Mike:

These people spend BIG money on these light shows for their home. Some have over 65,000 LED lights connected to expensive synchronizers and computers. The sophistication of these systems are amazing.

So is their electric bills. :) I have heard some will spend 500 - 1,000 a month extra on electric to run all the equipment and lights.

Here is a good one:

There's a guy in our town who did that last year, LED lights, animated characters, computer control on everything. Also there was a sign on the side of the road a quarter mile before you got there saying to turn your car radio to a certain FM radio station. He had a low power FM transmitter that would broadcast to your car just around his house and all the music was synced with the computer controlled lights. I would hate to see what he had invested in supplies, utilities, and time in setting it all up.

A guy near where I live put together one of these a few years ago. I don't know if he was the first, but he has been the most popular.

He broadcast the music over a radio frequency also so cars could listen on their radios as they drove down, or stopped, on his street.

He ran it for a few years and it got so popular that the fired department said they were concerned that they would not be able to get down his street in the even of an emergency. I think the neighbors were happy to see it go.

This guy is a computer programmer and he had written the software that syncs the lights to the music. He put it on the internet for free. What a "holiday spirit" thing to do.

He quit his job and last I heard he was doing light shows like this all around the country, mainly for businesses.

Yep, my turkey left overs are finally gone and it's time for Christmas!
