Welcome to our website.
If you can't tell, we really enjoy Christmas, especially
decorating outside. This is our third year for synchronizing
the Christmas lights to 'dance' to Christmas songs.
I'd first like to thank my wife for tolerating this hobby.
I spend countless hours programming the music and then a solid
two weeks putting everything up followed by 1 month of
keeping it running and then a few days to take it all down.
Thanks honey!!!
The show has ended for the year. Thanks
to everyone
who stopped by to see the show live and everyone else
who just couldn't make the trip. Plans are underway for
the 2009 show. I bought some more lights, not sure quite
yet where they'll go. I have 4 songs picked out already
for next year, maybe a 5th or 6th selection will come to me.
For all the people who are concerned about the
electrical costs,
I photocopied my November and December electric bills.

The 2008 videos
have been posted. Warner Music Group
cannot reach an agreement with youtube, therefore, a majority
of my videos over the past three years have been removed
for copyright violation. I've uploaded all of the 2008
videos to Vimeo and will update the video page shortly.
The previous years videos will be posted on Vimeo also.
Our 2008 light count was 66,013.
I have 144 available channels but am currently using
120 of them for the light show on the house.
The show runs 5-10 (Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur)
and 5-11 (Fri and Sat).
We'd like to thank the people who left or sent us your
letters of appreciation. Your kind words certainly make it
worth the
time and effort to put up the display. You can now
click the
guestbook link to leave your comments.
Be sure to tune your radio to 107.1 FM to hear
the music.
I'm located in St. Charles county (Missouri) surrounded
by the cities of O'Fallon, Dardenne Prairie and Lake St. Louis.
I'm off Highway N right across from the Wehrenberg theater.

I will do my best to keep the website updated.
Browse the buttons to
the left for more information about the
display.
The
pictures page will show the lights from
various years
and the
projects that make doing the lights
easier.
The videos
page will have movies of the lights in action.
The
songs page has the
play list that I will be following this
year plus the times each
song
is expected to play.
If you are interested in doing this yourself then check out
the how
it's done. What's new will list
what has
changed
through the years and what is
coming next year. The facts page will give
all the boring details about the
display (how many different kinds of lights,
how many extension cords, etc). The links
page has lots of useful
links to sites that tell you where other Christmas displays are around
the country and links to my hardware, software, and lighting
suppliers.
I hope you have a chance to come on by
when the lights are on.
