Australia, This
is our display which received a highly commended award in our
local competition this year.
The display consists of 20,000 lights. Around 8500 of the lights
are hand painted with glass paints to create an artistic and
colourful display.
Our children love handing out Christmas lollies to all the
visitors that come around and really enjoy the atmosphere and

Hi Chuck, We’ve setup our first
synchronized light display. I say first because this year
we are using a 16-channel controller with a “monster brain” and
99% LED lights (some of the static items are non-LED).
Last year I used the GE Christmas-in-a-box. I’ve attached
a static picture and the video can be seen and downloaded at
http://topsailislandchristmas.topsail-online.com/index.php/christmas-2008/.
Many thanks and Merry Christmas! Glen Pierce,

Hello From the Schrimp / Guerena Family of San Juan Capistrano,
CA. This is our 14th year of decorating. We like to do things a
little different and do not like to have the same type of
decorations that you might see at another home, so we
custom build 80% of our decorations. We have over 25,000 lights,
falling snow, 3 dozen animated characters, a 10 ft. tall
drumming toy soldier, a 12 ft. tall Ferris wheel, and so much
more for all to enjoy. New to this years decorating is a laser
light show that runs all night. We hope everyone in the area can
come by to enjoy our contribution to the holiday spirit. 31142

Hi Chuck, Happy Holidays to you and your
family as well as everyone in the Planet Christmas World.
Here is a picture from my display this year. I had
thoughts of giving up on doing a display but I guess it just in
my blood. It is really fun to hear the children and their
parents comment on the lights. It gives you the warm
feeling inside. Have a safe and happy holiday season.

Hi Chuck, My name is
Wayne and I'm attaching a picture of our house, located in
Whiting, NJ, displaying our Christmas Light Show. This is
our second year and we have graduated from a 16 channel system
to a 32 channel system with approximately 10,000 colored/white
lights and two standing deer. We programmed our show with
four songs, one from Mannheim Steamroller and three from
Trans-Siberian Orchestra. My wife and I spent from October
to the middle of November stringing the lights and making the
necessary zip cords need to attach the various lights to the
controller boxes. All of our neighbors have been anxiously
awaiting the new show for this year, we've gotten quite a lot of
positive feed back and our dead-end street has seen more
activity since running the show!
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy and health
New Year from the Asonys!

Hi Chuck: This is Michael Wright in
Fayetteville. Wanted to say Merry Christmas and hope all
finds you and the family well. Also, My first cookbook AT
HOME WITH MICHAEL: MY MOST REQUESTED RECIPES came out
November 8 and it has exceeded our expectations. I was
wondering if you might say something about it in the
PlanetChristmas community. The book is now profitable and
I am now able to donate some of the proceeds to charity.
You my also review my website at
http://www.athomewtihmichael.com. That is where my
book may also be purchased. Hope we can work together as I
will add a link for PlanetChristmas to my website. Merry
Christmas, Michael

Hello from the yard of Alfred and Cheryl von
Hollen in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, Canada. Our 2008
display includes more than 8o,000 LED lights, 74 inflatables,
and four nativities. Two controllers animate twenty
artificial trees in the front and twelve stars in the back.
There are numerous static displays of blow molds and inflatables.
Thousands of visitors park their vehicles and walk the pathway
that encircles our home. Our town designates the lane
behind our home one way during the light display hours. We
collect food for our local food bank and are featured on radio
and television as well as the local newspapers.
Please click on this link to take a tour of our yard.

neck unit is animated and moves back and forth. The reindeer is
located in Boulder Creek, CA. Here is a picture of it we took
this morning for our Christmas card to send out this year.

This is my fifth year. Not much has changed
since last year. Added a blow up Santa and a few more animated
deer. About 6000 lights now. The worst part about this year was
I broke my ankle leaping from the roof. I learned that isn’t the
quickest way to get off the roof. Either way I finished it with
a cast on my leg and in crutches! Merry Christmas from
Dave and Windy in Clearwater, Florida 2008.

Here's some pictures of my house, I have been doing the lights
now for 25 years and add on every year. I live so close to BWI
airport that I have to call them so planes don't think it's the
runway.
there's over 2,000 sets of lights ,That's right I said sets.
Mickey Mouse ridding a train around the yard, yard blow ups, and
you can listen to Christmas music in your car on 87.7 or hear it
playing through speakers in the yard and watch some Christmas
lights beat to the music.
Some nights there is over 200 cars a night to see the lights.
I also do the neighbors house's to and to the festival of
lights.
The lights are on from Dec. 1st to Jan. 1st 5:00 pm to 10:30 pm.

