Griswolds move into Neighbourhood

I was driving not 5 minutes from where I live tonight and nearly swerved off the road when I saw this house decorated with lights.

Yes I wished I lived in this road because the houses are huge but if I were this person's neighbours I would not be happy.

Can you imagine the electric bill

And you know he had to check every bulb. If one goes out the whole thing doesn't work

Hey, I have a neighbor, one house between me and them. He makes that look shabby. This dude has EVERY inch of his lawn covered and has it all syncronized to music.

I always joke with the husband about how we have the Griswolds living a few houses away..... at least they are not next door!!!

Yeah, because I can hear the music all the way at my house!!! They actually have items over the entire front yard. It was dusk so not all the lights were on.
