Ho! Ho! Ho!  This year's 2011 Christmas Lights Show will feature 812 channels of dancing LED lights choreographed to 18 songs.  More than 100,000 glimmering lights adorn our festive light display. The three large trees in front of our home are each decorated with over 3 miles of lights on each, and the largest tree is wrapped in an amazing 4 1/2 miles of lights.   You can even send a fun holiday text message to our guests that will appear on both in this website and on a 6 foot LED screen right in front of our light show.  All of our Christmas Lights come from Costco. They are 100% LED lights that use far less energy than standard light bulbs. In fact we use only about $125 of energy total for the duration of our show.

We invite you to join us each night not only for the outdoor light show, but welcome guests into our home to view a Christmas Village Wonderland!   Michelle has spent hundreds of hours to hand sculpt the giant snowy mountains of the Christmas towns.  She begins preparing the displays in August and works to keep every elf dancing and every light twinkling in each village through to the end of the holiday season. The largest village is the North Pole featuring over 100 animated Department 56 houses, towering snow peaks, and even a waterfall.  There is also a classic Bavarian style Christmas village also feature Department 56 house, a village dedicated to all things Disney, one for The Grinch, another featuring Charlie Brown, Rudolph and even a Christmas Carnival Boardwalk village. It is really a site to behold!

The tradition of Christmas Lights dates back to the middle of the 17^th century in Germany.  Over the next two centuries the magic of Christmas Lights spread through Eastern Europe then to the rest of the world.  Candles were originally used, followed by lanterns and then on to electricity.  In 1882 Edward Johnson lit a Christmas tree in New York City by creating the first string of electric Christmas Lights.  In Just 20 years department stores began using Christmas Lights for their holiday displays.

Home Christmas Light Shows were inspired by Carson Williams house in the mid 2000s.  His cutting edge display garnered the attention of national media and was used in a Miller beer television commercial.  Thanks Carson for your vision. 

Michelle and I launched our display in 2009 and have been growing it each year since.  Hope you’ll join us!

Our 2011 decorations are in the works.  We'll have a special one Halloween Lights Show set to spooky music on Halloween night, please join us from 6pm – 10pm.  The 2011 Christmas Lights Spectacular will launch on Thankgiving Night and run through New Years.

This is a terrific song for our Christmas Lights Show.  It is by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and goes very well with dancing christmas lights.

In my humble opinion the is the Best Christmas Lights Show song with our display.  Watch as the battle begins about half way through and the storm troopers march!

While Sanstorm isn't a typical Christmas song, I added it to our Christmas Lights Show becuase it is just so cool!!!

I used to listen to this song called Snoopy's Christmas by the RoyalGaurdmen.  Last year I added it to our Christmas Lights Show.  It's a lot of fun and you can even see Snoopy and the Red Barron chasing each other!
