    Lots of great work, now that we are primed for the event, we are all waiting for dark.

    Everything is coming along nicely Susie. I'd love to be able to see all your Christmas decorations in real life as I'm sure they'll look really spectacular.

    I bet your home is a "must see" for everyone in your neighborhood.
    Shall we organize a 'Stew Tour to Susie's???

    Yes, I will take pics of course we try to be lit by Dec. 1st. today, but our shipment did not come today as promised and so we can not finish the front until, these special lights are in place...and we are on the local tour to see the lights, and have bus tours coming by later.. I can not get all of our display on one pic. as all four sides of our home are decorated, to get all of the front, I need to go across the street and up on the neighbors lawn.. lol I will do my best! stay tuned.. Thank you for your support! and yes this is a lot of work for 2 old people such as we are... 67 & 73 yrs. old..we will do it as long as we are able to.

    Susie your displays are so much better than most of the ones even our shopping centres put on!!! I know they're a lot of hard work but think of the pleasure you give to others. Certainly makes it all worth while doesn't it? Many thanks for allowing us all to share them with you. :-D

    Your display's gorgeous! :D Neither wonder you're on the bus tour. Thanks for posting the night scenes.
