My name is Dan and my wife and I, along with our two children, love Christmas!  And even though in the realm of static displays, ours ranks small (with 3,100 lights), it's still something we're proud of.  Plus, this year, we are collecting donations for the Food Bank in our area!  Merry Christmas and happy new year!

Merry Christmas from Oshawa, Ontario once again this year our display has grown. We broke the 3000 light level this year.  This display shows what you can do with a small yard. For the first 2 weeks we leave the lights on solid.  Starting the beginning of December we turn on the music and light controller.  To see more pictures of the house and eventually other houses in Oshawa go to http://sparrowchristmas.blogspot.com/

  MUSIC, MOTION, AND MERRIMENT. This house is located on Balboa Island in the middle of the Newport Harbor, California, which is home of the annual "Christmas Boat Parade", known as one of the ten best Christmas viewing events in the country!  The house has over 26,000 lights and is the first house in Newport Beach programmed with a computerized light show.  Lights are synchronized with the music to twinkle, shimmer, and dim to ten different songs including "All I want for Christmas", "Jingle Bell Rock", and "Sleigh Ride".  Ninety six computerized channels control the lights and show.  For the computer to control the lights over one-half mile of electrical wire was added to the display.  It takes approximately 5 hours of programming for every 1 minute of song.  Synchronized shows are scheduled every 7 to 10 minutes apart.  A new addition this year is a computerized sign, "100th Boat Parade" sign!  The award-winning display has been on national television, and in several newspapers.  Visit www.ZimChristmas.com

I enjoy Christmas displays and technology alike. In previous years my house was viewable and controllable via the internet. This year I decided to take it small scale. Now you can have an entire miniature village under your control. The site is: www.noelcam.com   Enjoy playing in the village while listening to contemporary Christmas music on Noelcam Radio. The site is available 24x7 until January 1st.  Thanks for allowing me to send my submission, I am nailed to your site every Christmas. Thanks for providing it.  -Sean

Merry Christmas everyone.  This year I started early November to get the display up and running.  Not everything is perfect yet but will be soon.  I've added more this year (mega tree, inflatables,etc, etc).  I'm up to about 40,000 lights so far. Mr. Christmas will be running this years display.   Just seems too much work to program {for now}.  I've added 2 extra 20 amp breakers just to keep up with the power we use.  Thanks for the website.  Have a wonderful Christmas everyone. The ADAMS family, Clayton NC. If anyone's in the area.  ENJOY
