Christmas light time, what are you all doing?

We’ve historically gone hard holiday decorations but our Christmas stuff is outdated here. Halloween usually takes the cake and we switched from laser to AI controls this year but didn’t really get much new stuff so this is Christmas’s year.
Christmas is all about lights and this is the year of WLED. Already modified the star to match the tree: twinklecat, colors only palette. Looks sick. About 600 ws2811 bullets.
How do we ditch the old stuff and do the yard? I bought 2000 fairy lights ws28015/18 and don’t know if I should wrap the big tree out front or Hollies at the corners. Also going to run WS2811 60/m strips along the roof line. Do I twinkle the whole thing or go more obnoxious?
Would a mix of LED and old school incandescent look weird?
Looking to get about 2k more lights every year and keep building.

So rotate between Christmas and Hanukkah? I’m down. Don’t see many people doing that. These are the ideas I’m here for.

Use the old shite till it dies.
Feels better trashing it.

Blue and silver/white is pretty easy to pull off. If you've got LED color shifts and rotations, that's cool. Hannukah starts Dec 5, so you have plenty of clearance before Christmas to change the colors. IMO, it's more defensible than putting up Christmas lighting before Thanksgiving.
Theoretically, every kid from Louisiana should love Hannukah, because almost everything is fried.
Have you thought about a lighting scheme set to music? Music like AC/DC, Iron Maiden, not Mariah Carey.
