Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Can anyone confirm that the Christmas decorations went up at the Fort yesterday evening? If so, that is a lot earlier than some years. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pezheadval 32 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Can anyone confirm that the Christmas decorations went up at the Fort yesterday evening? If so, that is a lot earlier than some years. TCD We were trying to go to sleep last night and kept hearing noises like a loud diesel truck near by (we are in 114). My husband started thinking it was someone struggling to back into a site or our AC unit malfunctioning or something. So at 2am he decided to go outside and see what was going on. He said they were putting up Christmas decorations at the Settlement. They had a couple cranes out there and the big tree was up and lit. They were putting up garland on he store when he was looking. We haven't wandered out of the RV yet, but I'll snap some pics when I do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't wait to see the decorations in person. Please post photos if you can. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And yes, thanks to TCD giving us a heads up, we sat in our GC and watched them put the tree up late one night a few years ago. The tree comes in in sections that they stack one upon the next. I'm still amazed at how quickly it all goes up - literally overnight! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Memphis 105 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Looks good, they seem to be putting them up earlier every year. Used to be the day after Thanksgiving. But that's fine with me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Mine are up at home and lit up for all to see. We are those people. They were up on November 1st and we started turning them on about the 7th or 8th. A week after Halloween is fair game! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks for the additional photos, Val! I wonder if you get a prize for letting the Fort management know "there's a light that won't light on one side" :grinch: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
