Why We Are Already Thinking About Christmas Lights

September 16, 2026    Jeff K

Every year at this time, we start looking at the calendar differently.

The leaves haven’t started turning yet, but we’re already mapping routes, checking inventory, and thinking about which homes or commercial properties around Tulsa and Broken Arrow will light up first this November.

After more than 25 years of doing this, it’s a strange yet familiar rhythm: planning for holiday magic while the weather still feels like summer. It’s the only way to make everything unfold just right, instead of being rushed.

Like most years, a good portion of our Christmas lights schedule is already committed. Maybe you’ve considered joining them. It’s important to know this isn’t about being first.

The families reaching out now aren’t just booking a service. They’re giving us the runway to do our best work, and that’s what everybody wants.

Planning Is Everything

Early planning makes it possible to meet your highest expectations. This includes the best pricing for quality materials, scheduling that accommodates your calendar, and steady crews who aren’t racing to meet impossible deadlines.

It also gives us time to design thoughtfully, resisting the temptation to fall back on simplicity just for expediency.

That design work matters more than people expect. A great display isn’t about how many strands you can fit on a roofline, signature tree, or drift of evergreen shrubs. It’s about proportion, color temperature, and what excites the eye when someone pulls into their driveway at dusk.

We’d love for you to be part of that early group. Not because the clock is ticking in some dramatic way, but because we genuinely believe good outcomes come from good planning. We’d rather spend November perfecting your display than scrambling to fit you in before the weather puts us in a spot.

Over the years, this kind of planning has let us take on some genuinely ambitious projects. For more than 15 years, we’ve partnered with the Philbrook Museum of Art to create their annual holiday lights display, one of the most anticipated events of the season in the Tulsa area.

Building something at that scale, year after year, works only because planning starts long before Thanksgiving. The same principle applies whether we’re lighting a museum garden or a single front porch: the earlier the conversation starts, the more thoughtful the result.

Let’s Bring Our Visions Together

If you’ve been picturing what your home could look like this holiday season, now’s a great time to start that conversation with us. We’re happy to walk through ideas, timelines, and what’s possible for your property, whether that means a classic warm-white display along the roofline, motion effects, or a custom timer built to centralize control of everything.

We also handle the electrical side properly, with attention to wiring and amperage that a box-store timer and interconnected extension cords simply can’t match. This is especially true for elaborate displays and rainy weather, which can more easily trip circuit breakers.

LED installs help here too, giving you an elaborate look without overloading your circuits.

And because we know estimates can be one of the slower parts of getting started, we’ve made that step as easy as possible. If you can send us a photo of the front of your home, and it’s visible on Google Maps, we can often turn around an estimate the same day.

Every year, our favorite moment is the one a homeowner experiences when they flip the switch and step back to see their house lit up, some for the first time, and more than you might imagine for the 20th, 25th, or even the 30th time.

There’s something about that first look, whether it’s a brand-new display or a beloved tradition, that never gets old for us either.

We’d love to help create that moment for your family this year. The earlier we start talking, the better we can personalize your service to meet your needs, plan around your schedule, and make sure the crew showing up at your door isn’t rushing to squeeze you in before the first freeze.
