Now that might go over good here in Florida, but in Canada ???

So you mean to tell me that nobody down there has snowmen or snowflakes? JK.

I wanted to add something different and unexpected, I had 2 flamingos in last years display and people really liked them. I bought 2 white flamingos, cut them in half, added 50 CCP's into each and then glued them back together. I'll have 13 on that tree and 1 on top of the spiral tree I'm building this year. I also picked up 2 7ft LED palm trees. Here's a short vid of last years flamingos...

Ya the cold sucks but the north is way easier on my display. No rain, dew, dust, insects, critters, or vandals to deal with! Oh and snow too! Though the thought of be able to decorate in shorts and t-shirt is pretty tempting as well...

See I had the rain, and snow to deal with in Massachusetts. It would poor for days during show season. I will be wearing my shorts during setup this year, I told my wife when we moved here that I'm not wearing anything but shorts and t shirts for the first year Except to work lol

Last year at our annual Xmas party (which is a gag gift swap event), someone brought two lighted flamingos!  I was desperate to get them, and could have, but my family overruled my choice!!! I was so upset - and I'm hoping they return this year because I'm DEFINITELY going to get them somehow, some way!

Love it.  Great to see a creative 'old school' idea come to life.  

Now you just need a video of it in action.

It somehow looks like something from New Jersey.  We (in Florida) have got a bromeliad tree, which last year was lighted with three plain 10 watt floodlights.  This year, probably more light, possibly programmed color-changing with LOR equipment.  And we do have a a string-light flamingo, a heron, porpoise, assorted butterflies (bigger and better for this year) and spiders.  Alligators are banned as too scary and too dangerous.  In terms of plastic flamingos, I saw some terrific made-in-USA ones at the Botanic Garden in Christchurch, New Zealand but haven't  managed to find them for sale in the US.  Amazing.
