We are located in Langley British Columbia Canada , we are called the land of Christmas which started the lights years ago and keep changing every year.  All our proceeds go to help save the animals and keep them safe and fed.  (Prevention to cruelty against animals)

This is our first year animating.  We have about 7000 lights (as of 11/20/2007) and are still growing every night.  I use LOR's 16 channel controller and have about 30 songs.

Thanks,

I am Garrett Kristy and I am 15. I live in Macomb, Michigan. I do this by myself every year. These pictures are this year before I added  more lights and have used the Mr. Christmas lights and sounds of Christmas.

This is our 5th year of Christmas lights and after attending the PLUS 2007, we got many ideas to make our display bigger and better this year. We added lights to our roof line, LED lights to the back fence and around the yard, penguin displays and the Mega Tree with LED lights. We have been animating a few lights for a couple of years but this year we bought a FM transmitter and have synchronized the lights in the back to music. We have 64 LOR channels. Visit our website for more photos at www.vanekchristmas.com.  Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!  Jeremy & Melissa Vanek, Omaha, Nebraska

Bet you don't see anything like this too often.   

200 multi mini lights along the sides and rear, 50 multi minis in the rear window and 60 LEDs around the roof inside. 

It turns heads!

This is a show I did in a private RV park for our annual Christmas in Aug. I have 12,000 lights on 48 channels of LOR... It can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ts-zNkBrXs

Merry Christmas from the Macey’s in Clearwater, Florida 2007. 

Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas Chuck!  I just wanted to send to you my submission for the 2007 Showing Off page. Here's our display for 2007 with 30,000 lights in Milford Connecticut.   You can see more of our display at www.thathouseinmilford.com.  I finally found siding clips to get the lights attached to the siding of the house and added an additional tree.  You can't see it from this picture, but I have three arches in the driveway with over 3,000 lights.  Check out my site: www.thathouseinmilford.com.  Christopher Donnells

Hi Chuck.  For years I have thought about sending a photo or something. Unfortunately, I am computer stupid and always mess it up, so, if you got this, enjoy.  We have been at this for 18 years at this level and will continue as is. I know I can't go computer controlled.  We use a lot of chasing lights, so a photo does it no justice. I take MPEGs every year to music so that everyone that is far away can enjoy it. I have it on disc and can send you a copy if you want it.  I invented, manufactured and have tried to place in stores our snowflake decoration. Of course, I can't compete with the big guys and have been limited to local sales.  If anyone who visits your site is interested in them, they can visit our homemade website at www.snowflakesinmotion.com. I sent an email to you last year noting that the address or link from Jeff Womack does not work. That may be because it is incorrect. It's snowflakes with an s.  If anyone that visits your site contacts me by email (jalordesign@anet.com) with their name and address and that they are a PlanetChristmas member and that they made a PayPal purchase of a case of 12, I will send them an extra snowflake as a thank you.

We’re newbies to this whole thing.  We’ve been purring up lights for 10 years or so…but never to this degree.  Last year we had icicle lights and some candles in the windows.  This year we have over 10,500 lights, animated with Mr. Christmas and broadcast with FM transmitter tuned to 87.7.  We’re waiting on one more addition for this year, a wire frame elf shooting presents from a cannon.  Next year we’re definitely going LOR or similar system.  Mr. Christmas is good training wheels, helps us work the bugs out of the system.  We’re also proud to be an official Toys-for-Tots drop off location this year.  We’ll try to get a video posted if we can figure out how to shoot it with both good audio and video.  Stop by to see us if you’re in our neck of the woods.  Andrena & Doug Wallace, Canton, OH 44721  Dswallace@neo.rr.com

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all....   We are Tom and Beth Ronketty from Marlton, NJ and we have been decorating for about 4 years now.  Each year we seem to grow out of control.  This year we are decorating with about 75,000 lights (10,000 of which are synchronized to music), 14 inflatables, animated animals, and a snow making snowman.  We even created a "21 tree salute to Christmas" with 21 mini trees synchronized to music.  Santa will be making appearances as well on a few weekends coming up in December.  This year we have teamed up with the Evesham Twp. (Marlton) Fire and Rescue to accept donations which will go toward purchasing food, warm clothing, and toys for the needy families and children in the local area.  Isn't that what the spirit of Christmas is all about?  We look forward to having you stop by and take in the lights and sounds of the holidays and hope you enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed putting it all together for everyone...  Tell us you saw it on PlanetChristmas!!   Happy Holidays to everyone... Tom and Beth

4800 LEDs, two deer (100 mini lights each), six little trees (100 mini lights each), one big tree (600 mini lights) for a total of 6200 lights synchronized to music!

Welcome to Michael & Maryellen's Christmas house from Everett Mass.  Come with us and take a look around as people have already started to honk the horns and stopping to take a look and of course the true meaning of Christmas as the children's faces.  Light Up and Smile and go WOW . and last but not least the I'm not going.  I laugh at that one my self and that is the only thanks we need.  And the most important message is: Merry Christmas to Our Family's and to the Planet Christmas Members as if is wasn't for you people doing everything you do we wouldn't be able to do this. Thank you very much,  Mike & Maryellen mike_smith2277@yahoo.com

Hello.  Here is our 2007 Christmas Light Display located in a small town in Eastern Oregon.

