Question:

Is it too early to put up some outside X-Mas lights if I do not actually turn them on except for a brief test until the evening of Thanksgiving?

Yes.

To put up anything Christmassy, one must wait until Black Friday.

So preparing early is verboten as well?

I do not want to turn them on, but will be busy as #### TGiving weekend.

Then set them up after TGiving weekend.

THE SACRED LINE MUST NOT BE CROSSED.

thanksgiving into christmas can get crazy. i don't begrudge anyone setting lights up ahead of turkey day.

Just don't plug them in (beyond testing purposes) until after Turkey Day!

You could do what I do and just not do a damn thing.

This is my preference as well but I don't fault people for wanting to decorate (unless they are my sister and won't ever take them down).

How many lights? Are they going to be strung all over and really obvious? Is it JUST lights, or are you trying to sneak in a few inflatables?

If they (the lights) are going to be tastefully restrained, and not lit until Thanksgiving evening, then you have my blessing.

Just be sure that when you light them for testing purposes, you take a picture and sent it to Vlad.

I will be 3 sets of icicle lights, one set over front porch, 20 feet; and the other 2 will be on the roofline over the garage. Will only be turned on to test that it works until 11/27 when the rest of the decorations and the Tree goes up.



Wife will decorate the mailbox and other stuff after I get it out of the basement on 11/27.

No inflatables.

Icicle lights. I don't know. It's not like you don't really notice those during the day, they're pretty obvious hanging there.

Norym can use Shape Change and IM: Elevated.

This seems silly.
First of all, ten days is one hell of a long test, but then to not turn it on after that is just weird.

So does your postman usually go into your basement to deliver your mail where you apparently are keeping your mailbox?

I got nothing.

"It is not clear what condition the victim is in."

I think I can guess.

You don't know!
