I left my wife and kids alone to decorate the Xmas tree and ONLY the Xmas tree. This is what I came home to.

It's a female thing...just back away and don't say a word...


...or else. ;)

damn, there goes the listening room! when we moved i bartered for a non-molestable space of my own... course i lost any influence in dining room, living room, and three bedrooms, but i have a 12x12 foot space titled "The Zen Room," this is my escape from frosty the snowman dishes. :yikes:

Yikes! glad my wife wasn't looking over my shoulder when I opened this thread.

Note to self: Add a lock to the materials list for the new listening room...

That is one big Xmas tree,very nice!Is there an Angel on top of the tree?

Your tube amp is really glowing now

Earlier and earlier. . .

5 AM this morning and already many of the radio stations are playing Christmas music :banana: . . . Not a bad thing, I kinda enjoyed it but I am quite sure I will get sick of it by Christmas :cry:

I have to agree with EchoWars.

Don't say anything. The longevity of you and your system depends on it. :whip:

Just say "looks good dear." :thmbsp:

Yeah. Just bear & grin it-otherwise, you KNOW you'll lose, & get looks of "Daddy's a chit-ass" all around. I think I've escaped this nonsense for the next several years by having The World's Meanest Doberman. But honey, Fritz might eat that stuff & die...or,No, we ain't puttin' that up this year-the dog will just tear it up...-Sandy G.

The good side of this is if you turn off the lights it will possess a damned nice ambience that will put her in a nice mood if you play the right stuff...

Notch, notch. Know what I mean?

SAY NO MORE! :naughty:

:lmao:
Just went through the same thing here too... :yes:
My wife just love's decorating for the holidays. Every time she gets a new piece of her little Christmas village collection her face lights up like a little kid. I was having a hard time understanding this whole concept, until she pointed out how I am when the UPS guy delivers a "big box" (shhhhhh - audio stuff) ;).

hmmmmm :scratch2:

Now, I'm just really happy that she too has a collection that she can thoroughly enjoy and really "get into" as well. In the grand scheme of all things great... it makes sense. :yes:

Happy Holiday's !!!

Pro that's the best I've seen your gear look whatchoo bitchin' for? :confused:

My college- and teen-age kids take it as a personal mission to have the most outrageous display of outdoor Christmas lights in the surrounding area. Think Snoopy's doghouse in the Charlie Brown Christmas cartoon they show every year which wins first place for decorations -- except more gaudy.

I think they are saving money for a separate generator to power all the light strings. Of course our middle-class, bedroom town subdivision has all manner of "straight" displays: white lights, lighted reindeer, etc. so our house gets the Methodist fisheye from the neighbors -- which is the whole point.

Right now (they've only completed Phase 1, they tell me) in the front yard there are about 25 strings of lights running all directions from the second floor to the ground/trees/basketball goal/neighbor's tree, etc. and a inflatable 8-ft snowman mounted in a wheelchair. The strings look something like a chaotic laser detection system for a priceless piece of art. Did I mention the light flashers and timers that induce epilepsy? Last year the snowman was atop a trampoline. Might try for a digital image if I can find my monopod.

As EchoWars says, "back away."

Wornears, what you're trying to tell us is that yr kids are trying to turn yr home into a po' white trash extravaganza, right? "As tacky as Possible" <grin>-Sandy G.

Sandy G:

You ain't lyin'. It's not that far of a leap for us <G>

Looks good Mike! But for the love of God get those lights outta your rack and away from the nOrh. :D

I had to chuckle as I saw Xmas overtake your rack. I just got off the phone with the misses as she is putting the finishing touches on the paint for my HT room in the basement of our new house. She told me that no xmas decorations were going up until she did my room first. Afterall my company won't transfer me there until after the first of the year anyway. No decorations for me here in our old house, just bare walls, a TV, and 2 channel setup.


I do like the ambience given by that lighting though!

Cheers,
