Probably your HOA board members saying stuff.

I'm going to put mine up for Halloween and hope that no one notices them the whole month of November doing nothing.

I always shoot for the weekend of thanksgiving. As far as commment they are just jelous that you have spent alot of time working on your display. congrats to your first year with animated lights, you should be proud

This will be my first year with animated lights for Christmas. But even with static lights, we never turned them on until the weekend after Remembrance day ( Nov. 11). I hope to have it ready this year with probably 3 songs for the rest of November and then hopefully adding 2 more in December.

I checked on my town's community light up night. This year it's Dec 7. I'm aiming to go live then.

I hate to be negative but it's WAY to early and really takes the magic out of the season.  I know that it's easy to get excited about the new display but if you start it too soon, what should be really cool and a positive can quickly turn into a not so cool negative.  I would shut it down and tell your neighbors that you were just testing it before the season starts and since this is your first attempt at this type of display, you needed to let it run for a few days to make sure that it will work dependably for the season.  Now that you see how it looks, you might want to add an additional song or two if you have the time to suprise those neighbors when the season actually begins.

Yep.  Too early.  Here, the day after Thanksgiving is generally accepted ok for lights on.  Hope I can pull it off, got lots to do.

I agree, it's a bit too early. I'd wait until after Thanks Giving to turn them on (but I don't do a Christmas display)

I do, do a Halloween display and that went live on Oct 1st, but to keep the neighbors sweet I invited then to a pre-view test run on Saturday Sep 29th.
I emailed all the folks on my street, explained what I was planning, what to do if they had an issue with cars, noise etc and if anyone wanted to see how it worked to drop by my House.

We had about 20 Neighbors come out to watch, and had a few beers together. Was a good experience.

On Halloween night many neighbours came out to hand out candy and enjoy the lights and many commented that they liked my display, so it's good to keep them happy.

This is my first year also. A lady stopped while i was putting my display up and said Ty to my wife for the display.  Stuff like that makes it worth it.

[urthegman]

+ 1 for too early.

[chrisatpsu]

it's your light show, put it up when you want it up!  hehe

That really is bad advice Chris and you are not doing him any favors.
