Daneisenberg Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hey, I wanted to see when you guys start your display. I want to start mid October to late October. I usually start around November 4 or 5 but now that I don't do a haunted house, and I have 20,000 MORE christmas lights that I purchased I want to start earlier. In all my display will have just over 100,000 lights. So when do you guys start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Boyd Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 One or both Pixel Trees are up and done by Halloween. The day after Halloween, full set-up begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I've got some stuff up for "testing" already that I won't get around to taking down. I officially begin setup on October 1. I start looking for the panic button somewhere around Oct 20th. We light on Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougd Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I am halfway set up by November 1. Who wants to set up in the cold. Everyone knows I do a Christmas dispaly anymore, they are glad to see me get started setting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffl Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I usually start Oct 15th but this year I plan on the 1st. But truth is I started hanging pixels last weekend on the house and they are staying put unless they have issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince4xmas Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I start testing all lights and props next week. Then just LED lights on the house and roof until November 1st. Then props on house and garage. Then yard props and trial runs. Show goes live on night after Thanksgiving and runs daily until Jan 2nd, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orville Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 For Christmas, usually sometime between Nov. 2 to Nov. 8, since my display is small, I don't have to start as early as a lot of you folks, and doing a Halloween Display, I don't want to be mixing Halloween Lights/Decor with Christmas Lights/Decor despite that''s the way retail stores do it today. So once the Halloween stuff is down{not neccessarily put away}, the Christmas stuff starts going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
