If you're destroying Christmas, here's your yard decoration
My store has acrylic polar bears and various kinds of reindeer for outdoor display.

Get one reindeer and about six polar bears.

Lay the reindeer on its side. Then put the polar bears in a ring around the reindeer.

1. I was actually thinking about some of those LED strip 'meteor lights'.

saw them at the zoo last christmas, and they looked really neat. Unfortunately, they seem to be either REALLY expensive, or sorta really cheap - and I'm assuming the really cheap ones are shoddy as all get out.

4. Shop the sales right before or after Christmas.

Maybe you'll find a deal. A friend has lights all around their backyard and they were fancy LEDs they got for a steal right after the holiday.

2. I do traditional Christmas scenes in my yard

One thing I refuse to do is put Christmas decorations up before thanksgiving.
