Heather Davis — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:34:39 +0000

The above is my Christmas tree this year. (Thank you to Julie from Cheektowaga for scaring me into not getting a live tree this year because of my bug phobia.) I haven’t really had a lot of time to explore the area yet but I love looking at Christmas lights. If you or your neighbor or [...]

Hilarious X-Mas Display, Very Controversial

Rob Banks — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 02:00:51 +0000

Some houses go over the top for Christmas which, I think is great. Some of the light displays are awesome and some are rather strange. Some people have more lawn ornaments than Dave’s Christmas Store & some people like to have Santa have a bathroom break on their roof. Wait, what? Yeah, look at this [...]

17 Houses Decked Out for Christmas

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 01:00:18 +0000

No matter what the holiday, we always love getting extra festive. It's not like we need an excuse to wear awful Christmas sweaters or take part in a harmless snowman prank, but doing that stuff during the season makes us look a little less crazy. The season also provides the perfect excuse to go way overboard in the decorating department.

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 20:39:40 +0000

Tis the season for Christmas lights, nativity scenes and Santa lawn statues. In December, it often seems like every house in the neighborhood is decorated for the holidays.

This House Has Serious Christmas 'Gangnam Style'

Emerald Catron — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 14:35:58 +0000

John Storm is a lucky man. Most people who move into a new neighborhood and promptly set up an insane Christmas light show set to 'Gangnam Style' would not be very popular. His neighbors, however, think it's kind of impressive to meet a real-life Clark Griswold. We think it's kind of impressive that his hobby requires him to use a dongle. That's sincerely Gangnam Style.

When is it Too Early For Christmas Lights?

Rob Banks — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:26:41 +0000

I'm gearing up to make sure that my Christmas lights are all set this week so that I don't have to put them up when it's cold or snowy. As a matter of fact, it's supposed to be in the 60s this weekend, making it a great weekend to do so. I'm trying to get Laura to put them up before she decides not to put them up at all when it snows.

Christmas Lights To Annoy Your Neighbors [VIDEO]

Cheryl Hagen — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 14:30:56 +0000

It's got to take hours, maybe even days to set up some of the Christmas light displays out there. I can't even imagine the cost involved in accumulating all of the lights, inflatables and other decorations, not to mention the electric bills! While holiday light displays are fun to look at, can you imagine living next door to some of these people?

Craig Matthews — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 13:55:25 +0000

I admit, I love Christmas light displays. I especially like those that have a theme. Here is one I found that could actually be left up all year long. It pays tribute to our men and women in uniform serving and protecting our freedom. This is one you will want to share with someone [...]

Some folks may be lucky enough to spend a little time in New York City around the holidays. If you're like me, and are wishing you could make a Christmas trip to the Big Apple, then this holiday lights video is for you. Saks Fifth Avenue's light display is an annual event, and this year is I think it's awesome, but you be the judge.

It’s perfectly normal to mark the holidays with a decoration or two. But the Rieken family in Texas takes their celebration of the season to the extreme by cramming over 200 trees into their home. Clark Griswold of ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’ fame would be proud!

Over the last few weeks, I've been sharing unique Christmas light displays with you. There was the holiday light show set to the Angry Birds theme and a Patriotic light show for Christmas. Now, there's one that makes me feel like I'm wishing you a haunted holiday, instead of a happy one.

When we wake up on Christmas morning to celebrate the holiday with our family and friends, there will be some families missing someone special.

Cheryl Hagen — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 13:43:39 +0000

Angry Birds may be the most popular smartphone app in America these days, so why not Angry Christmas Lights? Some talented individual, probably with a bit too much time on his hands, set 25-thousand Christmas lights to the angry birds theme and videotaped the results. You will be amazed at how beautiful angry can be.
