Merry Thanksgiving!!! OR What Are You Thankful For???

Lowes in Charlottesville, where the Xmas stuff has been up for about two weeks now. I can't possibly be the only one lamenting the loss of Thanksgiving to commercialization...

UPDATE: Mark Gardner has decided to take this to the next level. Post in the comments what you are thankful for this Thanksgiving season!

I started putting up my lights the weekend before the election, although I only turn them on to check out how it's going.

I hate having christmas stuff in stores before holloween, but realise that we want to get out christmas lights up before christmas, so we do need to start buying them before thanksgiving (like I have to buy a couple thousand blue lights to replace the ones that look more like clear lights now, blue is notorious for flaking).

I've finished phase one, about 5,000 lights up, about 30,000 to go.

The first real push is friday after thanksgiving, I should have 15,000 lights up before the end of the weekend if all goes well.

Deer go out later, too much temptation for kids to come by and kill them (I had half my deer beheaded last year, but not one was stuffed in a mailbox).

Lights sitting on the grass go last, because the kids will step on them, and because I'll step on them putting up the other lights.

I'll be posting pictures occasionally at my blog.
