Cracker Did Christmas

I like his disclaimer below the video..........

"**PLEASE READ**

THERE IS NO LIVE CHRISTMAS LIGHT SHOW!! My neighbors need a break. So please don't show up to my house expecting a show.

I originally created this for the AMAs, but you didn't get to see a lot of it due to the way it was broadcast. I've received many requests to use this for a Christmas show and I thought it would be a cool idea to add Santa Hats on the faces and place some Xmas trees on the lawn....and presto! Sexy and I know It Christmas style with a little Halloween thrown in."

I bet money there will still be people driving by just to check and see if the pumpkin Santa is lit up.

Yes I did...kinda. Posted the video, no live show. Lights were already up and song programmed. All I needed was some trees and Santa hats.

Here is a pic of how it usually looks.

This man does not stop amazing me. The time, effort and dedication to this hobby amazes me. I know hes super busy right now and to creat the spirals, the hats, and the sequence, perhaps a leak for next year. I applaud you mr blinky light man. I hope that next year I can even compare at a 10% range of what he has done with this hobby.

People like the many on here with rediculous setups not only the 500+ channel clubs but the ones with with 32 strings but 15k lights my hat is off to you.

Do the colors at least slow fade? Boring man you are.

Just kidding you do a great job at creating a lot of attention to this hobby. Cant wait till the store is up and open becuase I think Im going to need a lot of time to plan this out. You take blank checks or limitless creditcards?

I love the spiral trees Kevin! Are those rgb 50/50 strips on them? Me and the wife had talked about doing the exact same thing to all 16 of our 2ft mini trees. Right now they are all just single color rope lights but I really like the way those look.

Thank you for all you do for this hobby.

I guess great minds think alike, I just finished that sequence but for my mini/mega/etc.. It was planned as a surprise for my little brother who is coming to visit from Utah. In the middle of a bad divorce(like there are ever good ones) and during this his ex has made all sorts of accusations of infidelity so this song has a special meaning to both of us and has become his "theme music". Mine doesn't look no where near as good as yours but I think he will be happy with it.

As is always on par for Kevin, really great work and display. But I wonder just how many people will even bother to read his disclaimer that there is no show, or if some will think that's just a ploy to hold traffic down in the neighborhood after his HUGE HALLOWEEN display took off how it did.

I'll bet there are still going to be a LOT of folks driving by looking, despite the disclaimer there is no live show going on!

Well he does stand out in the front yard in his Obi-Ken-Kenobi garb waving his hand and softly saying "this isn't the display you are looking for, move along"!!

I guess the disclaimer worked. We've had a lot of people stop by to take pictures, but no one has camped out or knocked on my door. If they see me outside like taking the trash out...they will ask me if I'm having a show, but other than that...nothing. Its actually nice and quite.

A scary moment this past Friday night. When we got home from going out to dinner, there was a bunch of cars parked up and down my street and I was like "Oh crap!!", but when I got to my house...it was the neighbor. They were having a xmas party. :P

Now if they were all smart strips it would be cool to go up and down the entire house. Plus going diagonally or around the windows in colors. OHHH that would be cool. Nice job on it. Making me really think all digital strips. can anyone give me 20k

Nice job Kevin. My 6 year old son goes around saying "I work out" all the time. I'll have to show him this one too. He loved the party rock one.

I'll take 20K too Brian!!!
