    I think that picture was taken on the night that we had a bunch of fog. I was so tempted.

    Unfortunately, I have one of those low-pitch tar roofs. I bet that would be an option otherwise though.

    I bet it was. I saw the fog rolling in before dark and decided that night was perfect.

    Well this isn't a post about my chrismas lights, but wanted to share some lights from a house about a mile away from us. My wife and I were driving down the road and saw a little sign that said to tune your radio to 95.5 with an arrow, which was the driveway to a secluded house. What an amazing find! I looked around on-line and here are some video's of the house:

    We sat through about 4 songs, my daughter loved it! I need to find out who this guy is and add some laser to it!

    This guy is even famous here in Europe! Looks a bit like my house when I put my stuff on (at least, the windows look the same )

    It's crazy! I've enjoyed watching the Christmas light shows on google and youtube over the past couple years. I never would have thought someone right up the road does this! You can't even see it from the main road, you have to turn in thier driveway and go about 40 feet past all the trees to see it. It felt funny pulling into someone's driveway! Looking at some of his other videos on youtube, it looks like he does a nice halloween display as well. I sent him an email, who knows, maybe 2009 he'll have some lasers in there as well!

    When I lived in Oregon there was a 12 block area and each block had the theme from one of the twelve days of Christmas. It was really amazing, the people came from all around to see it.

    Well, I finally added the last touch. I decided to trade the laser for a bunch of snow!
