Only 17,000 Lights

There is a house down on the next street from our house that does a HUGE light display set to music every year. Matt bundled up the kids and took them down to see it tonight, the owners were outside handing out candy canes and Matt talked to the guy about it. He uses about 17,000 lights and starts work on the display January 15 for the upcoming December. He starts with programing all the songs and goes on from there. He builds the light displays as well and it takes them 4 weekends to get everything up. They have speakers for the music, but they also broadcast it over the radio (you have to be close to the house, as you drive away you will lose the signal)

Matt got a little video but Ava wanted to walk around so he is going to go back and get a better video and I will post it then, but I will upload what I have so you can get a taste. I love that they do this and I just have to wonder what their electric bill looks like this time of year!

All bundled up!
