The Holiday Lights I Wish I Would Have Thought Of

Holiday Lights:  Most folks put up a few lights, maybe a blow up character or two, then we all have "THAT" neighbor. You know the one. 

 

The one that "goes big or goes home".. LOL.  They pull out all the stops. This home is located in on our Maricopa subdivisions called Rancho El Dorado.  This home has become a staple to show folks visiting. But what is interesting is, this isn't the house that draws all the attention. Nope. 

 

You see their neighbor had a small dilemma. How do you compete with something this great?  They came up with the perfect solution....

 

Yep, if you can't beat them, then do the next best thing.   LOL

 

The night I went to take this picture, there were 4 - 5 other cars stopping to admire this two-some.

Pretty clever if I do say so myself. 

 

So if you are in Maricopa and you are looking for some cool Holiday lights, make sure to swing by and check out what the Maricopa locals call... The Ditto House!

I'm also with the Ditto neighbor, Like every year at this time I'm still looking for enough extension cords to put the candles in the windows.  Most years I don't find them so the candles spend the holiday in the closet.  Humm... I think I'll go look for those extension cords again.  Happy Holidays!!!

Whoa...this is a great display. Where's the traffic jam? How awesome. I'm not that creative. The neighbor has a great sense of humor. Thanks for sharing, Tammy.

Tammy, some folks are really into their displays and quite good at making it the jewel of the neighborhood, while others are so clever.

Tammy, that sort of what is in my post. We went to the Greenbrier Resort for the Christmas tree lighting and on the way home we saw the home of the owner of the Greenbrier...all decorated to the hilt and the neighbor also has ditto sign. He has done this for the past 4-5 years.
