Still wondering who were all those little people running around up there? How many strings of minis would it take to reach to the Moon? According to my figures - about 47 million strings ,but we would have to violate the 3 string plug-in rule because it would take over 16 million amps to light them up. I can see it happening now. Planet Christmas will become obsolete and Chuck will have to rename it "Interplanetary Christmas". And following that will be "Interplanetary PLUS".
when you start calculating how many strands itll take to get to the moon as well as the amount of amps

You've redesigned your website for the third time in 18mths insteadmof doing the really important jobs!
Also you skip buying lunch and make peanut butter sandwitches so you can spend the money paying to sit in an internet cafe reading these forums!!!

you and your wife get a short get away ..... mine was in atlantic city and the only time you have any luck is when you are carrying c6 leds in your pocket and you tell your wife and she yells at you but then Puts some in her pocket and wins!
not to mention being in atlantic city and still talking to you guys everyday!
You start imaging how you could decorate other peoples yards as you drive down the street or think to yourself, that yard is laid out perfectly for a light show

Something like the mega-desirable corner lot!?? Be careful about the smaller house though--less storage!

Yea, but if it's a smaller house on a B I G E R lot, oh how nice! Think "an excuse to build the ultimate storage shed for Christmas decorations.”
When you map out the distances between all the Dicsount stores & your house
...and time how long it will take to go from one to the other
When you visit 2 Lowes, 3 HD's, 2 Targets, 2 Big Lots & other stores for after & pre-Christmas sales
When your Christmas list is:
Lights
...Minis
...LED's
...Strobes
Blow Molds
Inflatables
LOR
Extension cords
When you are happy you reduced your Chsristmas wattage use by almost 1000 watts. And your neighbors don't even use 1,000 watts for their entire display
When you are building a "sunroom" for storage
...and a garage
.........with a great room over it
...............and a walk up attic
....................and you have already added on 10' x 12' to the shed
.......................closing in underneath the deck (to be built) for more storage
When you realize your MIL has a big empty basment
and an empty 2nd floor
...and you think of what you could store there
Be careful about the smaller house though--less storage!
