Usually the sketchy signs advertising this service pop up on telephone poles around Black Friday. Look for the ones posted next to the following:
"WORK FROM HOME! MAKE $2000 A WEEK!"
"MASSAGE"
"I BUY HOUSES-CASH-QUICK CLOSE"
I can't see how anyone could see themselves paying $1000 for someone to hang Christmas lights. Of course, I can't figure out why people pay other people to mow their lawns, rake their leaves, or change their oil either
I mowed my own lawn, and did all of my gardening work until this year because I really enjoyed it. Work just got too busy to do it during the week, and the 3 weekends a month I spend not working, are now taken up by my kids sports, birthday parties, etc. Last weekend I had three soccer games on Saturday and two soccer games plus a birthday party on Sunday, and that is pretty much going to be the way it is for the next 5-10 years of my life. I miss taking care of the yard, but with my schedule, finding time to fit it in would be more stressful than enjoyable now.

even if I had all the time in the world im not doing that stuff. we have these things called "undocumented immigrants" to handle that stuff. i like to enjoy myself when im not at work.
You skip right over Thanksgiving like it's friggin Flag Day or something! Thanksgiving should be every man's favorite holiday. You sound young so let me break it down for you:
- little to no decorating involved,
- you don't have to cook unless you like that sort of thing,
- one day you can eat & drink like a pig guilt-free,
- hours & hours of football on the teevee
Maybe you have to set up a few tables or folding chairs. Wash a dish or two to not look like a total freeloader. But that's it! Awesome holiday.
I LOVE Thanksgiving. But, I learned last year that if you try to schedule someone to do your lights after Thanksgiving, you get laughed at. Thats why I have my consult tomorrow. But I do agree, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday by far. We hosted it last year, about 15 people. Wife was 6 months pregnant so I had to help out alot, but didnt mind. Doing it again this year with 20 people and a 9 month old, so we shall see how it goes.

I agree, I hire people to cut the lawn, clean the gutters, clean the house, etc. I work hard Monday-Friday, I dont wanna deal with that crap when I'm home.
