    There's a bunch of Tongans that do it in my neighbourhood. They go door to door asking if anyone needs it to be done and if they do, they ask when and come back and do it.
    Everything is under the table.

    No we just do it ourselves. We don't put up too much on the outside of our house, and leave most of it up throughout the year so there isn't much to put up every year.

    Yeah, for the most part thats how I would be doing it, though I can offer a bit more than just the standard, throwing lights up on the house.

    haha, I have houses around my neighborhood like that :)

    Its actually quite a good quick small business for someone. 10 bucks per house... 10 houses a day... if it isn't to complex.... 100 bucks... good extra spending cash for Xmas... even if you do it on the weekend...

    You charge $10!?
    I think you may be undercharging a tad.... the average around here is $700, my Grandmother spent $1300 last year.

    I've never heard about this being a business before. How much do you charge if you do it?
