Tim & Jackie Puppe 

Greetings from Rochester Minnesota. We have been adding lights every year, this year there are 11,573 lights. already planning for 2008! Love the website, thanks!

Hello.  Here is our 2007 Christmas Light Display located in a small town in Eastern Oregon. This year we added our first mega tree made of 6,400 lights.  It changes 4 colors red, green, blue, and white.  Its a great addition outside of Santa's house.  Lighting up one side of the house is a winter wonderland with falling snowflakes. The other side includes a 25ft Christmas train with motion lights.  You can view pictures and video at http://www.bowlercentral.

This is the Schrimp / Guerena Home on Via Cristal, in San Juan Capistrano, CA. This is our 12th year. Since everyone is computer controlling their lights, we like to be different. We still use over 15,000 lights, but we focus on animated displays. The Entire garage is a animated winter scene with mostly hand made figures. New this year is our 12 ft. Tall animated Ferris wheel. Tons of lights, animated figures around the yard, and a snow machine sure to put a smile on the faces of kids of all ages.  Thanks.  Wayne Schrimp, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675

The Robinson Family from Ft. Lee, VA. This is our first year animating our Christmas lights. We live on an army base and wanted to do something different for the military families on our base. We are using Mr. Christmas this year with about 5000 lights. We will be using LOR next year. Thanks to planet Christmas we have learned a lot from this site.              

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2007

Merry Christmas from Ohio!!  Just did a nice layout of classic style of lights.

Just for fun!.....and we love Christmas!!!!....We take Santa or the snowman or both...out for drives in the summer at the RV park!..(It's to cold to do that in MI in the winter!)   the children love it!.. and chase them down the street!!!.....There's nothing like a 12' Santa lit up at night behind a golf cart driving down the streets of a RV park!....well...unless you have Santa and the snowman at the same time!

Merry Christmas from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  I was just told about this web site and love it.  I've found so many helpful suggestions.  This is my 6th year decorating.  I have 35,000 lights including the lighted moving Ferris-Wheel, electronic firework piece, music synchronized to the archways, and a snow machine (which will be used on the weekends only).  This is the first year that I've had more than one person helping me but it looks like I'll need more help next year.  Have a Merry Christmas and a great holiday season.

ChristLights is a display focused on reminding people of the real meaning of CHRISTmas! We have over 25,000 lights. Visit the website at www.christlights.org !

This is the centerpiece of my 2007 Christmas Display.  My Beco-General Foam/GenFoam/Poloron/Union
/TPI/Grand Venture Nativity Scene.  It gets the most compliments out of the rest of my display, so that's why it's the only picture of my display that I am submitting.  I chose a daytime picture.  Holy Family, 3 Wisemen, Kneeling Shepherd = Beco/General Foam.  Standing Shepherd, Donkey, Ox = Poloron.  2 Angels = TPI.  2 Camels = GenFoam.  2 Sheep = Grand Venture.  Star = Union.  Stable = Homemade (my design).  Thanks!  Joe Tyria 

Merry Christmas!   Counting the back yard I'm nearing about 20,000 lights, sure wish I had a larger front yard....

This is our display for the year 2007. We have 30,807 lights hooked up to 48 channels of LOR and 4600 feet of extension cords (both bought and homemade). This display took a year of buying, building, planning and sequencing and 13 days to put up to come out just right to bring smiles to all who pass and it was ALL worth it. Next year we have at least another 12,200 lights planned on going up...but we still have 12 months to add to that ;) Enjoy and visit http://johnnychristmas.com to see more pics and videos of our display.

