Historical Christmas Lists: 2006 2005 2004 2003

Where it all started.....

Pimmit Road - Last appeared 2003
This is the display that started my Tacky Christmas Lights journey...

Each item in the yard was a home-made, painted wooden character or scene. Many were animated.
As the years went by he continue to add new items every year. Animated wooden display ceased when homeowner fell off roof putting up the helicopter. They have continued to decorates, using inflatables and stationary wire-frames.
In 2018 they did not decorate and there was a FOR SALE sign out front. (***sniff***)

Hi-Tech Transmissions, 8633 Lee Hwy, Fairfax, VA - Last appeared 2004


This business has been putting lighted figures on their roof for years but, discontinued in 2004.
They also have multicolored lights on a big pine tree 
The definition of tacky...I love it!!.

Lincolnshire, Annandale, VA
3912 (left) still decorates(#12). 3917 (right) last appeared 2004.
  

Another of my favorites...
Two houses directly across the street from each other try to outdo each other,
one with lights and the other with lighted figures...What a Sight!! 
Always makes me happy to see these.
