I noticed that Devon already has it's decorations and lights up.

I believe Automobile Alley is getting very close... Will Chesapeake still do a big display (it will almost certainly be somewhat scaled back)?

I also saw that the Myriad Gardens plans to up it's game this season.


And I believe Devon is planning to do some special holiday effects with it's building LED's.


Post photos here!

I'm post my photos when I get my decorations up the weekend of Thanksgiving.

I'll probably grab a few shots from here in Edmond. They get pretty schmancy during the holidays.

Alright, I've noticed that they already have a nice display up at Spring Creek Shopping Center (15th & Bryant), so I went and snapped a few pics. They aren't all that great, but at least this gets the ball rolling.

(It actually looked nicer than that -- I need to work on my nighttime photo shooting technique)

Who wants to bet that the Devon tower does a candy cane pattern on the building?

I put mine up over the weekend while it was nice..... Mine aren't quite as impressive though.

I've seen the Total Environment crews installing CHK's lights, so I assume it's a go again this year.

Only a partial go. I was told by someone in the know, that CHK mgmt. had scaled back the lights by about half. I was also told about 6 weeks ago, that the contract with Total Environment only covered putting up the lights, not taking them down. That would seem to indicate CHK will be seeking a new scaled back version of landscape maintenance come January 1. I'm not sure of that's the case today or not. The end result would be not near as many flowers as in the past, less lights, less overall beautification as a whole. I suppose time will tell......

Last year, Chesapeake greatly expanded the lights into NH Plaza, Classen Curve and areas well beyond their campus.

Wouldn't be surprised if they just focused on the campus itself, which is still plenty big.

Kind of cheating a bit with this post since it's not Christmas lights, but... it's still part of the holiday fun and festivities.

Cool shot of the massive slide for snow tubing in the ballpark:

This house is making the rounds on twitter. It's become the house to see in Nichols Hills.

Aubrey McClendon's house does not disappoint either.

When I drove by, I only saw lights on the trees near the streets and none on the interior trees like in years past. That may be part of it.

Downs Family Christmas (http://downsfamilychristmas.com/) will be featured on 'The Great Christmas Light Fight' on ABC. Great exposure for them! Their episode will air on the 23rd.

I think this whole building can pretty much be considered as a Christmas ornament, right? :wink:

Just out of curiosity, how much does something like Chesapeake's light set-up cost?
