LOL.

All I could think whenever I had stopped staring and laughing was...The woman in that house obviously needs to add more to the honeydew list because some silly man in some unfortunate suburban neighborhood in America has WAY too much time on his hands.

I seriously hope he plays that song as loud as possible outside his house nightly and runs his lights.

That is what you call creativity. I only wish I had that kind of free time.

That ranks up there among the coolest things I will ever associate with Christmas. Way WAY above Baby Jesus.

I was fully expecting his house to just lift off toward space at the end.

The peace sign was pretty neat.

That was a crazy cool clip.

The only way it could be crazier is if it was a kid on a DDR pad controlling the lights.

There's a guy in my area that does something very similar to that EVERY YEAR. Each year he changes the setup too and puts out different designs/themes. He also hosts a HUGE Christmas party at his house that generally lasts for a good non stop 48 hours. His house is so bright that he doesn't give out his actual address. He just gives the name of his subdivision and tells people "You'll see my house, trust me". It's a beacon of light that you can see from miles away.

Out in front of his house was a sign with a radio statio, Tune to it, it had christmas music and the lights would go along to it, pretty cool.

FM transmitter or was he psychic and knew another station's music?

Because FM transmitters are awesome.

Neat, but if I was his neighbor and he did that on any regular basis, I'd have to kill him.

That is, by far, the best display of lights and music I have ever seen. That guy should get a prize!

I thought it was pretty cool but I think some of the effects are fake. Look closely at that peace sign, it doesn't look right if you slow the video down or look at individual frames.

Was reading fox news and saw this:

It's the Griswold Family Christmas

MASON, Ohio (AP) — During the holidays, some people are content to deck their homes with evergreen wreaths and holly and maybe a few strings of lights made to look like glimmering icicles.

But not Carson Williams.

He spends nearly two months hooking up 25,000 lights, then he programs them to dance to Christmas music.

Hundreds of cars drive by his house north of Cincinnati every night to see the display, which also is posted on the Internet.

"So far, everyone's been really courteous," Williams said on NBC's "Today" show Monday. "I told the neighbors, I told the sheriff, if they get any complaints, I'll shut it down, because the neighbors are more important to me than the Christmas lights."

This is the third year Williams has assembled the display, which grows every year. He often stays outside for hours, chatting with visitors and directing traffic.

"We've had no problems," said Dave Hare, who lives across the street.

But the first year, it took some explaining.

"We called it the psycho house," said Hare's wife, Michelle. "It was just weird random flashes."

The display runs from the day after Thanksgiving until Jan. 1.

Oh fucking boohoo. People could've at least died before it had to be shut down.

I can't believe he spent 10k on Christmas lights.

:/ That kinda sucks. Guy put a ton of work and effort into that, and because other people can not drive responsibly he has to shut it down.

Oh well.
