Here is my yearly obsession. Each year I just seem to add more and more lights. This year I also had to add a few new fuses in to my fuse box and with that 8 new plugs in the garage, all on one switch, for lights. I have about 5000 this year. Would be a lot more, but my house and yard are just not that big. I spent well over 40 hours on the lights this year and started the day after Halloween. The most time consuming part was adding all the candy canes around the yard.The most complex part was putting lights on my garage door and keeping the cords out of the way when the door opens and closes.
