Default Decorating you Car for Christmas

I was just wondering, if anyone decorated their vehicles, for the holidays? I do not, but I have seen a few cars, that are decorated. What I see most often, are wreaths on the grill of the vehicle. This just seems silly to me. What do you think?

This seems to be a new fad I've seen that last couple of years. They actually are decorating their cars with Christmas lights. I've wondered if those are specially made for cars that they plug into the lighter outlet or if they are powered by regular batteries? I have seen the wreaths on the grill as well.

Um no and I'm never seen anyone put Christmas lights on their car. I think it's a silly idea too! I decorate my house and that is enough. How do the lights run? Are they hooked up to the battery?

I have seen an occasional wreath on a front bumper but personally I think it is silly. I would never do it to my car.

The most fancy my car gets around the holidays are those holiday Jack balls, and who can go wrong with Jack? Yes their food is loaded in grease but Jack is one funny character, isn't he?

They do in the city I live. they run the lights in their front windshield. I was wondering the same thing about how they are powered. I was just assuming it is some new lights specifically for the car lighter. It is silly to me as well.

I have seen wreaths and little signs or flags but that is about it so far. How can it be legal to put lights on your car though? I was pretty sure that it was illegal to do that. Even if it's legal it certainly is not a very good idea.

The best car decorating I've seen in recent years is a minivan that has a big red Rudolph nose over the hood ornament, and antlers attached to the top of both front doors. It was actually kind of cute and gave me a chuckle. Anything that gives me a chuckle when I'm stuck in traffic gets a plus one in my book!

I have to reply again - today I went to a tractor pulling club Christmas party. I saw 2 vehicles with antlers on them - not real deer antlers, but fake ones. I thought it was pretty corny!

Well, I saw my first car with lights on it. It was a big SUV with lights on the luggage rack on top. I guess they must have a battery pack attached to it? I'm not sure how it works.
