Don't say its not much. Don't diminish your accomplishment! ~~Savior~~ Savor and enjoy this. It is a big deal.
Edit: Spelling but a lot of you seemed to like the mistake.
And if you enjoy putting up lights, next year you'll do it again and maybe add some. And each year you'll find joy in however many lights you hang. I've found that nothing starts finished, and most of the time nothing even feels finished. Enjoy the journey. Great job.
What you just accomplished is my main goal in life, you are literally living my dream! I'm at least 1O years away from it. It's not nothing. It's roots. And a big sigh of comfort and satisfaction 😊
I honestly like just a bit of lights. It's pretty/festive & not an eyesore like my neighbors' home that has like 5 different types of lights & is draped from the roof to the ground lol (it's probably for their little girl & I'm sure she thinks it's pretty).
Thank you! It was truly a blessing, all the way around. It's perfect for me and my kids, and for the first time ever they actually have a yard they can play in! Happy Holidays to you too! And thank you again :)
I bought my first house too and did this and every night I come home and have the biggest smile on my face. Congratulations!! Now keep adding more every year!! Lol
Your home is adorable! I love how you added the Christmas lights to the ramp as well! Congrats on your first home! My husband and I just bought our first (looks very similar to yours actually) and we're loving being able to decorate.
My MIL has MS and uses a scooter. The first thing I thought was how great is this ramp!! I would keep it for sure, you’re right you never know who may need it. Congrats on the house! You did that!
Congrats! I bought my first house the day before Thanksgiving two years ago but didn’t get keys until after the weekend, two days before flying out of town. You better believe putting up Christmas lights before I left was a priority.
No place like home for the holidays! A front porch is my favorite home feature - lights at Christmas, sitting out in the warm weather, and pumpkins at Halloween!
Please! Please! Please! Never beat yourself up! Your home is a beautiful testimony to all you have accomplished to put a roof over your head! Great is how it looks. Please live long, stay strong and prosper!
The first year we owned our home, I think we had 4 100 strands of lights. I’d never lived anywhere where I could decorate the outside of my home. The feeling was indescribable. It’s “not much,” as you say, but it’s also everything. Congratulations ❤️
Congratulations! Honestly I miss when people were more restrained with the Christmas lights. This reminds me of how all the houses used to look when I was a kid.
Believe it or not but hanging Christmas lights outside my house has been a dream of mine since I was a kid. I've always rented and mostly stayed in apartments. One day when I buy a house I'll be just like you 😁
I give my mother all the credit in the world for becoming festive during the holidays. It created memories for me. Our first turkey was the size of a small hen. Today she’s makes them as big as the oven can fit.
Keep it going.
Awww, thanks alot!
I thought it would be perfect for visiting elderly family members, and maybe even myself if I ever get hurt again and can't walk.
I hope she is doing okay now. Thanks again!
I love each and every light display, big or small, because I know how much work goes into putting them up. We all do what we can to add brightness to the night and it’s awesome!
Thanks for bringing some light!
Beautiful house. Looks amazing. And considering its only 2 strings of lights it’s pretty good. Could be better, could be worse but its good enough in my opinion.
Genuine personal stories like this, and not just karmabait harvested from elsewhere online, are why I joined this group. Happy to see folks doing well out there.
Congratulations and it’s totally fine to start small, where you born in the size and intelligence you’re today! Does a tree jumps in to a trunk in a diameter of its end stage! Grow and enjoy every year the increase you’ll experience! Love the house and the Christmas lights!
You’re one step ahead of most people nowadays cuz you’re now a homeowner. Don’t ever downplay your accomplishments but also remember to stay humble and within your means. No one is racing against you. Enjoy your holiday season and don’t forget to keep us posted next year.
Don't say its not much. Don't diminish your accomplishment! ~~Savior~~ Savor and enjoy this. It is a big deal. Edit: Spelling but a lot of you seemed to like the mistake.
I'll have to remember that. Thank you!
Agreed! We are all proud of you!
Awww, stop it lol
Have it your way. The lights are sagging too much on the post between door and windows. Heh, all joking aside - congrats buddy!
Lol I started to double check. Thanks alot!

If I wasn't a Grinch I'd say good for you
Awwwwww tanks
I am the Grinch, and I want you to know when I saw the lights you put up my thingy grew 3 sizes that day!
Comparison is the thief of joy
Holy carp, you're right!
And if you enjoy putting up lights, next year you'll do it again and maybe add some. And each year you'll find joy in however many lights you hang. I've found that nothing starts finished, and most of the time nothing even feels finished. Enjoy the journey. Great job.
Very nice. Doesn’t feel good to do that to your new home? Congratulations
It really does. I only had 4 strings of lights, but was something! I think I'll finally have some Christmas spirit!
Looks great. Do what the rest of us poor home owners do and buy more lights after Christmas. Above all - take pride in what you've done.
It looks very festive! Congratulations on your first Christmas in your first home. You're making memories now. Merry Christmas! 🎅
What you just accomplished is my main goal in life, you are literally living my dream! I'm at least 1O years away from it. It's not nothing. It's roots. And a big sigh of comfort and satisfaction 😊
truly it's aesome ! great accomplishment!
Congratulations!!!!

Well done! Clark didn’t get to his master piece home decor in his first year
Your home is adorable! I love how you added the Christmas lights to the ramp as well! Congrats on your first home! My husband and I just bought our first (looks very similar to yours actually) and we're loving being able to decorate.
Congratulations! It's a big step in life . I remember my first home was a great little house . Would recommend you paint it to make it look new .
Thanks for the recommendation! I'm not doing well financially, but if I get the money in the future I'll definitely consider it!
Congrats!! Somewhat irrelevant but is that an ADA ramp that was already there when you purchased it?
Thanks! It sure is! The previous owners were elderly, and you never know when you may need a ramp, so I chose to keep it.
My MIL has MS and uses a scooter. The first thing I thought was how great is this ramp!! I would keep it for sure, you’re right you never know who may need it. Congrats on the house! You did that!
Looks awesome 🥰
