Las Vegas Christmas Lights
One of our family traditions each year is to drive around surrounding neighborhoods a couple of days before Christmas and look at the house lights.
There’s one house down the street that goes all out every year: Decorations start going up the day after Thanksgiving and continue all throughout the following weekend. Once they’re up cars pull over in front of the house to take it all in, and every year new stuff is added.
This year they added a countdown timer in the window! The kids got a kick out of that.
When do you take your lights and/or holiday decorations down? Our homeowners association says no later than mid-January, which is reasonable to me, though ours are usually down January 1.
A couple more pictures after the cut!
Sadly, not a lot of people do anything. Maybe it’s the lack of snow that nixes the holiday mood (it did for me our first couple of years here), but when you find one it’s hard to miss!

Well, that first picture beats anything that my neighbours have up in our neighbourhood and we’re certainly not lacking for snow right now! =)

those look awesome, but i’d not like to have to pick up the december electricity bill ;-). I’m in oz and not a lot of people do much here. I think it’s the heat too.
