Mention in the DMN Guide

So I hear from the grapevine that murphychristmas has gotten a mention in the dallas morning news local guide section for Carrollton, FB and Addison. Yeah publicity!

Lets correct one fact in that article, we have 50,000 lights, not 14,000. Oh, I do remember when we had 14,000. Life was much darker then.

I also see that we are getting a number of web referrals from dfwareamoms.com
Thanks Jill for plugging our little display!

October is here.

Wow. October 2nd. Lights start going in the yard in 30 days.

We dont yet have a theme, we dont yet have a plan. Pieces of the plan we do have.

Brief snippet:

  • Return of the 20ft mega tree
  • Magical wreath
  • North Pole
  • New light layout
  • No Wizards of Winter!

I am taking off two weeks vacation in November to get things moving.. Not much will happen until then.. but then BLAMO, we are off!


Its June. Where has the time gone?

Author: davey | Filed under: 2009 Thursday Jun 4,2009

Its June 4th to be exact.

I must admit, the lights were put away last year, and I have not done anything with the display this year.  My peers are hard at work on thiers, but alas.. not I.

So, I need some help.

  • Song ideas, let me know what we should be using this year!
  • Steel pipe. I need some. 30ft would be nice.. 1 1/2 or 2in pipe..  1/4 in or less wall..
  • Anything else you think a middle aged xmas person might need..

Lights are off

If you have driven by, the lights are off.

Fret not, the counter on murphychristmas.com has been reset.

327 days until lights on in 2009!
