As far as running the show at Christmas I’m in the never power down camp. The pi, controllers and PSU’s are up and running the whole time.
Testing and trial runs, I pull the plugs.

All I have at the present is a k4-pb that has a 32gb mini sd card
Long time before I'm there. All I have is a k4-pb with 32gb micro sd card. Now when I'm just learning, I power down card then shut off psu. I will probably go that route and leave it all on. Only doing roof line and two 7ft candy canes. Do you do audio as well?
I do audio. I use the 3.5 jack to my fm transmitter

Awesome thanks Spankyty!
Actually one more thought, if I'm using the K8 FPP for my scheduler and I shutdown the BB I'll lose my show timing right? I'd have boot it back up again before showtime each day?
Two things. You can get extenders for your wifi to help cover your garage. But if you are thinking about using wifi for your show network (more than sync packets), you will want to invest in a dedicated show access point that is not "on your home network". Basically a different SSID and choose the best channel for your outside environment. That you could wire back to your main router and use that to communicate from inside to outside.
