11/28/10 - We are up and running. Please check our schedule page for show times.
12/24/09 - I apologize for not having things back up and going yet. It has been a crazy week. The bottom of our road is still a little messy. Plus with the snow banks on either side, it is tough for two way traffic right now. I plan on running the lights into January - especially since we lost some time due to the storm. So, check back after Christmas as I will post the updated schedule. In the mean time, I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!
12/21/09 - Sorry I was unable to update the schedule earlier - we just got our power back on.

Enjoy!11/18/08 - It is almost that time of year again! I'm hard at work trying to get things set up. I hope to add a few different songs and features as time allows. Once things are up and going I will begin posting the schedule - so check back soon.
12/21/07 - Just in time for Christmas. A few NEW features have been added! The Foxhouse has begun to talk. Thats right, the Foxhouse has come alive and wants to share a few things with you. She even needs YOUR help with part of the show. Come on by and hear for yourself.
12/16/07 - I apologize for the hiccup tonight. The wind pulled a few of my anchors up. However, I was able to get them fixed. The show is back up and running.
12/10/07 - I added the above video showing one of the songs from this year. Make sure to stop by as the are several more songs in the show.

11/24/07 - I finally have the show (for the most part) up and running. I have added a few new features this year - one being a large tree to the right of the house. I am also still working on one feature that I hope to have going before Christmas. I will keep you posted. Please check the schedule page as I will be posting dates and times shortly. You can also go to the Directions page to see were we are located and get driving directions. Hope you have a chance to come by.
12/06 - After much complaining from my three sons for not putting up Christmas lights in 2005, I decided to put some up this year. However, being the gadget person that I am, I could not just "put" up lights. I had to do something a little different.
After a little planning, I decided to automate and sync the lights to music. I had originally planned to do a bunch of songs, however, I wound up with six for this year (the programming takes more time than I planned for).
Above is a video I shot showing one of the songs. I apologize about the quality - it is not the best but it will give you an idea. I will try to get a better video on the site soon.
If you did not get a chance to come by and see the lights this year, I am sure to have them going again in 2007 (hopefully with a few new additions). I will also utilize this website to add a schedule for the showings. This way, you can check and make sure we are up and running prior to driving by.
Merry Christmas!
