when does eveyone shut down their show

[babybear]

This year I had my show up and running the day before thanksgiving. Was featured on local news and Listed on Kids out and about. I have had a nice steady flow of cars but last night and tonight. Down almost to nothing. So when does every one pack it up for the season?  My big thing is I have to decide what to do with My mega trees. These are built with strips and this year my first two weeks were a battle with the rain. I have ordered everything to go to bullets I'm doing a 24 wide by 100 tall 2inch spacing and a 50 tall by 10 wide again 2inch spacing. Knowing I have issues at times would it be wrong to give them away?

Mine was only running the week before Christmas and stopped the day after.

New year's Eve is typically my last night.

New Years eave is the last scheduled show for me.

If I have not videoed it I will run it later in the evening in short runs to get the shots I want. Once I am happy with my footage I'll start the take down.

I wish I could follow Bob Rivers advice (from the parody song Decorations): 

Got to keep those yuletide decorations up all winter
God appreciates my plugged-in tribute to The Savior
God would love it if I could keep 'em up till well past Easter

They are dark after New Years Day.

I ran New Years Day since it was on a weekend evening, otherwise New Years Eve is normally the last show.

Tonight is my last night, I figure I would coincide with the kids going back to school tomorrow.  Had a few cars already tonight.  If you light it, they will come ...

I think last night was it for me.  Wanted 1 more weekend, but noticed some pixels on the roof are out and 1 strand of AC lights is stuck on.  Not worth trying to fix at this point.

My show started Thanksgiving Night and ran Through Dec 31st, After 9:00 PM I went to roof lights only until 7:00 AM in the Morning and that will run until the 8th and then fully shut off.

My only problem was Thanksgiving Night My arches would not fully work, found the problem due to too much tension on the strip which caused separation fixed it zip tied it to another pixel mounting strip and put tension on that strip and they have worked ever since no problem.

New Year's Eve for me.  I take down as much props as I can but this year we have a foot or so of snow on the roof so the pixels are staying up there until March by the looks of it.  This is my first year storing lights out in the shed. Hopefully they will be ok in the extreme cold.... at least they are out of the rest of the elements

Mine is still going and I plan to shut it down this upcoming weekend, I'm still getting some light traffic. I spent an awful lot of time planning for it and I'm not in a hurry to shut it down

Merry Christmas Everyone!   It has been a long time since I have posted anything, but felt moved to do so today.  I have been isolated from my family since the 23rd because I started showing symptoms of Covid (I was able to get in on the 26th and diagnosis confirmed).  Fortunately, I have what I would consider to a case on the mild end (no hospitalization needed at this point).  As I now lay here in bed, isolated from my family for a couple of more days, I was reading through my Twitter account, I saw a post about keeping the Lights up for hero?s until Jan 31.

I have always had a great appreciation for what our medical professionals do on a daily basis, and now even more so.  I am even more keenly aware of this fact after talking with the medical assistant who worked with me when I went in to be tested (I was definitely showing symptoms and he still got right in there and did what had to be done).   This medical assistant was a nurse at one of our local hospitals when he got covid back in April.  He struggled with it for 2 months before he could return to work.

Therefore, I thought I would pass this post along to this forum. So that we can all show our appreciation for all the  medical frontline personnel who give of themselves day in and day out!  If there any on this forum - my hat is off to you!!!
