Well, I have finally got my lights up!!!! NOT! We drove to this house last night to show Luke Michael the lights. He was speachless, it was like Christmas light over load. The man has signs up answering questions that I'm sure everyone is asking. There are 100,000, plus 110,000 lights (not sure why he puts it that way, maybe he started years ago with 100,000). It takes his entire 3 week vacation to put everything up and that is with help. His electric bill is $800. That in itself is one good reason not to have such a light display. As you can guess there is a tremendous amount of traffic, (I'm glad I'm not a neighbor, but I guess by now they are used to it since he has done it for a lot of years. It is quite amazing when you see it.

If it brings him some joy to do it, I'm sure he doesn't worry about the light bill. It does however rival Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
I think Karl worries that one day he will come home to a house very much like that one!
That was fun trip! We also got to see a house where you would listen to a radio station and the lights on the guys lawn would light up in time with the music...it was pretty sweet! =]
Samantha is right. It was very cool seeing the lights moving in time to the music. If it was a religious song the angels and manger scene lit up. He even had The 12 Days of Christmas lighting up to the song. I didn't take any pictures of that one because it would really require a video with sound to appreciate it. And yes, it was a fun trip!
