Holiday Lights

[HoopScoop]

I guess I'll jump the gun and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

For those that don't already know, Holiday Lights are another of my hobbies. I've always put up outdoor holiday lights, but last year I started animating my lights and synching them to music via some electronic boards and computer software.

And this year I made the paper - http://www.newsok.com/article/2988592/ . So if you live near Norman, stop on by. I have a website at http://NewburyChristmas.com that gives a map and has video of my display from last year. I will put up video of this year's show shortly.

Again, Merry Christmas!

Thank you for the article and thank you for this little home of ours. It brings light of a different sort to us.

I recently saw a piece on TV about a young man who had devoted a good share of his life to Holiday Lighting, but can't for the life of me remember where I saw it. Discovery or History channel, maybe.

Again, Thanks and Merry Christmas to you also.

Two shows scheduled for Christmas Day, don't know if either is the one I saw part of.

The Learning Channel 2-3PM Crazy Christmas Lights

Travel Channel 6-7PM Dazzling Holiday Lights

All I've seen so far is the What's with the Christmas House -HGTV.

That is just one of the most marvelous things I've ever seen. My goodness, what time, effort and expense went into to that and it surely indicates the true Christmas spirit of sharing. Thank you so much.

Thanks. Yet another hobby or passion of mine. My wife hopes I don't find any more :) It's been a lot of fun. I've always enjoyed Christmas so much. And always found outdoor lights so awe-inspiring. When I found out a way to computer control them and considering how much I like to tinker with the hardware and software, it just became too irresistible. Had to do it.

Now I just have to find out how to use my camcorder in night-time conditions. I have to apologize for how blurry the video is. I hope to correct that later in the week.

Merry Christmas everyone!

It's a bit more than too late, but I just now noticed that I misspoke myself when I said Christmas Day when I really meant to say Christmas EVE. :confused:
