I know someone around here who has 2 exterior receptacles wired to
interior ones, with the GFCI in the interior location. This makes it
easy to control holiday lights without having to go out in bad
weather.

Never thought of doing that. The outlet I put in the front of my house
is
controlled by an indoor switch for that reason.



Several houses ago, we had a house where recessed exterior cans were
installed under all the eaves, all controlled by one switch. We didn't
really use them often unless we were expecting company after dark, but they
fixtures did come in handy during the holidays. We used screw-in plug
adapters to power all of the house holiday lighting. One flip an
everything was on or off.