Leo Douillard's located at 793 Pinemont Ave, Port Coquitlam, is in my opinion one, of the best Christmas Light Displays ever because it is done with so much love and puts smiles on the faces of everyone who has the opportunity to visit of course I could be a bit bias because of the fact he's my dad (& the best one at that!).  This Display of aprox 50,000 lights along with the many inflatables, characters & interactive things for children to play with, is done by one man with one of the biggest hearts ever!!! We love him so much and are thankful that he takes the time (about 110 hours to set up the display, not to mention the hours & hours it takes to check each string before set up) to make this display each and every year a bit more spectacular than the one before.   Our family has had so much fun over the past years being involved in, what is now known as, the Annual Santa Picture & Hot Chocolate Nite.  This year Santa is coming on Saturday, December 15th from 7-10pm,  please join us & get a free picture with Santa and enjoy a complimentary Hot Chocolate.  Please visit his website at www.piczo.com\xmasguys
house. Lights on 5pm-10pm nightly.  All donations to the Children's Hospital.  Thank you.  Sincerely Proud to be the XMas Guys Daughter,  Carol. 

Xavierlights which is located in Sherman IL is home to over 80,000 lights this year and 100 strobe lights.  Add 32 more channels of LOR, given me a total of 80 with 48 extra in reserve.  They are several new items for 2007 including a 33 foot Mega Tree with the local school colors (Purple and Gold). More reindeer for Santa team and the house of the Penguins.  Check it all out at www.xavierlights.com/ to see the full view of the display which is too big to capture in one picture.  Happy Holidays from the Loftus Family. 

This is my 5th year of lighting up the block. I have really enjoyed spending weekend after weekend putting up lights. This year we are pushing 16,000 lights with more to come in 2008.  Hoppe Holidays

Hello there,

Here is our humble little house all decorated with Candy Canes and red and white lights. This is our third year of decorating. Next year we plan to go musical.  Each year we add a little more. Our Candy Cane house is at 5505 Oakville Heights Ct. in St. Louis, MO, 63129.

The Randall & Kandi Roberts family display in Andrews, Texas.  It's our first year with computerized show. Our central parts of the show include a 52' mega-tree built around a removable, guyed radio tower with 20,000 lights (Clear and Multi) and 40 channels. To balance the yard, we put 5 11' mini-trees on the opposite side, each with 14 channels. The yard has 153 rows of lights, divided into 51 channels each of Clear and Multi lights. We've also got the dogs out for "Yellow Snow" and plenty of deer for "Rudolph". The total is 140,000+ lights and 368 channels. Planning started last Christmas, and actual construction began in mid-September. We have pictures and videos at http://www.andrews
christmas.com  Merry Christmas to all! 

For Rusty...  This year our lights are dedicated to the loving memory of our son Russell "Rusty" Creepingbear who lost his long battle with cancer on October 29, 2007. Although was only 29 years old, through out his long battle with cancer he always showed courage, determination, perseverance, dedication, and a strong will to survive. Christmas was Rusty's favorite time of the year, he always loved helping put up all of our lights. He was greatly missed this year and will be greatly missed in the years to come. We love you and miss you.  James & Camille Wagoner,  Edgewater, Florida, www.jamiejames316.com

Happy holidays from The Yehling Family in Winfield, Illinois.  This is our 20,000 light tribute to 'Sparky Griswald'.

Thanks to yours and STEVES's help we have a GE lights and sounds of Christmas on the pontoon boat.  We made a Ginger Bread House on the 16' boat.  It took 270' of 3/4" PVC pipe to make the frame that sits on the rails. There are over 3,500 lights using 6 channels of sound, powered by a 3,500 Watt generator.  The children will be dressed as Elves this year.  Sshort

This year is bigger than last year. I went with a Candyland / Gingerbread house theme for Christmas.  All the candy canes and lollipops were made by me. There are 7,500 lights on the house this year. We hope you enjoy it.  Anthony.  Charlotte, NC

First I want to thank my dad for teaching me everything I know about exterior illumination. Every year I change my display's color and theme. This year I have over 500 multi-color big bulbs, 300 feet of lit garland, 100 feet of ice lights, 15,000 mini lights, and much more. I have a total of 140 Amps of electricity being consumed. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Merry Christmas from the McKinneys in Plymouth, Indiana!