The other side includes a 25ft Christmas train with motion lights.  You can view pictures and video at http://www.bowlercentral.com/christmas.htm  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  Matt

This is the Schrimp / Guerena Home on Via Cristal, in San Juan Capistrano, CA. This is our 12th year. Since everyone is computer controlling their lights, we like to be different. We still use over 15,000 lights, but we focus on animated displays. The Entire garage is a animated winter scene with mostly hand made figures. New this year is our 12 ft. Tall animated Ferris wheel. Tons of lights, animated figures around the yard, and a snow machine sure to put a smile on the faces of kids of all ages.  Thanks.  Wayne Schrimp, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675

This is our display for the year 2007. We have 30,807 lights hooked up to 48 channels of LOR and 4600 feet of extension cords (both bought and homemade). This display took a year of buying, building, planning and sequencing and 13 days to put up to come out just right to bring smiles to all who pass and it was ALL worth it. Next year we have at least another 12,200 lights planned on going up...but we still have 12 months to add to that ;) Enjoy and visit http://johnnychristmas.com to see more pics and videos of our display.

Leo Douillard's located at 793 Pinemont Ave, Port Coquitlam, is in my opinion one, of the best Christmas Light Displays ever because it is done with so much love and puts smiles on the faces of everyone who has the opportunity to visit of course I could be a bit bias because of the fact he's my dad (& the best one at that!).  This Display of aprox 50,000 lights along with the many inflatables, characters & interactive things for children to play with, is done by one man with one of the biggest hearts ever!!! We love him so much and are thankful that he takes the time (about 110 hours to set up the display, not to mention the hours & hours it takes to check each string before set up) to make this display each and every year a bit more spectacular than the one before.   Our family has had so much fun over the past years being involved in, what is now known as, the Annual Santa Picture & Hot Chocolate Nite.  This year Santa is coming on Saturday, December 15th from 7-10pm,  please join us & get a free picture with Santa and enjoy a complimentary Hot Chocolate.  Please visit his website at www.piczo.com\xmasguyshouse. Lights on 5pm-10pm nightly.  All donations to the Children's Hospital.  Thank you.  Sincerely Proud to be the XMas Guys Daughter,  Carol. 

Xavierlights which is located in Sherman IL is home to over 80,000 lights this year and 100 strobe lights.  Add 32 more channels of LOR, given me a total of 80 with 48 extra in reserve.  They are several new items for 2007 including a 33 foot Mega Tree with the local school colors (Purple and Gold). More reindeer for Santa team and the house of the Penguins.  Check it all out at www.xavierlights.com/ to see the full view of the display which is too big to capture in one picture.  Happy Holidays from the Loftus Family. 

This is my 5th year of lighting up the block. I have really enjoyed spending weekend after weekend putting up lights. This year we are pushing 16,000 lights with more to come in 2008.  Hoppe Holidays

To balance the yard, we put 5 11' mini-trees on the opposite side, each with 14 channels. The yard has 153 rows of lights, divided into 51 channels each of Clear and Multi lights. We've also got the dogs out for "Yellow Snow" and plenty of deer for "Rudolph". The total is 140,000+ lights and 368 channels.

For Rusty...  This year our lights are dedicated to the loving memory of our son Russell "Rusty" Creepingbear who lost his long battle with cancer on October 29, 2007. Although was only 29 years old, through out his long battle with cancer he always showed courage, determination, perseverance, dedication, and a strong will to survive. Christmas was Rusty's favorite time of the year, he always loved helping put up all of our lights. He was greatly missed this year and will be greatly missed in the years to come. We love you and miss you.  James & Camille Wagoner,  Edgewater, Florida, www.jamiejames316.com

Thanks to yours and STEVES's help we have a GE lights and sounds of Christmas on the pontoon boat.  We made a Ginger Bread House on the 16' boat.  It took 270' of 3/4" PVC pipe to make the frame that sits on the rails. There are over 3,500 lights using 6 channels of sound, powered by a 3,500 Watt generator.  The children will be dressed as Elves this year.  Sshort

This year is bigger than last year. I went with a Candyland / Gingerbread house theme for Christmas.  All the candy canes and lollipops were made by me. There are 7,500 lights on the house this year. We hope you enjoy it.  Anthony.  Charlotte, NC

Merry Christmas from the McKinneys in Plymouth, Indiana!

