Title: Service for putting up Christmas decorations

Had no idea things like this existed until I saw one of my neighbors getting their lights "professionally" installed. Can't say I'm terribly surprised but still, of all the things to pay for, really?

From what I hear, it's a pretty good gig if you want some extra seasonal work. Same for the painters who do all the holiday murals on business windows. Good with money if you're the worker!

It's amazing how lazy people get with money and decorating for holidays in general...  We live in an area where there are a lot of people with "help" decorating.    And somehow, we ended up as the decorators of our neighborhood for decorations simply because it was almost February and no one in the HOA or in the neighborhood felt it necessary to put the Christmas garland and other decorations on the front (fairly pricey) subdivision entrance away.   It's always "someone else's job"...
