About a 1/2 hour before my show start time on Saturday night, I answered a knock at my door to find 3 elementary school age neighbors asking when my lights were going to start. I told them 530 and asked why. They said they were going to sell hot chocolate across the street from my light show. Sure enough, they set up a little card table, and for the next 3 hours ran from car to car selling hot chocolate to people watching the show. I glanced out a couple of times and it appeared as though people were buying from them. It sure warmed my heart to think that these kids might have made a few bucks for themselves from my work. Wish I had thought to get a picture of them post here.

OK, it just came to me, the wife in a sexy elf outfit selling shots of peppermint schnaps to adults. I could expand to 20 controllers and all LED's in one year. Thanks Don, I'm going to call her now to see what she thinks.

Yea, I have a hard time getting her to run strings of lights on our split rail fence, so probably the elf outfit would be a lot to ask.
