Holiday Light Displays

Our family has been decorating for the holidays for about 20 years now. We literally go all out for the holidays. We are known around the neighborhood as "the Griswalds." Our entire home is decorated inside with more than three trees. The entire front yard is filled with various holiday displays. We spend close to $300 a month on electricity.

Years ago, we started with just a few decorations, like an outdoor, lighted nativity scene. Some decorations we had back then, we still use every season! Of course, each year we always add and rotate so each year is not the same. It takes us about a week to decorate.
