Having children is a blessing, certainly even more so during Christmas and the entire Holiday Season! In 2011, our son was awed by an animated Christmas light show put on by several folks in our area and asked if we could do the same. The same request was made, although more emphatically, last year. In 2013, our family decided to create and build a custom light show set to popular Christmas songs and Christmas In Lights was born.
Like any other project of this kind, we way underestimated the number of hours it would take to ultimately complete. Building the mini trees and mega tree, designing the layout, sequencing each song second by second and ultimately, putting the elements in the yard took many hours. We also underestimated the amount of moolah it would take. Lights, wiring, controllers, computer programs and other miscellaneous things added up. The excitement of our son and his enthusiasm for the project made everything worthwhile. Many times as the show runs each night, we'll find him gazing out the front window in amazement of how the lights can dance to the music. He gets equally excited as he sees a car stop to check out the show.
Our inaugural season combines modern and traditional lighted elements to create a unique Christmas light show all ages will enjoy. From angels and deer to a 12' mega tree and mini trees galore, our entire display features 14,000 lights and is computer controlled with 48 channels of Light O Rama equipment. We put the display together for one reason: to honor the birth of our Savior: Jesus! For those that are close, feel free to come by and check us out. For those that aren't, please enjoy the videos at your leisure. Merry Christmas!
