My Christmas Cop-out

So, as I sit here waiting for my RODI for a water change, drinking quality bourbon (Knob Creek Small Batch) out of a small plastic cup (which I had in hand as I was doing fish stuff), I decided to share my holiday decor.

I hate holiday decor. I love the season. I hate the work.

So! Being an ex-artist I decided to blatantly plagiarize something I had seen on the net which conveys:
1) Decorating for the holidays showing pretense of effort
2) A true knowledge of Christmas specials
3) Decor which makes folks laugh and recollect said specials from #2
4) Minimal annual effort (10 minutes per year) after the initial effort of a few hours

Here's my house...

Nice, lol. I don't know why but it's something I enjoy, it's one thing I get to create myself. Actually got some of these spinning white disco ball things and pointed them up in the trees, makes a neat effect.

How is the coverage Jim. Was thinking about them, just not sure if they would give me good coverage for the whole house

Its pretty wide, the farther back you get the more spread. Lynn placed three of them fairly close to the house, and has it all covered. I think if she went back another 10 feet she could get the neighbors too. :)

My neighbor has only one and it lights up the whole front of the house and up the large oak trees she has. It is maybe 20 feet from the house.

I also saw on the news the concern of these lights shooting up into the sky and hitting pilots eyes. So buy them now before they pull them off the market.

Lynn found these a BB&B, and with a coupon got them for around $30.00.

Jim, we've been looking for something like this for a while now. Were the one's you bought at BB&B the same as the link, or just something similar? I can't find those on their website.
