I was reading an article and it was saying some people have up to $ 60 K in Christmas light displays.
These big systems are all computer driven and have sophisticated programs written to " drive " the music and lights and to sync everything together.

Some peoples electric bills go up a $ 1,000 a month just to drive these lights and systems. They are very elaborate and high tech. Police departments in some communities have had traffic jams to deal with because of people driving into subdivisions to see these homes with these lighting displays.

Check this one out. This one cost some major dollars to build ( and to run ).