Hello everyone, This year our new thing was to put up a Christmas tree on our flag pole. This isn't real simple, but there are some good ideas on how to build it on the Internet. We used 18 strands of 70 bulb LED lights and hooked it to a six channel Mr. Christmas music box. After the Mr. Christmas was installed,  we were somewhat disappointed, because you have to roll down your window to hear the music and most people that come to look don't bother. So, if your are going to add music to your display, I recommend using a light-o-rama control panel that pipes the music into a radio on a FM frequency. This is a much better alternative to music playing outside your home throughout the holiday season. Mr. Christmas is OK, but if you live in a neighborhood, you will probably keep your neighbors happy by not broadcasting the same 20 songs over and over again. Remember, LED lights are the way to go, so save a little money to shop the after Christmas sales because as your know, LED's are expensive and hopefully stores will mark them down after Christmas. Hope you enjoy our display and thanks for keeping the spirit of Christmas alive. Tom and Becky.

This is our 5th year at 7453 Mitchell Drive in Rohnert Park, California. Last year our house was featured on HGTV's "What's with that Christmas House?". We have choreographed the entire yard display in synchronization with the music playing both through outdoor speakers and on a FM transmitter channel. For more information on our display and how to create your own, come visit us at www.smithchristmas.com! Thanks Planet Christmas for all the support! Curtis and Brenda Smith

We are finally out of room! Our house reached the maximum number of lights that can be put on it, as always I will continue to add more until Christmas! It can now be officially called the "Clark Griswold Residence." Every inch of everything is covered in lights, front and back yard. It is a must see this year! Other than adding more light, I spend hundreds of hours synchronizing the roof and front bushes, to music, on the computer. Our new electric panel, installed for last year's display, is already maxed out! I'm afraid to turn on more than one appliance at once. I put up everything, shown in the picture, by myself. (I’ve been decoration my home since I was about 5 years old; I am currently 17.)   We are located at 947 Saxonburg Boulevard, about a block from Shaler Plaza, on Route 8, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The show runs from 6PM - 11PM daily.   Bill Hart. 

This is my first year for animated lights. I have 40 LOR channels and just over 13,000 lights. My official light-up night was Nov. 24th and had quite a gathering of people for my opening night and many, many compliments. I don't have video's yet, but I do have some pictures on my website www.madtownlights.com . I am really pleased with the way my display turned out and I couldn't have accomplished it, if it weren't for the wonderful people at PC.  ~Merry Christmas Everyone~  Jeff Phillips  Madison, OH 

Hi and Merry Christmas to all we live in Sydney Australia and this is our house each year we keep adding more so until next.  bye

Dominique Ketner Queen Creek, AZ Over 16,000 lights!

Our second year with animated lighting using Light-O-Rama equipment, we have 112 channels this year.  The Brown Family Christmas Light Display is located just east of Charlotte, NC, and can be seen at www.lakeparklights.com.  We are the only animated light display (that we are aware of) in the Charlotte area, and are located about 30 miles from McAdenville, NC, which is better known as ChristmasTown USA.  Our show is 20 minutes long and runs each half hour from 6PM to 9PM.  Merry Christmas!

Here is a picture of my house.  I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 55,000 lights.  I have four inflatables and tons of light strands.  We live in Reading, PA.  There are three 10' trees in the front yard and a 20' tree in the back yard.  Hope you enjoy this picture and have a Merry Christmas to all.

This year we have gone moderately low-key, as we are going for the full animated effect next year. There is a mere 1,500 lights this year, but probably 10 times that next year. 

Michael, Linda and Craig Woolgar

I know this picture doesn’t show much compared to my 23,000+ lights from last year.  That’s because this year I am stuck in Iraq for Christmas and I didn’t have a lot to work with.  I wish everyone out there a Merry Christmas.

Thanks,
Brad

Here is a picture of the Knepp house.  We are in Las Vegas.  I'm 12 years old and I have been doing this about three years.  We have about 5,000 lights.  We also have four 4 foot inflatables and six 8 foot inflatables.  Hope you like it.  Happy Holidays.

