Video of "A Christmas Festival".
Not great quality but you get an idea of the animation.

Front walkway up to the house. Five
homemade arches (wrapped in
garland and 200 lights each), our big Display Arch, and an even dozen
of the lighted North Poles. All of this is controlled by
Light-O-Rama
computer controllers and my dedicated PC.

Left side of the front yard. Santa
Mickey, Teddy Bear,
Snoopy, 6' snowglobe, Tigger, and Elmo (Left to Right).

Right side of front yard and side yard.
Our carousel, Merry
Christmas ornament, Frosty the Snowman with a Christmas Tree,
Happy Holidays ornament, and 8' long Snowman/Noel/Santa (Left
to Right). You can't see the Lawn Lights in the daytime picture.

Better picture of the arches.
Each arch is a separate channel.
These do a pretty mean trumpet solo
during "A Christmas Festival".

Better view of the North Poles.

From the front door looking out to the

Quite a view!

The EIGHT foot tall display sign is a real
eye catcher!

As a member of the Texas Christmas Lights
group, I decided to incorporate the Texas Christmas Lights
logo into my display in a unique way: using an old holiday projector, I
created a custom slide of the TCL logo and shot it up on the side of the
house. Over four feet in diameter and about 18' off the ground,
several of the visitors this year have asked about TCL and why it's
shining on my house! I'm always happy to talk to other enthusiasts
about this fulfilling hobby. |

Rachel picked these out this year.
We call them "C-99's" because they're so big!

I've had a lot of people ask me about my
Lawn Lights. I love how these work and
they really pull my whole display together.
This is a close up view of the light and stake.

The side
of the house, with the Noel inflatable backlit
by 8,100 mini lights! Looks really good controlled by
nine individual channels of Light-O-Rama.
It's hard to get a clear shot of this side of the house.
|

All
of the North Poles, lit up and glowing away! These
have gotten a lot of attention from our visitors.

Radio Sign all lit up. My Radio Frequency
transmitter is from Ramsey Electronics and
built by the "world famous" Marty Slack.
The sign lights up whenever a song starts.

My office wanted some decorations in the
windows,
specifically a Texas, a Christmas tree, and Happy
Holidays with our Company Name incorporated into
it all. Below is what I came up with.
All of these are on 4' x 4' corogated plastic.
I primarily used white lights, as the windows these
are going into are 6' x 6', second floor, and tinted.
The white will show through better.

Above are two separate panels, one with
the
outline of Texas (for Texas ENT Specialists) and
the other with a Christmas tree.

Above are the other two panels.

Closer view of the Christmas tree.
The colored lights added a nice touch.

Everything is bigger in Texas...
even our window decorations!

Below are pictures of our two Christmas
Villages.
The first is seven houses, treehouse,
several townspeople, and some lighting effects.




The second village is four houses, a large
Christmas tree, and a moving train circling the town. This is the
Thomas Kinkade village and has just beautiful pieces. I have never
seen village pieces that look as good as these do when they are lit up.
It's also a great centerpiece to the dining room table.
