The Clark Griswold House Challenge...

Anyone have one in the neighborhood that rivals the movie?

Or take their time to create one of your own as the ultimate prop?

Post 'em if you got 'em

I can't get past the knots in the strings of lights...so I can't enter. But seriously looking forward to seeing other's pics.

I might have to take a picture of a house around the corner from me. Their front yard is FILLED with the inflatable lawn decorations.

Come to Hawaii. The Filipino houses make Clark's look bare.

Gotta take a pic of the local worst offenders - there's a website for really great/really bad Christmas displays in Northern VA at Hollys Tacky Christmas Lights in Fairfax County, Virginia. Worth a look. Ah, THERE it is! Tacky Christmas Lights Details - over on Wayfarer Road, near Fairfax Station. The yard display can likely be seen from space, I think.

Re: The Clark Griswold House Challenge...

we have entire neighborhoods here in SoCal that single handedly use more power this time of year then all of Mexico combined. Candy Cane Lane in Torrance is one of them. It was reallllly out of control in the 80's and very early 90's.

If they have them on tonight, I'll take a pic of the house right across from me. Every square inch of their front yard is full of those inflatable things. Along with lights and music playing! Every year they keep adding more. One night I would love to sit on my roof with my pellet rifle.......

Re: The Clark Griswold House Challenge...

I keep waiting to look outside and see one of my cats riding the neighbor's inflatable snowman as it deflates due to claws in it lol. My friend's dad went all out as he does every year, he decorates part of the house you can't see from the road. I wish I had pics of it to post from this year. He crams so much xmas stuff inside the house i'm amazed they can move.
