Good lord!  Wait a minute, I'm offended.  That's supposed to say Happy Holidays.  

My favorite around Montgomery are the bright blue lights people put on their homes.  I do put out lights, but not blue ones.

There's a guy here in town who has more plastic christmas statues than anyone I've ever seen.  I don't understand where he keeps it all year.  I'll try to snap some pics.  We're taking the kiddo by there tonight.

A family in our neighborhood has a 15 foot cross- made of blue lights.  It's pretty awful.  The only thing we can figure is that Jesus is a UK Wildcat!

Well, this isn't exactly the most lights I've ever seen, but it's the only set of decorations I know of with a web "ON/OFF" switch... :biggrin:

There's a house here that is not to be believed...will try to get a photo.  It's like Clark Griswald times 100...they do it at Halloween too. 

SJ--Love your quote!  :clap_1:

I thought it would be fun if everyone posted the craziest Christmas decoration which you have seen this year. The one above is a full size 18 wheeler found on Hwy 231 in Eufaula, AL.
