Christmas Time Is Nearing

One of side effects of being a Christmas freak is that I can not stop thinking about Christmas. Maybe it's all the fond Christmas memories I had growing up with my loving parents. Especially my dad who always went alittle overboard on christmas to make sure his two sons had a great christmas. I have been taking alot of pictures this holiday season so that some day my son can look back at the fond memories that he had of Christmas. Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Our House with more lights this year. Wait till next year!!!!

My Animated Holiday Trees

Here are some pics that I took of my Animated Holiday Tree's from Animated Lighting. I have three tree's, a 12' tree and two 10' trees. Each tree has over 500 LED lights on them. The lights are are connected to a 16 channel light controller that has a monster brain computer that plays mp3's and syncs the lighting effects. Each tree has 4 zones with each zone having three colors. Enjoy

Here are the trees right after our big snow storm:


Here are the tree's with just the green lights on:


Here are the trees with the red and white lights on:
