^^ I wish!

The neighbour with the tree lights is on a double lot, but mine is just a single 50'x130' urban lot, so no. But it's only a 10-minute walk to downtown, so there's that.  :)

I'll get another pic at night once the lights are on. They usually have all three trees lit up, so it's a lot of lights. I was never a fan of the weird blue ones, though.  :P

They’ve had those weird blue LEDs for years. Hopefully the new ones are a little nicer.

YES! New and improved blue lights have been installed.  :rofl2:

LOL. I love that they've wrapped those huge trees with lights, but that blue is just ridiculous, what's Christmas about that? Awful....

I refuse to put up anything but white, and I won't even use that bright white LED stuff, yuk. Soft/warm white or nothing.

It is also poor taste. It is not past the 11th yet.

I think it's fine to put them up, just don't turn them on until at least the 12th of November.

I'm 100% with you there.

As for Christmas lights before November 11, that seems to be made up outrage about something no one actually cares about.

Yeah I know quite a few Vets and they could care less if you put up Christmas stuff before the 11th.

He didn't offer and I didn't ask. Top Gun cruised by in the Maro RS whilst we were chatting in the driveway.
