Some of your have seen them in person; for others, this is the best way I can share my Christmas lights with you this year. There are nearly 2,300 lights, choreographed to 20 Christmas songs, including Carol of the Bells by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Here’s a video, taken at night:

I think this was a good start, and with room for 5,000 more lights in the system, leaves me room to grow over the next couple of years. Here’s what you see in the video:

• Inflatable snowman to the left
• Inflatable Santa in the center
• Wreath up top, on the 2nd floor
• Icicle lights hanging down from the porch roof
• Net lights covering the porch railings
• 2 candy-cane lights at the base of the stairs
• Tree wraps, covering the porch posts
• Colored icicle lights and string lights around the front window

This entire system is controlled by the Mr. Christmas Lights and Sounds of Christmas and lots of extension cords. I had to re-record the audio so it sounds better than the original video (complete with car racing by). I’ll take photos and post to the gallery soon. Until then, enjoy the video, and stop by from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm to see the show (we’re only running at those times, to keep the neighbors from hating us too much)!
