The local landscaping companies have all gotten into the Frame Your Whole Hose With Lights business for Christmas. This business has been growing for a few years now and the growth is steady.
They will put up and take down your lights, then store them for the summer and come back and put them up again next year.
Long time residents hate the new section in the neighborhood, it features Ryan homes. The older sections feature mostly custom, mostly brick homes. And sure enough the 25 feet high blow-up spinning, flashing Walmart lights are showing up in the new section. I'm pretty sure there is some pearl-clutching happening among the old-timers.

Edward Ryan was one of my first customers in this business. That commission is probably why I am still in this business.
