Hi everyone.  This is my second year decorating.  As each year gets bigger and bigger.  There is all sorts of things that the picture doesn't show, but you all know how that works.  One thing to point out is the new runway for Santa.  Too bad you cant see it flashing.  I have close to 20,000 lights so far and many more are stored in the shed ready for more planning next year.  Hope yawl enjoy.  The Adams Family.  Clayton, North Carolina

Merry Christmas to everyone. This is my 8th year stringing Christmas lights. I took 30 pictures or so and couldn't seem to get the whole house and both yards all in one picture. I really wish I could show you my display with audio and video to see the whole show but I guess you will have to drive by and check it out. We are on the corner of 8th and Ford in Barberton. There are 22,681 Computer Controlled Lights, 92 Independent Channels, 82.77 Amps. That come on at 5:30pm and shut off at 9pm (Sometimes Earlier Sometimes Later). I'm already planning new ideas for next year.

103

Merry Christmas from Pennsylvania!!   

Here is our family's home for the 2007 Christmas Season.  Every year I add more lights.  This year I purchased Mr. Christmas' 'The Lights and Sounds of Christmas' for the two reindeer and four trees in the front.  It is a completely self-contained unit with six channels and 40 songs.  While it is not a mega-channel LOR or D-Light product, it still produces a nice effect.  The neighbors loved it at our 'Turning on the Lights' party on December 1.  I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year! 

104

After putting up my modest 6,500 bulb display, I am ready for more! Thanks for your advice, help and PLUS this year (I attended). All the best to you and yours.

Hello, 

I have a small yard but I still was able to decorate almost all of the trees in my front yard tastefully. I hope you like.

This is our second year submitting our home to this site. We have added a few more lights and displays this year. Unfortunately we can not fit the entire yard and house in the picture so half of it will have to do. We have seen so many good ideas on this site and are hoping to be able to use a few next year. Happy Holidays to all. The Plymel Family. Mentor on the Lake, Ohio

It's a tradition at the Renczkowski house at 232 Bolton Station Road in Lancaster, Mass. to get a little crazy during Christmas. We start early, the day after Halloween, by taking all the decorations down from the attic, in an assembly line of course, until we pack a number of rooms - the spare bedroom and living room with boxes and plastic figurines. My father Gary and brother Mark start decorating the outside of the home and my mother Debbie and I decorate the inside. On Thanksgiving night we light up the house, officially. Usually the neighbors stand by or are already there, helping to stand up the 14 foot soldier at his post, in front of our home.  My dad's known as Mr. Christmas and is always outside the house, fixing a light bulb or making adjustments to the flying reindeer and other decorations. Usually he shocks himself in the process... it doesn't help standing on a metal ladder. He buys massive amounts of candy canes and hands them out to little kids outside. When it snows he clears a path in the lawn for people to walk through, because we're always getting people posing for photos on the front lawn. It's a fun time during the year and my family looks forward to it. It's nice to see the smiles on little kid's faces as they wave out the car window. Thank you for letting me share my family's story.  -Amy Renczkowski, Groton, CT  (formerly of Lancaster, Mass)

Our home is located in beautiful Pawleys Island, SC. This is our 4th year year in this house for Christmas and our third year decorating. We have a total of 18,000 lights. All four sides of our house are lit up. Since we live on a lake, the lights really glisten off the water when looking at the back from the other side. Key features include our two 6 foot soldiers guarding the front porch and a 6 1/2' Santa watching the neighbors in the front window. Christmas music plays outside each night for passersby. Inside, we have a 10' tree and seven mini trees throughout the house. Our pride and joy is our replica of the Advent House from the movie Christmas Vacation, which I have built from scratch. I have finally finished it this year. Here's a link to our all new website: www.ChristmasinPawleys.com. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to All.

Here we go again with our 2007 installment of the Hollar festival of lights.  We have enjoyed displaying and viewing lights for the Christmas Holiday for several years.  This will be our 4th year living in our current house.  Our development has a contest every year and so far we have two 1st place and one 2nd place finishes.  (we placed 2nd our first year and 1st the last two)  Not that we do it for the contest but it's fun to brag all year long.  This year we are burning approx. 14000 lights.  Our children really love this time of year.  So with that, we want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Be Safe!!  Brad, Stacy, Rylie and Evan Hollar,  Morgantown, WV  USA

Hi, my name is Dominic Moretti and I'm 16 years old.  This is my home in Illinois decorated for Christmas. I have been doing this since I was about six. I usually begin to plan in about July, and begin set up November first. I have acquired everything in the yard through buying it myself, or presents from everyone in my family. I really enjoy doing this, and hearing about how much people enjoy it and I plan to continue with it for many Christmas' to come. Also, I would like to dedicate my display this year to my amazing grandpa who will be spending Christmas in Heaven this year. Merry Christmas to everyone, and remember to keep in mind who this season's all about.

This year didn't turn out the way I pictured.  Everyone bragged, i guess it looks better in person.  But I'm rest assured (though, last year I failed big-time to make it on the ugly Christmas lights lists...  :D)  My only excuse is that I'm legally blind.  :D  But everyone is enjoying it.   I'm rather shocked overall by the appearance,  in some aspect.   

