Franchise_24 75 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 When is everyone turning their lights on for the first time? I should have everything ready to go by this Saturday, but my wife thinks I need to wait until black Friday to turn them on. Thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Noel 18 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 It's our family tradition to eat our Thanksgiving dinner, and we all head outside for the show to start at 6. It's kinda becoming a tradition for a lot of the neighborhood families. When we walk out, there's already a crowd waiting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vkjohnson 7 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Thanksgiving night. Many people have thanked me because there are a lot of families that have relatives over then, but not for Christmas. The only time they can see it in person is during that time.

john venturi 7 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I usually turn on thanksgiving night because you get alot of families visiting from outside the area so my display gets seen by alot more by lighting on Thanksgiving...But with that said im behind and thanksgiving night might not happen this year...

LangfordDave 5 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 In Canada our Thanksgiving is in October so I usually wait for Dec 1, but I am now 99% done so the lights go on tonight! Just waiting for my wife to get home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

danj 5 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Planning to start my display Thanksgiving night. Got my AC channels all wired up & checked out successfully tonight. I have a few net light strings to fix up; not all lighting up and had to replace the top section of a mini tree; half the lights wouldn't light. Arrgh. Replaced it with a new string after trying my "Lightkeeper Pro" for a few minutes. Painful, but done now! Will setup arches, nativity scene, and cross tomorrow and run the whole display, RGBs included. Very exciting to see my first synched display running correctly!!!

RaZZlo 0 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Our lights went live last night... Mainly because as we loose a weekend this year, I was determined to get the extra week... Also allows for testing and tweaks... It was worth it. I am a traditionalist by nature, i.e. starting on Thanksgiving... However my wife and neighbors kept harrassing me to start the show... SO.. I must comply... :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deanathpc 11 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I always start / test the night of Black Friday. Or Day after Thanksgiving. I'm not so sure I'll be one time this year though. We shall see! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Franchise_24 75 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I pretty much finished last night. All I have to do is put a train in the front yard after I fix a bunch of burned out bulbs, and set my poloron mechanical Santa out. I plan to go live Friday night. Friday is going to be a fun family day, no work, no shopping, but decorating the inside of the house. Looking forward to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulChristmas 13 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Nov 30 this year is the official light up BUT I am running some now to test things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fairclb 3 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 We do ours Thanksgiving night every year so that the family can all be there for the "grand lighting". Then, we eat pie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danj 5 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I was planning to turn on Thanksgiving night, but I missed that by one night. I turned mine on Black Friday night. My goal will be to turn on my light show on Thanksgiving night every year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
