We are located in Langley British Columbia Canada , we are called the land of Christmas which started the lights years ago and keep changing every year.  All our proceeds go to help save the animals and keep them safe and fed.  (Prevention to cruelty against animals)

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 25,000 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 moving, lighted Ferris wheel!  The award-winning display has been in newspapers and television, and is viewed by thousands of visitors! Visit www.zimchristmas.com

This is our first year animating.  We have about 7000 lights (as of 11/20/2007) and are still growing every night.  I use LOR's 16 channel controller and have about 30 songs.

I am Garrett Kristy and I am 15. I live in Macomb, Michigan. I do this by myself every year. These pictures are this year before I added  more lights and have used the Mr. Christmas lights and sounds of Christmas.

This is our 5th year of Christmas lights and after attending the PLUS 2007, we got many ideas to make our display bigger and better this year. We added lights to our roof line, LED lights to the back fence and around the yard, penguin displays and the Mega Tree with LED lights. We have been animating a few lights for a couple of years but this year we bought a FM transmitter and have synchronized the lights in the back to music. We have 64 LOR channels. Visit our website for more photos at www.vanekchristmas.com.  Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!  Jeremy & Melissa Vanek, Omaha, Nebraska

Bet you don't see anything like this too often.   

200 multi mini lights along the sides and rear, 50 multi minis in the rear window and 60 LEDs around the roof inside. 

It turns heads!

This is a show I did in a private RV park for our annual Christmas in Aug. I have 12,000 lights on 48 channels of LOR... It can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/

Merry Christmas from the Macey’s in Clearwater, Florida 2007. 

Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas Chuck!  I just wanted to send to you my submission for the 2007 Showing Off page. Here's our display for 2007 with 30,000 lights in Milford Connecticut.   You can see more of our display at www.thathouseinmilford.com.  I finally found siding clips to get the lights attached to the siding of the house and added an additional tree.  You can't see it from this picture, but I have three arches in the driveway with over 3,000 lights.  Check out my site: www.thathouseinmilford.com.  Christopher Donnells

Hi Chuck.  For years I have thought about sending a photo or something. Unfortunately, I am computer stupid and always mess it up, so, if you got this, enjoy.  We have been at this for 18 years at this level and will continue as is. I know I can't go computer controlled.  We use a lot of chasing lights, so a photo does it no justice. I take MPEGs every year to music so that everyone that is far away can enjoy it. I have it on disc and can send you a copy if you want it.  I invented, manufactured and have tried to place in stores our snowflake decoration. Of course, I can't compete with the big guys and have been limited to local sales.  If anyone who visits your site is interested in them, they can visit our homemade website at www.snowflakesinmotion.com. I sent an email to you last year noting that the address or link from Jeff Womack does not work. That may be because it is incorrect. It's snowflakes with an s.  If anyone that visits your site contacts me by email (jalordesign@anet.com) with their name and address and that they are a PlanetChristmas member and that they made a PayPal purchase of a case of 12, I will send them an extra snowflake as a thank you.

We’re newbies to this whole thing.  We’ve been purring up lights for 10 years or so…but never to this degree.  Last year we had icicle lights and some candles in the windows.  This year we have over 10,500 lights, animated with Mr. Christmas and broadcast with FM transmitter tuned to 87.7.  We’re waiting on one more addition for this year, a wire frame elf shooting presents from a cannon.  Next year we’re definitely going LOR or similar system.  Mr. Christmas is good training wheels, helps us work the bugs out of the system.  We’re also proud to be an official Toys-for-Tots drop off location this year.  We’ll try to get a video posted if we can figure out how to shoot it with both good audio and video.  Stop by to see us if you’re in our neck of the woods.  Andrena & Doug Wallace, Canton, OH 44721  Dswallace@neo.rr.com

Good evening.  Attached is my 2007 Christmas display.  I would appreciate it if you could list it on the site.  Note:  In all, our house consists of over 15,000 lights.  The house, roof, shrubs, and trees are all outlined.  Additionally, we have included several lawn items, including three musically synchronized trees.  We are already planning for 2008!

This is a picture of my lights.  I have 6 LOR 16 channel controllers running 50,000 lights on two house.  I got my neighbor talked into letting do his house this year.  I also have a Garden Railroad running in the front yard with 600 feet of track over three main lines.  You can see the lights and railroad at my website  www.gtechdesign.com.  I am once again collecting canned food.  Last year I collected 1057 cans of food, that was my first year.  this year I hope to collect 2007 cans of food.  thanks and Marry Christmas to you all.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all....   We are Tom and Beth Ronketty from Marlton, NJ and we have been decorating for about 4 years now.  Each year we seem to grow out of control.  This year we are decorating with about 75,000 lights (10,000 of which are synchronized to music), 14 inflatables, animated animals, and a snow making snowman.  We even created a "21 tree salute to Christmas" with 21 mini trees synchronized to music.  Santa will be making appearances as well on a few weekends coming up in December.  This year we have teamed up with the Evesham Twp. (Marlton) Fire and Rescue to accept donations which will go toward purchasing food, warm clothing, and toys for the needy families and children in the local area.  Isn't that what the spirit of Christmas is all about?  We look forward to having you stop by and take in the lights and sounds of the holidays and hope you enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed putting it all together for everyone...  Tell us you saw it on PlanetChristmas!!   Happy Holidays to everyone... Tom and Beth

4800 LEDs, two deer (100 mini lights each), six little trees (100 mini lights each), one big tree (600 mini lights) for a total of 6200 lights synchronized to music! This is our first year animating and we plan on getting bigger and better each year!  We are on Milstead Road in Newport News, VA.

This is our first year with an animated light show.  We have 20,000 lights, 96 channels, four leaping arches, 8 mini trees, two animated trees, five home made wireframes, and a nativity. We are located in Humble, TX just north of Houston, if your in area stop by. 

My name is Daryl Lichtenberger.  I've been doing this for three years and every year I add more.  I like to do this and I love to make the kids happy when they stop by to see the lights.  I know I'm not that big but I keep adding more year after year.  So I came across this website called PlanetChristmas I didn't know anything about but I kept reading your site. So far this website really helped me out I live in a small town called Van Wert, Ohio.  I took pictures of my house I did before it got cloudy out so just waiting to turn them on.  This really cool thing you have going here.  I hope we get a change to talk some time.

Merry Christmas from the Pennell’s in Fairfield, OH. 

Welcome to Michael & Maryellen's Christmas house from Everett Mass.  Come with us and take a look around as people have already started to honk the horns and stopping to take a look and of course the true meaning of Christmas as the children's faces.  Light Up and Smile and go WOW . and last but not least the I'm not going.  I laugh at that one my self and that is the only thanks we need.  And the most important message is: Merry Christmas to Our Family's and to the Planet Christmas Members as if is wasn't for you people doing everything you do we wouldn't be able to do this. Thank you very much,  Mike & Maryellen mike_smith2277@yahoo.com  

This year I have between 55-60-thousand lights.  The two mega trees are 26 feet tall with 9,700 lights on each one.  The display can change from four different colors of red, green, blue, and clear.  It's powered by 176 channels of Light-O-Rama.  They come on nightly at 6:00 p.m. November 23rd through Jan 1st.  It's located in Northwest North Carolina near the Blue Ridge Parkway.
 
Thank you Chuck!