Merry Christmas from Pennsylvania! Here
is our family's house for the 2008 holiday. Every year I
try to add a few more lights. This year I added four
dedicated 15-amp GFI circuits just for Christmas lights alone.
I tried to get as much of the house in as possible. This
year, I decorated the deck and the shed. I hope everyone
has a Merry Christmas and a safe and healthy New Year!!!

the Peppermint Kandy Kids. This years show included his
theme song. The 2 pics I’m including are one of the house
and one of Morris. Here is the youtube link as well if
you’d like to hear this awesome song:

This year we felt it was important to go out
of our way to make the world laugh when designing this Hawaiian
display of lights because so many in the world are so depressed
this year. While sitting this silly display up people stopped
and said "Thank You" to us to putting it up. Thank you for
putting up a Christmas display? That just made us cry so we
decided to add more to this tropical celebration of life holiday
display. We replaced some lights with tiki torches and
silk red and white flowers to show our support to conserve
energy this year. This year we have tiki gods to protect all
from despair this holiday season. We have pink flamingos to
signify life is just peachy even when doom glooms over us. We
have palm trees swaying in the winds to show change is
coming. We have all sorts of crabs, sea horses, and tropical
fish swimming in lighted kelp along the display's outer edges to
show that sometimes all we need to do in life is just go with
the flow. We have a Christmas fire breathing dragon wearing a
Santa hat to say to all those who have lost their homes in the
fires these past few years you have not been forgotten. We have
frogs leaping for joy in the background to say things will not
last as they are now there is joy in the world. Of course we
have HULA GIRL in the middle of this telling all that
none of us are strangers in this world but instead we are all
friends just waiting to meet. And we put a huge sun over her
head to show Christmas does not have to have snow ... Christmas
is where the heart is... Over head on the roof we have Santa on
a Jet Ski with his bag of good stuff for the world to enjoy. And
also in big letters through out the display are signs which
reads "MELE KALIKIMAKA" which means Merry Christmas in Hawaiian.
This Hawaiian light display is our gift to the world to show a
change is coming just hang in there people. We have tried to get
this whole display in pictures but can't seem to get it all in
so these are just some pictures we took of it this year. To get
a good laugh you must see this in person...

channels. The lights are synchronized to music. The music is
broadcast over a low power FM radio transmitter. In the yard
there is over 20 animated decorations. There is a Santa's
Workshop that is 12' long with 3 windows and 9 animated elves
and Santa. The giant tree stands about 48ʼ high. 10 multi color
and clear arches, 36ʼ feet wide, span the driveway. 26 separate

Chuck, Here is my display in Ruskin, Florida.
This was my first year using the animated Light display system.
Thanks to Jeo Frelin, Paul at animated lighting and Ben Debrocke
in Riverview, Florida for their support in doing the animated
jump, I have 13,500 lights this year. I also need to thank my
family for their support in getting this set up and my brother
Steve for his patience with me during the placing of the
lights. The c-9's the the GE C-9's that really help in
calculating the amps for the controller. Next year I hope
to add to the light total as with more channels. I had 16
channels with the animated light system. Maybe 32 or 48
channels next year. Have a great Christmas from sunny Florida.

family and friends but please feel free to take a peek and share
any input. It can be found at

Merry Christmas from Minnesota, we live

Hey Chuck, we've been decorating our home since 2001 when
we first moved in and as the years have gone by it's become more
and more of a crowd favorite. Each year we add or change
something just keep people guessing. However, this year means a
lot more to us. This year we are collecting donations for a very
dear friend of the family. 7 Year old Jessica Liggat-Wilcox is
battling a very rare form of Brain cancer and she is only the
third person on the planet to deal with this kind of Cancer. So
this year we are collecting donations to help with the Families
Medical bills and Expenditures. Merry Christmas --- visit