This was my first year decorating the Santa Bus. Of coarse we used Light-o-Rama the lights dance to music which we blasted out the doors. We have been in two parades so far this year. One more to go...very popular with the kids and adults alike.

It's not really the number of Christmas lights you have ...But what do with them that counts.

Aloha, this is out 25th year at Santa’s Lane, (see attached page from Garden Island news), started out with 2-stringers in 1982, and look what happened…  I have 2ea G-Scale trains running in opposite directions just under the 30-ft light Christmas tree…

Joyce Family Christmas Display, Gloucester, VA. 23061.     We started putting up our Christmas lights on October 8th and finished on November 21st.  During this time frame we worked every night with help from family and friends.  On thanksgiving we had our family grand illumination, which included fireworks and about one hundred family members, friends, and neighbors.   Our display has become a community symbol for the holidays. We have roughly 200,000 lights, 42 inflatables, and over 100 yard sculptures. We power this display with 31 dedicated 20 amp circuits which is trenched throughout the yard.   We have added another 200 amp service to our home which powers the 3,500 feet of underground power cable. Our local radio station helps promote our display and food drives.   We collect for our local church pantries, Salvation Army, and animal shelter.  Last year we collected and distributed over three tons of food and animal supplies.   This year our goal is to reach at least four tons or more.

My name is Shane Carter from Hiram Georgia. In only my 2nd year of doing this I'm pretty proud of myself. I have a total of 3280 lights. This is not including the 2 strands of lighted garland, 2 grapevine deer, 2 prelit entry way trees or the manger scene. I'm really just getting started and have lots of plans in the years to come. I have almost 3 acres to play with (2 of those being free and clear land) so the possibilities are pretty much endless. If your ever near Hiram look me up. I love talking to folks on this great site and getting & sharing many ideas.

I have about 3,000 lights, and a NOMA chasing light controller for the spiral trees, 3D deer, and all the lights in the tree. Have a blessed Christmas season! Robert Sanders, San Jose, CA

Sparrow's house in Oshawa, Ontario.  This year we have added solar lights to our display as well as having added a GE Lights & Sounds of Christmas box to animate our lights and provide music for the neighborhood.

Our home in Sienna Plantation in Missouri City, TX outside of Houston, TX. We finally crossed the 40K light barrier this year.  We added 4 Dedicated Outlets this year and still blowing breakers.  They do not make them like they used to.  Enjoy and Merry Christmas.  The Marino Family.  3515 London Lane Missouri City, TX 77459

Whole house decorated (Walls and trees fade between two different themes). I even have Christmas lights inside the fridge. No official count done yet as I’m still adding more. Merry Christmas too all!

Here is our contribution of our light decorations for 2007, This is now the second time we submitted our house to planet Christmas, I really enjoy putting up the display and love the reaction I get from people passing by. I wish some of my displays showed up a bit better like my home made nativity set I make out of limbs and hay I get from the woods behind the house. If you look close you can see the cross behind Joseph and Mary and red lights under Jesus' crib. As usual we added more stuff again, namely a blow up carousel and a cool penguin you can see on the porch. BTW can you believe all these lights are reliably running on 35 amps, Not too bad at 4200 watts, It seems like a lot more than that. Anyway Merry Christmas to all! Martin & Cindy in Bayport NY

Greetings from Battle Ground, IN.   Almost 58,000 lights controlled by 136 Light-O-Rama channels.   New this year are 14 more mini-trees, seven shooting stars, four pairs of wireframe bells on the house, and a 25' diameter (40 foot arc) 28 channel leaping arch.  Our show consists of six songs and last about 20 minutes.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  The Hoover Family.

This is our second year with an animated display.  Since last year, we added another controller (at 96 channels now) and started changing out a lot of the mini’s strings of lights to LED to stop the inside lights from flickering during most of the songs J   We have 25,000 lights animated to 15 songs.  Our house is located in Kenosha Wisconsin.  Here are some links to our new animations.  Rolly Polly the Polar Bear: http://www.youtube.com/
