    There is another 600 going up here in a second. But we have ran out of lights. We decided that we are going to get an electrician out here after the holidays to put a dedicated fuse box and outlets for the lights so I can use incandescent lights (instead of all LED like we have now) since they are much much cheaper. I’m going shopping after Christmas to buy all the lights I can when they are all on sale, so next year will be even bigger. I think he said he is building arches and more trees for next years show.

    It’s red and white rope lights, I am going to put those around the arch in front of the house, outlining it. Then I bought more red and white lights for the porch bushes. Oh and I found some stars in the garage and put them dangling from the tree.
