A friend recently told me they'd received a bid of over $1,000. to put up their Christmas lights, this year. To save money, she's decided to put up their own Christmas lights themselves. I never knew till I moved here, that people hire others to put up decorations and holiday lights for them. Where I'm from, you do it yourselves and take pride in it.

Editor's Note: It's common around here also to decorate yourself except possibly businesses. Definitely a good way to save money if you are used to paying for it.

Yes...where I come from this is just a normal part of 'light' housekeeping.
I've seen whole neighborhoods in my town that look as though they were decorated by the same crew. Very professional, and very similar.
The newspaper indicates the addresses and the cars line up to tour after Thanksgiving clear on up to Xmas.
Good on U not only gives a sense of Pride,but the whole family enjoys as well, so much fun,I always recycle used stuff from yrs ago,updating when worn out at cheap after Christmas sales, or second-hand shops.our family Loves it,as well as making our own decorations :) Even my Daughter's kitten Miffy joins in...
