristmas 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 The first weekend in Nov for us. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snoop 10 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 The 2nd week of November. I have some time built up at work and I have to use it by Dec 31 or loose it, so I'm taking that week off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
teknosoft 10 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 The 2nd week of November. I have some time built up at work and I have to use it by Dec 31 or loose it, so I'm taking that week off. The same here, I have extra time to use, so I will be starting the 2nd week of Nov. I will take a couple of extra days there. I hope to complete the display in two weekends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joeengler 11 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 We are starting this weekend with the roof lights, like to get them up while it is still kinda of warm. The rest of the big items are being setup in the back yard to verify they are working as planned and the new cords made for them. I will be them to the front the first weekend og November Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cmd1971 1 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Well, I'm starting in about 2 weeks. I get all the lights up on the roof (approx 10,000 lights) while the weather is nice. Then right after Halloween I go to town and start blasting out all the other decorations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrankAZ 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I am starting getting things going starting over the next week or so getting the infastructure in place (extension cords, etc) The next big one that will happen over the next couple of weeks is getting the roof superstructure in position and in place. I will put up halloween decorations based on my christmas channels, then once the halloween comes down, christmas will go directly up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
[email protected] 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I have been working non stop or I would have started hanging already. Looks Like I may be able to get a little done this Sunday and then some more next sunday. When to finish programming is the next big question?? I am starting to feel the Octobe Panic set in. Good luck to all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest showtime Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I have already started on the lights. I have to try and get the lights on the roof before its to late! All is going smoothly right now:santasmileyitty: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisCringle 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Roof line lights start as soon as it dries out here, hopefully I can do the 2nd floor later this week. I have to walk on the roof to do the 2nd floor and a wet and icy roof is not fun to walk on. The rest of the lights will go up as the trees start loosing their leaves.