We have been lighting up the block for 7
years now. My 9 and 13 year old sons help get the display
started the week before Thanksgiving. This year we are just shy
of 20,000 lights. I like creativity and went with a simple
theme; red, white and green lights. We put 1,700 green light on
our tree in the back yard to give the house some depth and 2,800
lights on the chimney (my personal favorite). The wooden trees
in the front yard our hand made as is the "Hoppe Holidays" sign
above (our last name is Hoppe). The wreaths are all hand made
and wrapped with lights. The 6 poles in the front of the house
are wrapped with strands of red and white multi channel light
that have been wire-tied together. The white lights twinkle and
fade in and out to give life to the display. The Angels are new
this year and they twinkle as do the snowman. The twinkling
gives the house a great effect. The lighted trees are made from
upside down tomato holders. This year we put 1000 lights on the
X-Mas tree inside the house. Every year we add more and more and
the best part for me is the bond with my sons as we work
together putting up the display. Our neighbors really enjoy the
lights as well. I get comments like, "we look forward to your
lights every year" or "Your house looks better every year".
Seeing families and children enjoy our display makes the hard
work pay off in the best way. I love it. I hope you enjoy
the pictures as much as I enjoy putting up the lights.
Season's greetings, Micah Hoppe and the Hoppe Family

So I upped it this year and went partly
animated... Using a few chaser controllers to animate the spiral
trees, and another one to alternate green candy canes w/ green
c9's outlining the yard to red candy canes with red c9's
outlining the yard. Also decided to put my theatrical background
into use by projecting snowflakes onto the garage - 500w in
itself! Added some blowups (inside the gate unfortunately); and
a total of 8,400 lights! Merry Christmas from San Jose,
California!

Our house is decorated with animated lawn ornaments, musical
Christmas trees, and thousands of lights..Neighbors stop by
every night and view the display. We received a letter from one
of our neighbors saying that we have "captured the essence
of Christmas". Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBy_pNHRCP0. Where does
our Christmas spirit come from? It started when I was a
little girl. My mom was always very into Christmas, but she
would never decorate very much. I was always fascinated
with the Christmas trees that we got. I would lay under
the tree and gaze up at the beautifully glowing lights. As
I got older, I would decorate my parents homes, and then when I
moved to college I had as much of our tiny apartment decorated
as possible-with the theme of those beautiful glowing lights
that would remind me of my childhood. My husband and I would
watch National Lampoons Christmas vacation and I always told him
"I want that to be us! I want to be incredibly decorated!" But
he always told me "then you get out there and do it!" Finally
last year, GE came out with their lights and sounds. My husband
being a programmer, bought it for me. And that is where the
addiction started for him. We had a nice change from our normal
Christmas' that year. But my husband wanted more. So,
unbeknownst to me, he started searching for ways to make a
larger scale than the GE offered. And he found D-light. He spent
the entire year-from January all the way through October of this
year-buying and soldering controllers and gathering Christmas
items and lights. Then on October 6th, he presented me with a
van full of stuff. There were lights and animated sculptures,
bells and wreathes. I was so excited! We started decorating that
day and it took us until the middle of December to finish. So
why do we spend what our friends call "so much time and
dedication" creating this massive light display? Aside from the
little girl inside of me that says "more of those pretty glowing
lights!" we want to bring the Christmas spirit back into an
area that is losing it. Local news stations are reporting that
as a result of the economy, people just are not decorating. And
indeed we can see the results. Very few people have decorations
up outside at all. We have had two big viewings of our display
this year so far, with a third lined up tonight, and the
reactions we are receiving have made the months spent well worth
it. "You have made my Christmas, thank you so much!" "I cannot
decorate in my tiny apartment and you just brought the Christmas
sprit our for me, thank you!" "This is unbelievable!" are some
of the comments we are receiving. We also decorate big
inside. There are lights everywhere, on top of the largest real
tree we can fit in our house-10ft. I have my Christmas
village sprawling along the backside of my living room. We
aren't stopping here-there are grand plans for next year and
people can't wait to see them! Tara and Chris Barr

My display consist of over 140,000 lights,
neatly arranged in a winter wonderland theme. I've been
decorating my house for over 15 years, each year adding
something new. I have 19 blue spruce trees with white lights,
that grow each year. This year I had to add 22 boxes of net
lights to cover them. I have many figurines, including, deer,
angels, a red nose Rudolf leading the other 7 reindeer pulling
Santa on a sled, Santa ridding bicycles, Santa in a model T pick
up, a projector showing Christmas videos, a 4 ft man in the moon
with a Santa hat on 24 ft. in the air, Santa fishing with fish
jumping out of the water, and many more decorations. I've
won several local contest with this, Thanks PlanetChristmas! JIM
