Nah, my neighborhood doesn't have as many families with kids as most. Don't see a lot of decorating. I used to but finally stopped bothering years ago. I think I've noticed 2 houses out of about 30 with decorations so far.You've really never seen them? Every other house in my neighborhood seems to have them.
I like this, I hate them as a replacement for lights but they suppliment and accent lights in a cool wayChainsawU said:I'm a single dude. No tree. No lights. And I think decorating your entire front yard with lights is dumb. Really dumb. If you decorate your entire front yard with light-up snowmen it also tells me that your spouse is probably cheating on you despite the fact that you probably shop at both Kay Jewelers and Jared on a regular basis. That's my point of view.
That being said.. I drove into my sister's little suburban area to pick her up for dinner the other night and saw an example of exactly what you are talking about. The lasers were broadcast on the house, among their other typical Christmas lights and decorations, and it was a good addition. It gave depth and movement to the entire project, and it showed what I can only describe as old fashioned gumption - and the desire for consistent improvement. I had to stop the car and take it all in. The feeling I had lasted about 30 seconds.

That's pretty bad ###. Great for burning your in-laws on Christmas.I've seen some that looked good and some that looked like crap. But flamethrowers are all the rage now.
Decorating the house for Christmas is about creating a festive atmosphere for kids. I'm more focused on making my kids smile than I am about having the classiest decorations in the neighborhood.glvsav37 said:Awful...save the laser shows for planetariums on Pink Floyd nights.
Christmas decorating has gotten disgustingly cheesy over the last few years. Blow-ups scattered aimlessly around your lawn, every light blinking at a different cadence and color. Houses look like Santa vomited on their lawn now. Yea, call me a Scrooge, but just because Home Depot sells it, doesn't mean you have to buy it.
Need to go back to simple trim lighting, evergreen garland, candles in the window and red bows. When in doubt, see a Normal Rockwell or Thomas Kinkade painting.
I think I just had a seizure after watching that. :XI've seen some that looked good and some that looked like crap. But flamethrowers are all the rage now.
$20 on Amazon. I'm tempted, the kids would love this. The zombie clip would be great for Halloween, too.https://youtu.be/W0dQoEdK-bY?t=11s

This seems better. The reviewers said it's not as bright as the commercial makes them, but the concept seems better.
What type of savages put flamethrowers on their lawn ??I've seen some that looked good and some that looked like crap. But flamethrowers are all the rage now.
I have my laser light show projected onto my house synchronized with my Pink Floyd Christmas album.glvsav37 said:Awful...save the laser shows for planetariums on Pink Floyd nights.

I came in here to post exactly this.... the "dots" projected onto the house ... any color...Brony said:The red dots on a house makes it looks like the house has measles.
I know this is crazy, but maybe just talk to him?My neighbor across the street put up a laser show last year. Couldn't even walk through our living room without being distracted by the "show" outside. Ruined Christmas for us.
So this year we bought four outdoor amplifiers that could power a decently sized ACDC concert and blast Thunderstruck right at his house 24/7.
What for? I'm no longer a christian, so he can't ruin Christmas for me anymore since I no longer celebrate it. We celebrate Thor now during the holidays, and our setup is one of the best tributes to Thor in the neighborhood.I know this is crazy, but maybe just talk to him?
