There are a lot of things my back has robbed me of this year and honestly it’s pretty damn depressing.
    Other neighbors put up lights? Idea: a friend pools some cash with his neighbors every year and they get together and rent a man-lift for a day and get everyone's lights up without using any ladders.

    I'm an old and I don't matter though.

    Otoh.... same principle




    Edit: I'm talking about the 15-foot tall ones that form a wall around some houses now. Every time I walk into costco or menards it's just a wall of seasonal tackiness. blech.
    The skeletons I’m thinking of aren’t inflatables.

    LOL, god, I'm just complaining about janky *** GDO. I can't even imagine having a $2M house and having to look at the Macy's thanksgiving parade every time I drive by. COuld be even worse since they can afford that lol.

    Ugh, that blows. Sorry to hear that.... :-(

    I'm all for lights. I think lights are amazing. Been wanting to do the same but i'd want a nice fiberglass ladder and that's just not in the budget right now. Plus my fear of heights.... Either way. I think they can look really cool and brings a nice touch to the neighborhood.

    There's a line though. I don't want CHevy Chase setting up and pointing 2.5 million lumens at my bedroom window.

    My neighbor has 3-4 human-sized ones, including a dog skeleton. They're amazing. I went the other way and got like 20 15" skeletons. Next year I plan to double that count and get a larger one and do a big setup where the little guys are fighting the big guy.

    Somebody in my area has it up, posed such that it looks to be hanging their Xmas lights.

    If 20-somethings knew how much fun it is to be old they'd kill themselves or us.
    I could say that about the 60s. I spent 13 months of the last year stone deaf, and it was an excellent year. Any other time in my life that would have been awful. And I was both busy and productive.
