I would love to see your Griswold display!
I used to enjoy going big with the outside lights, but Mama doesn't allow me on ladders more than 6' high these days. Back in 2011, I fell from one of the peaks of our house putting up lights. The ladder slipped out from under me, and I fell and broke my ankle. I spun in the air and tried to absorb the impact with my knees and hips. I really felt like I stuck the landing, but my ankle rolled in the loose landscaping rocks that I landed in. Three operations later, my wife put an end to the Christmas lights high up on the house. My son made a Grinch cut out and made it look like the Grinch had stolen the lights from along the rooflines of the upper levels and was working on the lower soffit lights, haha. Unfortunately, the plywood that my son cut the Grinch out of started breaking down really badly so we no longer put him out, but he lasted 11 years.
The third picture is from last Sunday evening after I put my lights up, that is about all I do outside these days.

Well played!
