Do you like christmas lights?

Are you one of those festive people who can spend hours outside on a cold day, frozen to a ladder and trying to find the freakin' burned out bulb while you can still feel what's left of your skin?

Do you feel an obligation to share your christmas spirit with your neighbors and the occasional low-flying jet?

Then this is the video for you:

Same house, different song. I don't want to know how long it took to program those lights for these different songs. Their neighbors must love them.

I like Christmas lights, but what you just posted is more akin to having the entire special effects library from Close Encounters of the Third Kind landing on your lawn and pooping its alien poop down the chimney.

YAY! :D

I can't stand people who put lights on thier houses (it's the perfectionist in me) either the lines aren't straight, or they blink off rythm (like one strand blinks then the other) or they replace a broken bulb with one not in pattern (or worse a different shade of the same color)

I can't go look at Christmas lights withough being critical, and it annoys my family.

I thought it was amusing. :D

xmas lights generally look cheap & tacky and i don't see the point, but when you go all out like that its just cool (seen original, can't see this new one with sound cos i'm at work :()

I'm annoyed just hearing about it. ;)

It's not Christmas without that. Much as I hate the song, this guy get's 0 respect for not having it on his flashing light thing.

The orignal is 352 times better.

I've always beel partial to Carol of The Bells. One of the best things to ever come out of russia. :)

Carol of the Bells is my favorite Christmas song, and it's probably because in highschool we got to sing it in 8 part harmony, that was soooo cool:D

I'm kinda assuming that whoever does this is a professional lighting designer, in which case it would be pretty easy...I would say with some of the newer software they've been putting out it might take an hour or less.