This is our 5th year at 7453 Mitchell Drive in Rohnert Park, California. Last year our house was featured on HGTV's "What's with that Christmas House?". We have choreographed the entire yard display in synchronization with the music playing both through outdoor speakers and on a FM transmitter channel. For more information on our display and how to create your own, come visit us at www.smithchristmas.com! Thanks Planet Christmas for all the support! Curtis and Brenda Smith

We are finally out of room! Our house reached the maximum number of lights that can be put on it, as always I will continue to add more until Christmas! It can now be officially called the "Clark Griswold Residence." Every inch of everything is covered in lights, front and back yard. It is a must see this year! Other than adding more light, I spend hundreds of hours synchronizing the roof and front bushes, to music, on the computer. Our new electric panel, installed for last year's display, is already maxed out! I'm afraid to turn on more than one appliance at once. I put up everything, shown in the picture, by myself. (I’ve been decoration my home since I was about 5 years old; I am currently 17.)   We are located at 947 Saxonburg Boulevard, about a block from Shaler Plaza, on Route 8, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The show runs from 6PM - 11PM daily.   Bill Hart. 

This is my first year for animated lights. I have 40 LOR channels and just over 13,000 lights. My official light-up night was Nov. 24th and had quite a gathering of people for my opening night and many, many compliments. I don't have video's yet, but I do have some pictures on my website www.madtownlights.com . I am really pleased with the way my display turned out and I couldn't have accomplished it, if it weren't for the wonderful people at PC.  ~Merry Christmas Everyone~  Jeff Phillips  Madison, OH 

Dominique Ketner Queen Creek, AZ Over 16,000 lights!

Our second year with animated lighting using Light-O-Rama equipment, we have 112 channels this year.  The Brown Family Christmas Light Display is located just east of Charlotte, NC, and can be seen at www.lakeparklights.com.  We are the only animated light display (that we are aware of) in the Charlotte area, and are located about 30 miles from McAdenville, NC, which is better known as ChristmasTown USA.  Our show is 20 minutes long and runs each half hour from 6PM to 9PM.  Merry Christmas!

This year we have gone moderately low-key, as we are going for the full animated effect next year. There is a mere 1,500 lights this year, but probably 10 times that next year. 

Michael, Linda and Craig Woolgar

Thanks,
Brad

This was my first year decorating the Santa Bus. Of coarse we used Light-o-Rama the lights dance to music which we blasted out the doors. We have been in two parades so far this year. One more to go...very popular with the kids and adults alike.

It's not really the number of Christmas lights you have ...But what do with them that counts.

Joyce Family Christmas Display, Gloucester, VA. 23061.     We started putting up our Christmas lights on October 8^th and finished on November 21^st.  During this time frame we worked every night with help from family and friends.  On thanksgiving we had our family grand illumination, which included fireworks and about one hundred family members, friends, and neighbors.   Our display has become a community symbol for the holidays. We have roughly 200,000 lights, 42 inflatables, and over 100 yard sculptures. We power this display with 31 dedicated 20 amp circuits which is trenched throughout the yard.   We have added another 200 amp service to our home which powers the 3,500 feet of underground power cable. Our local radio station helps promote our display and food drives.   We collect for our local church pantries, Salvation Army, and animal shelter.  Last year we collected and distributed over three tons of food and animal supplies.   This year our goal is to reach at least four tons or more.

Whole house decorated (Walls and trees fade between two different themes). I even have Christmas lights inside the fridge. No official count done yet as I’m still adding more. Merry Christmas too all!

Here is our contribution of our light decorations for 2007, This is now the second time we submitted our house to planet Christmas, I really enjoy putting up the display and love the reaction I get from people passing by. I wish some of my displays showed up a bit better like my home made nativity set I make out of limbs and hay I get from the woods behind the house. If you look close you can see the cross behind Joseph and Mary and red lights under Jesus' crib. As usual we added more stuff again, namely a blow up carousel and a cool penguin you can see on the porch. BTW can you believe all these lights are reliably running on 35 amps, Not too bad at 4200 watts, It seems like a lot more than that. Anyway Merry Christmas to all! Martin & Cindy in Bayport NY

Greetings from Battle Ground, IN.   Almost 58,000 lights controlled by 136 Light-O-Rama channels.   New this year are 14 more mini-trees, seven shooting stars, four pairs of wireframe bells on the house, and a 25' diameter (40 foot arc) 28 channel leaping arch.  Our show consists of six songs and last about 20 minutes.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  The Hoover Family.

This is our second year with an animated display.  Since last year, we added another controller (at 96 channels now) and started changing out a lot of the mini’s strings of lights to LED to stop the inside lights from flickering during most of the songs J   We have 25,000 lights animated to 15 songs.  Our house is located in Kenosha Wisconsin.  Here are some links to our new animations.  Rolly Polly the Polar Bear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0mleWGdNQ8.  Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlTdlvjs3uk.  Mele Kalikimaka: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W5lWLkdhtQ.  Wizzards in Winter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liZ3C119IAo.  Sleigh Ride: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0D1fUhFLCU.  Christmas Eve in Sarajevo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHwiX-fBajw.  Merry Christmas, James & Carri Kiehl.

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 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! 

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.

Happy Holidays from Scott & Sheri Barclay in Montville CT.  Sorry, we couldn't get everything in one picture.  The house has over 2,000 lights (and growing every year) along with our blowups and cast of characters..  Ho Ho Ho

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

Merry Christmas, The Rogers family from Slapout Alabama.

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.

Merry Christmas from Bill, Penny and James!

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! 

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

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
