waltappel 1 #26 November 21, 2005 QuoteSince I have recently moved, most of my pictures are still in storage, so sadly, I have no proof of my creativeness. Let me negotiate with the people I am currently renting from and peruse my budget. I will see if can afford a small light display. If so, I will make sure I post pics. Works for me--I hope you can do it. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waltappel 1 #28 November 21, 2005 QuoteHey...you only live in Houston...... That is a fact. I live in an apartment and don't even put up a Christmas tree, let alone Christmas lights, but when I lived in a small-townish area in upstate New York, some people got really competitive about their Christmas lights and, since there wasn't much else to do, I would drive around and check out the ones who put on a really big show. We're talking big to the point where they would have to make some sort of special arrangements with the local power company each year. So I still don't really understand the whole Christmas light thing, but I can appreciate a good show by someone who really gets into it. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PsychoBob 0 #31 November 22, 2005 This year I think I am going to take my my Christmas lights out of the storage container and just scatter/throw them around in the yard and on the bushes. No order, no design, no anything. It'll be kinda like a "Christmas Picasso". It should really fuck up my neighbors who are already on the edge. Plus it'll be easy to put them away when it's over."I'm not a gynecologist but I will take a look at it" RB #1295, Smokey Sister #1, HellFish #658, Dirty Sanchez #194, Muff Brothers #3834, POPS #9614, Orfun Foster-Parent?"

skycat 0 #34 November 22, 2005 QuoteQuoteQuote Whoever came up with that must be some sort of really disturbed genius! I wonder if it was the guy that does the stage lighting for the Trans Siberian Orchestra. That was the best Christmas lights display ever! And I'm glad that you pointed out who the music was from, because I really liked that too... and am now listening to some of their other stuff (though so far I am thinking that they should stick to instrumental music). We went to their concert two years ago and it was a really good show. Some of their stuff on CD is kind of slow, but in the stage show it really fits to tell the story they are trying to tell. I highly recommend it especially if you don't want to do the same old Christmas shows.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Route maps are available so you can drive your own vehicle and check-out all the lights. Some folks really go nuts with the lights and decorations.
