SteveMaris Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 No one drives off when I go outside. I get applause, "thank you's", and "how do you do this?" every night when I go out with the dog. Coming from the little kids, it makes me so happy.

George Simmons Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Well I don't want to worry you, but I think you have reason to be creeped out. I think they're either stalking you because he or she has a crush and thinks that a juicy extreme decorator would be just the thing to tie up and thrust under their tree. Or else they're casing the joint for copper. I mean, what do you suppose the odds are that someone passing by actually liked your lights enough to come back twice?Good luck. Merry Christmas!Had one car come back three times tonight. Now thats starting to creep me out...Well I don't want to worry you, but I think you have reason to be creeped out.I think they're either stalking you because he or she has a crush and thinks that a juicy extreme decorator would be just the thing to tie up and thrust under their tree.

doug petschke Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I was at a fellow LOR enthusiasts house last night when we did our tour... in a huge bus!!! A person on the bus knew these people and gave them a text to say we were there. They came out, he was in a santa outfit and she was in a snowman outfit,, when we were in the driveway getting candy canes for our group of kids, all of a sudden the 10 or so other cars opened their doors and here come their kids. I'm now kind of wondering if they made it back in the house.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Simmons Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I think the Santa hat is the universal sign that you're genuine and not someone just creeping around out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orville Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Have a full Santa Suit and Mrs. Claus outfit for the wife, we were outside Saturday night handing out Candy Canes from 7pm-9pm and will be doing that again Sunday 12/23 at the same time, So looks like when I have to take out the trash, just to keep folks from driving off, may have to put on the Santa suit first, and of course, have the wife come out in her Mrs. Claus suit to pass out any Candy Canes and explain Santa had to take care of a couple chores first, but will be out to greet them in a few minutes. Santa's got to set an good example and go wash his hands after handling garbage.Merry Christmas/Merry Yule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orville Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Had one car come back three times tonight. Now thats starting to creep me out...Could be the reason for that that isn't as worrisome as the others have posted. I have visited the same display several times on the same evening. I may have found it by driving by and stopped and watched it {1st time}, then I will write down where I saw it, go get my wife and bring her to see it {if she wasn't with me - 2nd visit}, then I may want to bring some family or friends and show them the display {3rd visit}, and since the car can only hold so many at a time, may come back 1 or 2 more times with other friends to show them the display.So yes, there may have been times I've visited a display up to 4 or 5 times in one night. And there are some displays that my wife and I just really enjoy, so we may end up at those displays 2 or 3 times in one night because we really loved how they did a certain song we really love to the lights.So it's not always bad if someone visits several times to the display in the same evening, but see, it's all open to how YOU view and see it, everyone's perspective will never be exactly the same.So if you see a Black 1997 GMC Jimmy or an 1998 Silver Ford Escort visiting your display repeatedly in a night, that could just be us giving folks a view/tour of your display. Wether any of the folks we share the display with come back on their own, we don't know, some tell us they do, some never mention they went back on their own {but we think they did}.And we don't, and won't, drive off if you come outside either. Even if you looked like Quasimoto or Frankenstein's Monster, we wouldn't drive off. Beauty comes from within, what's on the outside is just a covering that could be hiding something wonderful, like {a} new friend{s}. So we don't bolt because of folks appearances. But that's just us.

rainyoregonchristmas Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Not to hijack the thread but...If we're hijacking the thread, lets go somewhere nice and sunny.... Like Cairns Aus. ...OOooooOOoooo snorkeling on the Great Barrier... That would be a perfect way to polish off Christmas. Have a full Santa Suit and Mrs. Claus outfit for the wife,Nah... I want a Santa coat like "Sparky" nothing like a stylish red blazer to say I'm a modern Santa. Especially if you are holding a Moose Mug full of Egg Nog (Yuck).

David Rise Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I'm a pretty scary person anyhow. This has happened a few times for me. I started bringing my 5yr old out with me. Seems to have worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbaker4 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Thanks for the suggestions!Here is my new memorial for the Sandy Hook Elementary Victims. It plays once each music cycle."26" is made up of 26 pixels. There are 20 white pixels that represent the students whose lives were taken. There are 6 green pixels for the Faculty whose lives were taken.The listing of names still plays, but only once, when the lights get turned on.
