We don't do the exterior lights on the house , not risking falling off the ladder to hang lights that no one will see as we are in the middle of no where . Plus we have mature bushes which are a ladder obstacle course
. But we do have a small lighted Christmas tree on the front porch ( faces road ) along with two lighted wooden snow men and various other decorations and wreaths . Inside the house the wife has it looking like a Christmas store
which is fine by me we have plenty of Christmas spirit to share with family .
