We are! We haven't invested in the LED's yet. I will once some of these we have start to go out.

We like to light our soon after Thanksgiving as well. We have hung them prior if the weather is nice, but just don't turn them on. Ours will be on a timer, so they turn on and off automatically.

We have three strings that go across the front of the house, several strings to light our three bushes and another set for our railing. We use white lights only.

I have a fairly big oak tree I like to light up too - it's about 20 ft high. Not quite sure how to do it.

They make tools for stringing lights up in high places. You might check those out.

The best part of Christmas is decorating the house inside out with lights.

I love it...

DH got our lights up yesterday. We still have the single-strand mini-bulbs, and don't do all that many lights. DH went out and looked at LEDs, but I've got a real thing about the lights that sparkle in the different patterns (running, twinkling, fading, etc.). He found that those were not available in the mini-bulbs- at least not at our local stores. Fortunately ours are still in pretty good shape.

I was surprised at how well lights were selling this year. It looked like the stores were probably going to be pretty well stripped by Saturday night.

We got our outside lights, lighted deer and snowman out before thanksgiving. They look really nice!

we have a golf cart and my honey strung battery powered lights and garland around the top. Priceless!
