woody78shovel; Got the parrot lights at Family Dollar, 2 sets of 10 lights for six bucks total. We got the palm tree from a local Elder Beerman store but have seen them online at ebay and amazon. They have 2', 4' and 6' trees.

We have our lights out...Lights on the awning, ropes lights around the 5er, on the ground and a yard light. All of these are running through a dimmer so we have as much or as little light as we choose.
Just the 3 of us...SpoiledRotten, TotallyRotten, and ALittleRotten

We deffinitely get into our lights and try to be festive during the seasons. This is something we enjoy as a family when we camp and walk around the campsites to see others different decor. There was one light fixture we saw this last time we went camping that I would like to have and have not found it yet, it was a 3ft to 4ft little old man holding a lantern and it was sitting at the end of the camp site and the lantern lights up (still looking for me one).
OH yes, I forgot the wind chimes. only thing more annoying other than a $250 gen set running during quiet hours, or at anytime for that matter.

Going through some of your posts, are you sure you don't want to change your name to GRUMPY rather than bumpy?

We call 'em "goofy lights."
Don't always use them, and of course one should observe a reasonable "lights out" time, but we love looking at other sites.
Our goofy lights on our old hybrid were palm trees. Now my DW just bought some bunches of grapes for the fiver. Can't wait to see them in action.
Cheers!

Where does everyone get their lights? I always look around but I want something different and unusual?
We always put up lights around the awning but I am ready for something new
