Subject: RE: BS: Over-the-top Christmas Lights!
I haven't driven over in that neighborhood for awhile, but on the corner where you turn onto a friend's road (this is on the, uh, "outskirts" of Nottingham, NH) where houselots are 3 to 5 acres (or more) is a stand of smaller (less than 20 ' tall) evergreens each illuminated with one of the rainbow of colors they all present. Lots of "tropical fruit" colors -- real New Hampshuh (not). A bit over the top for this neck of the woods.

Back in Milwaukee (Sudsville on the Old Polluted Bathtub) there was a house near Lake Michigan that wrapped all of the trees (good sized ones, too) in white lights -- each branch! The house was sold a few years ago and I don't think the new owners continued the tradition.
