Let's post up pics of our decorated houses, or any nice, or totally wacky stuff that you find around town.

Here's our rec room. It will actually be the first time to have christmas down here it will be different but more cozy. We even brought the TV down since we had one upstairs and downstairs but the one downstairs broke. now that the TV is in a rectangular shaped room, which makes it perfect for that, I need to covince my parants to get a suround sound system.

And here's a shelf with houses and a skating rink, the people actually skate around when it's turned on. I notice the lack of light, and I have a few modding ideas in mind.

But I doubt my mom would let me play around with that.

Oh, I remember those, was trying to recall what store I saw them in, a few years back.

I'll have to get some pics made, we went with an artificial tree this year and I keep wanting to water it.

We added some more stuff I'll have to take another pic. We hardly turn ours on either. We probably would if it ran on mains but since it's battery we don't want to kill it. Though I think there's a plug to put in a DC adapter I could look into that.

We also fixed up the power, it's all plugged into a power bar now and it's behind so it looks safer.

Hmmm, my family has a skating ring like that too. The figures just rotate around the skating ring. It's all magnetized. Kind of would be funny if the polarity suddenly reversed. You'd see figures flying off the skating rink (hehe, like people who don't know how to skate

)

hahahahaha I should mod it so it randomly does that. LOL I think they're permanent magnets but I can make them electromagnets... man tha would kill the battery though.

Run it for 5 minutes and that's it.

LOL I should put it on and make my cat see it,she'll attack all the skaters.

My cat will be so funny this christmas it will be her first christmas and she's going to go nuts. She already is with the tree, wait till there's gifts she'll want to go hide under them and stuff. Hopefully she won't unwrap all of them overnight though... she would do that too.

Wow, that's nice. I should get a couple of pictures of this one guy's house. He's got Christmas lights like crazy. I'll bet his hydro bill just shoots up. I don't think there's one square inch of his house that DOESN'T have a light. It's really nice. Oh and Red, you should get a picture of your cat this Christmas. Inside the stockings or under the tree. That would look sooo cute.

haha yeah. I can't wait for the gifts to be under the tree, she's going to be so funny! I think she'll try to unwrap them by biting them and pulling on the paper.

I think this year it's good the tree is downstairs, that way we can close the doors so the cat can't get to it at night. It's her first christmas, and man will she be naughty I think.

My old cat used to get stressed when too many things were different, not her, she gets all excited and stuff.

Hehehe, that's cute. I used to have a pair of budgies. During Christmas, it flew out of the cage and caused havok around the living room when all the guests were around. It was awesome.

No, that pic was taken in Arkansas. I saved it last year from a site that was showing outside decorations.

Cats and trees are a hoot, just hope she don't climb up too far and turn it over.

haha what's funny is that we have this blanket under the tree (I'll have to retake a pic since we added more houses too) and at first she'd go sleep on it, and/or attack it.

Lately she's been keeping herself busy with a rubber band. She's crazy with that thing. I found it in the sink today.

Here's a pic of our house I took like today. Go nuts and laugh at our lack of snow. I know we don't have allot, compared to usual.

(though this is probably considered allot for some:D)

This is my church before the sunday school play. Not counting the animals and stuff on the stage which were put for the play, it's my mom that did the decorations.

Nice pics, Red. Your Mom did a good job.

I took pics of our tree but can't get the pics to upload from the camera. Guess I did one Windows update too many.

Camera is 5 years old anyway and Fuji never updated their software for XP.
