Christmas Lights

Every year there are more and more videos of people who have decorated their houses and yards with light that are synchronized to music. I think my all time favourite is the one played to that TransSiberian Orchestra tune, but I've put that up here in the past, so this year, I've found a new one that I like.




When I watched this on youtube, I read the comments below and discovered that this person's neighbours called the police about the increased traffic in the area. He now does a display elsewhere (not at his house - he lives somewhere in Utah). I can't imagine people being that curmudgeonly that they would begrudge a little Christmas spirit. It is for a short period of time each year, and it's something that gives people a little bit of joy.

So, in keeping the peace in my neighbourhood (I don't think this kind of thing goes over too well in an apartment building), I have put up the video for your hassle-free enjoyment.

Merry Christmas to one and all!

  1. Very nice, very nice indeed. The only sound "our" display makes is Martha cussing when she has to change a bulb, and the neighbors are used to that.

  3. one year I went a little nutty with a ton of lights/etc in our front yard. Nothing like this, but it was BRIGHT and the neighbors loved it. (no music.) Why did I stop? We got the electric bill about a month later. YIKES!!! and... it was no fun taking it all down, so now I enjoy the hard work and expense of others. Thank you for the video and Merry Christmas!

  6. I know the guys who started the Christmas lights on 37th Street in Austin. Almost every house is decorated and there are lights strung house-to-house to tie it all together.

    There are lots of videos on YouTube: search for "37th Street Lights."
