The Dallas news reported an ex-employee of the Christmas Light Company was shot to death by a current employee. Apparently, the ex-employee returned with a gun to settle a dispute and was shot to death by a current employee who also had a gun.
This company installs/removes Xmas lights. See http://thechristmaslightcompany.com This is a high-end company which provides, installs, removes, and stores the lights with a $500 minimum. They list phone numbers of (214) 515-XMAS (9627) and (214) 275-9627. Their Atlanta and Denver territories are available and they invite investments and business opportunities.
I don't know if this company is in any way associated with any of the several spammers who plaster the roadsides with "We Install/Remove Xmas Lights." The biggest multi-year offender uses a voicemail at 214-834-1414.

I think the Xmas Light installation guys that we see spamming out the utility poles are in some way tied in with the firewood vendors.
I don't know this for sure, but I saw a Xmas Light installation spam just this week that I believe had the same phone number as one of the firewood vendors in the same area.

We've seen the beginning of "we install xmas lites" spam here. Mostly around the major highway intersections. Looks like the latest spam scam is underway.