Merry Christmas! 

131

Happy Holiday's from the Flowers family in Rochester, Michigan. This years display features about 100,000 lights that are pulling 450 Amps of power.  That's down about 150 Amps from last year. Those LED lights really do make a difference.  About half of our display is now LED.  Those 450 Amps were spread across 38 20-Amp breakers. Next year I hope to convert the 8,000+ Icicle lights to LED as well. This year we started putting out the display on Sept 15 and were to ready to light until Dec 2nd.  There just aren't enough hours in a day ! Cheers....Norm Flowers

Oxnard’s historic 97 year old bandstand comes to life this holiday season in a high tech way. Decorated with over 27,000 multicolored lights a computer programmed music and light show will entertain crowds every evening throughout December from 5-10 PM.  “These types of high tech lighting displays are becoming more popular with homeowners. Websites such as Planetchristmas.com are dedicated to show you how to outdo your neighbor’s Christmas display. Few if any local civic displays have come up with this level said Oxnard resident Gary Blum who spearheaded designing the exhibit with a 6 member crew and assistance with funding from downtown merchants.  The City owned bandstand is known as the Pagoda locally because of its Craftsman/Asian design popular in 1910 when it was built in Plaza Park at Fifth & “C “ Streets in the town square.  Nine different Christmas songs pulse with over 27,000 lights, 22 Christmas trees, 12 animated characters and with some extra lighting effects that most homeowners would dream of being able to incorporate into their displays including fiber optic, LED floodlights and strobe special effects.  Oxnard is already home to Christmas Tree Lane, Ventura County’s largest Christmas display just a few blocks away where nearly 140 homes on ‘F’ & ‘G’ streets in the city’s historic district were turned on Dec 9th. “You can’t help but get in the holiday mood when you come to Downtown Oxnard” said Blum.  Blum said he received several calls from shopping malls as far away as Oregon that wanted to contract with him to come up with displays to attract customers. “The display we did in 2006 was the first we had done but it was very popular giving the reviving downtown a Disneyesque attraction during the holidays.  The show is sponsored by the Oxnard Downtown Management District with support from the City of Oxnard’s Parks Department.

We did the same thing as last year pretty much, and had just a couple of additions that we are happy with.  A GIANT wreath that I hand wrapped which sits over the garage doors, and during the summer, someone around the corner was throwing out a wire frame Santa Claus that was wrapped with white lights..... I stripped all the lights and tie wrapped new lights onto the frame with the correct color bulbs and we are very happy with the way it came out.  What a find!  Hopefully next year we can add a couple of more things.  Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Merry Christmas from the Whittemores in Wilmington, NC!
This year we've added a landing strip for Santa's sleigh, two dozen lighted candy canes, and a "fence" around the front yard.  Over 11,000 lights burning, and hanging more every week.  It never ends!  We took a cue from a few members and are collecting toys for the Salvation army this year.  So far the response has been good.  I've had to take the barrel in once already and we still have a week to collect more.  The season to me is all about making it bright for others.  Thank you Chuck and PlanetChristmas for all you do! We'll see you next year with an even bigger display!

Some old stuff and some new lights outlining the house red and blue.  I am an newbie to this site it's true, I cant wait till next year with all your how to's to see what I can do.  Friends and Family think I am crazy seem I am in good company. I have lots of wire frames and blow molds next year we go for the mega tree and more channels.  Thanks PlanetChristmas.  They think I am crazy but they have loved every minute of this years adventure.  Neighbors are pretty cool about it too.

Happy Holidays from the Hayward’s in Joppa MD. We are located at 3008 West Franklinville Rd. 21085. This is our second time on PlanetChristmas.  We have about 30,000 lights, 4 blow ups, a projector image (lower left), (homemade items include) 8 single archways covering about 175’ of our 350’ driveway that you drive under to get up to the house, 2 sets of 7’ candy canes, 5 large Christmas trees and 6 small trees, a round archway on the back yard gate (to the left side of the house), a 9’ 6” Christmas star (top right) and 2–7’ snowmen and a 3’ 5 point star. Other items Santa snowboarding, 6 deer, and a glass case with animated Christmas figurines and much more.  It takes me about 3 weeks to complete and covers about an acre of my property. Power to supply this display is 1-30 amp 2-pole breaker, 7-20 amp breakers and 1-15 amp, with a lot of extension cords and electrical romex. As with most of us that light up the neighborhood we continue to add and change each year. Merry Christmas to all.  Thank you, Scott Hayward

Merry PlanetChristmas.  My 12-year-old elf and I put together a new display every year, with this year's theme as a football game between Santa's reindeer and the Snowmen, refereed by the Penguins. Not shown in the picture are additional items including flying reindeer & sleigh, tunnel of lights over driveway, and a small forest of spiral trees.  Nearing 30000 lights, this is our 9th year decorating with ~20% growth each year.  Sorry, Santa hasn't brought us computer synchronized lights & music yet... but maybe if we're good this year!  Happy Holidays to all.  The Lachendro Family from Cranberry Twp. PA
