Fifty trees? I thought the homeowner was exaggerating when he told me he had fifty trees that he wanted us to decorate. I counted them; there were 51! We decorated the trees in a variety of colors. Standard red, blue, green, and clear mini lights were used as well as some not-so-common solid colors like pink, amber, purple, and then fancy combination light strands with names like Christmas, Ice, Poppy, Winter Frost, and Peppermint. In total we had over 40,000 mini lights on those trees, 28 strands of garland, and about 450 C9 lights on the house. Visit our Christmas light installation website at http://www.lovechristmaslights.com to see more pictures of this job and others that our installers have decorated.

We are a family of four from Mayen Germany and 2010 is our 2nd season combining our decoration with a charity-event. At closing 2009 we had been able to collect more than 3600.-$ in donations for kids in need. The idea has been featured on the local news paper, TV- and Radio-Stations. Our small display runs on 240V, has around 15000 lights and is controlled by 2 LOR units. We heartily invite you to visit our website www.lightadream.de if you like to see the lights in action.

Greg Zimmerman: MUSIC, MOTION, AND MERRIMENT - - Newport Beach, California is home of the annual "Christmas Boat Parade", known as one of the ten best Christmas viewing events in the country. This award-winning house, located on Balboa Island in the middle of the Newport Harbor, is viewed by thousands of visitors who came by car, by foot, and by boat! No wonder so many people stop to gaze at the lighted wonderland. There is animated action galore. While Christmas carols play in the background, "snow" drifts from the rooftop dispensed from a manufactured snow machine. On the rooftop, Santa waves from a chopper with rotating blades and a gingerbread man jumps on a lighted trampoline. Lighted wheels rotate on a choo-choo train; a tin soldier drums his drums; a snowman tips his hat; a gyrating Santa Claus dances; and even an illuminated Hula Dancer' wiggles back and forth! The house is anchored on one side by an eye-stopping 25 foot green blinking Christmas tree. On the other side the eight foot wide chimney is draped in a carpet of red lights inter-mixed with white lights that vertically spell "Balboa Island". Blinking candy canes, stockings, bells, and snowflakes all add to the fun. There are 25,000 light bulbs in all. The house and its owner have also been featured in a PBS television special, numerous magazine and newspaper articles. What makes it all so amazing, owner Greg Zimmerman does all of the work himself, and makes many of the lighted decorations as a year round hobby. He's always alert to searching for new light ideas and creations while on far flung vacations. In addition to the new motifs, there is a Christmas Scene laser light show projected onto a 4 foot square screen.

Jeffrey Holmes: 1.5 Million Lights! 1,300 AMPS! 145' Tall! The LARGEST artificial foliage Christmas tree in the world was constructed this November in Guatemala City by Barrango INC of South San Francisco. Commissioned by Gallo Beer for the 25th anniversary of their Tree Lighting Ceremony, the tree was programmed by Jeff Holmes and his team at J. Holmes Productions (also of San Francisco) and features 12 musical masterpieces, which perform in 3's every hour. 55,000 people were at the premiere on November 13th with another 1.5 million watching on National Television. This musical experience is going to be a Holiday landmark for Guatemala for years to come. Guatemala City, Guatemala http://jholmesproductions.com

