Yes, but just think...now you all can catch up on your "Christmas Lights" projects. I still have a few finishing touches to do yet myself.

We drove around Stittsville tonight before heading to a car folks gathering in Carleton Place. We were not impressed with the spotlights so much....We did see the Costco GE brand Icles on one house....looked really cool.

Are they the lit-up icecles that look like they are melting?The spotlites have to be in a very dark spot to get the full effect.

Are they the lit-up icecles that look like they are melting? Yes, the lights trickle down in a wave effect....

The laser style are supposed to be pretty cool. I got 2 led multi globes that are pretty cool. home depot had them on sale for $18.00 each. I am using them indoors...disco city..LOL...I used them last night for the Club's Christmas party, lit up the dance floor and ceiling with them. People liked it. They cast about 20 feet. Those laser ones are $70.00 and up...

I was going to suggest check out Rona. I find they have some better Christmas lights and stuff better than CT and Home Depot. I still use the old school bulbs and strings, just can't convert to Led's yet. Dam the Electric Bill...LOL
Yesterday was Nice, Sunday too. If I had my Car I would have gone for a cruise for sure.
