This is cool, it looks like the house is jumping.
As the story goes, the guy that owns this house lives north of Cincinnati, Ohio . Police were constantly being called for traffic jams and accidents in the neighbourhood so they asked him to shut it down during certain hours. Instead he started charging by car
load to payoff duty police to be there. The guy is supposedly a real computer GEEK. Click a see for youself:

Gracie - enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. As much as I don't care for that four letter word "SNOW" it certainly does add beautifully to this display. Those Ohio people have it going on!

The story below the video says it's in Utah & started in 2006 but d/t all the problems it is now shut down. The owner started a business & does light displays all over the world. I think the lights in Hadley are better because multiple houses are involved.

You have to go see the lights on Dunkirk. The lights there encompass the entire block and rival this single house.

Here are the lights on Dunkirk in the village of Hadley, our first Village here and one that I love;

On Christmas Eve we will be lighting luminaria on our drive and around our home to add to the red and green lights Sweetie put on our outside bushes.


Some see the symbol of Christmas candles or lights as a way to light the way for the Christ Child or...... Santa. Some see lights as a symbol of hope in darkness. Some religions have festivals of lights. I love to see Christmas lights and I wish you all peace, joy and light on the feast of Christ's birth.

Gracie, I think the lights at the second half of the video you posted were the famous display on Hillcrest Drive on the Historic Side. Beautiful though. I love Christmas lights too.