Steve Hill: Currently have around 40,000(+) lights now with 64 channels of LOR control, although only using 48 channels so far this year. Our lights are a combination of all types, LED, minis, C5/7/9's, ropes, chasers, etc. You name, it is probably out there. We have a Mega Light Tree hosting around 6000 lights all alone riding 16 channels of LOR. This year we added a trio of smaller arches, as well as our big 15' arches from last year, with four supporting rope light poles topped with spheres of mini lights matching the color of each pole. This takes up the other 32 channels of LOR in use. Recently added the LED snowflake set up on the roof, which is very eye catching due to the brightness of the LED lighting. I also constructed a nice 6' set of "north poles" for the driveway entrance, which I took a step further and built this "pvc arch tunnel of lights" over the entire driveway. I found some simple relays and created the image of a wire frame deer jumping a fence to meet another deer on the other side. A lot of people really like that one. Also built a smaller "mega" tree out of pvc. It is around 7' tall and has around 1200 mini lights and three 18ft sections of LED rope light, all controlled by a relay to give it a very nice spiral effect. We also added some 8' tinsel and wire candy canes with a "Merry Christmas" archway between them, along with the Snoopy and Woodstock animated mailbox. With all the wireframe "critters" we have acquired over the years, I built this simple PVC/plywood sled for them to all ride on, pulled by our beautiful 500 light horse. The final major addition this year was the plywood cutouts of the Nativity with accompanying Angels with trumpets. Very large overall display for us and for our area, receiving much attention already. Planning and construction has been underway since early September, and the display started setup November 1st. Our first show went off very well on November 19th! Augusta, Ga. United States

Jeff Kolde: It's shaping up to be a wonderful holiday... This year's light show is titled "Cartoon Christmas". It is filled with songs by Spongebob Squarepants, Disney characters, Looney Tunes, and other fun kid-inspired melodies. For this year's show, we have put up about 35,000 lights. We changed our color scheme from red and white to red and green. The contrast of red and green is impressive. This also gets us ready for next year as we prepare to use red, white, and green lights (with the addition of another Light-o-Rama box). We are collecting food donations again this year to feed local residents. Our goal is to collect 500 lbs. of food. You can see how we are progressing on this goal by watching the thermometer go up as we get closer and closer (by percentage) to the goal. Please come by and enjoy the show. If you do, you may be greeted and treated to a candy cane by a member of our family. Our sons are also selling hot cocoa to make some money for their holiday gift-giving. Merry Christmas to all and we hope that it is "shaping up to be a wonderful holiday" for you, too! Riverside, United States http://www.koldechristmas.com/

Jay Pelham: This is my first year doing animated lights, and my first try building a mega tree really isn't very "mega" at 5'6" tall with a 3'6" base. I live in a small townhouse, with a tiny front yard, so this tree is about the biggest I can go without crossing the property line. It has eight 50-count strings of multi minis, which give me sixteen 25-light strands coming from the top. The tree will only be 4 channels this year, giving it a helicopter effect with a minimum of 4 strands (two on each side) on at one time. I am still waiting for my 16-channel LOR controller to be delivered, and I have two sequences ready to try out and one that I'm building from scratch of a song that I hope I will be the first to use in an animated display.

Matt Schilling: Merry Christmas!!! We have submitted to PlanetChristmas for 5 years now and really enjoy this site! Here is our 2010 Display located in Eastern Oregon. This year we changed things up a little bit and moved the running waterfall with jumping fish to center stage. We made it longer and surrounded it by flashing Christmas trees to music. We also changed one of the trees to flash two different colors. Red and White (Clear). Of course we have the return of the 10ft mega tree with 6,400 lights - that changes between 4 colors (Red, Blue, Green, and White. Also New this year we moved Santa Clause next to a Christmas tree under 7ft candy cane arch to the side of the house. Surrounding the arch is a toy soldier and a snow man with flashing snow flakes. Please visit our website to view more pictures and video of the display. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Matt. Irrigon, OR.

Nathan Kells: Santaland started 25 years ago in the small rural town of Madison, Minnesota. Located in west central Minnesota, this Christmas display had seen better days. I contacted the Madison Area Chamber of Commerce to see if they would be willing to support a renovation of Santaland this year. One year later, with the help of numerous donors (including John Lomnicki, Jr. & John Lomnicki Sr.), we were able to do a complete, stunning, renovation. This 7,000 sq ft display is now a place for children of all ages to come and immerse themselves in the holiday spirit. It has opened to an overwhelming response by the community - if any of you are in the area, or even if it's a bit of a drive... It's worth it! Madison, MN.
