Louie Kinnaird can't tell you how long it takes him to put up his Christmas display, because when it comes to decorating for the holidays, he never really stops.
"You don't do it every day full-fledged," he explains. "But it's something that's constantly … you're looking for stuff, you're trying to figure out what to do bigger, better … I mean it just grows on you."
Grows until Kinnaird is using five miles of electrical cable and 78,000 lights a year.
In June, his wife, Donna, told him he was working on his decorations too soon. The week before Thanksgiving, she informed him he was running out of time.
