That's a wrap for this year!
A few fun statistics:
1398 song requests on our website!
You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch was the most requested followed by
I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas,
Jingle Bell Rock,
Hallelujah, and
The Polar Express

The most asked question this year (and last!) was "how high is my energy bill", so I monitored my usage with smart outlets and saw that I consumed about 137 kwh at 13 cents each is about $17.82 in electricity costs!

We are excited to plan changes and improvements for next year and hope many of you will make us part of your holiday season traditions again! May you have a happy 2024!

Merry Christmas everyone, we are overwhelmed with the amount of viewers this year and happy that we can be part of your holiday traditions! Please continue to be thoughtful of our neighbors and don't park in their driveways. We will plan to run the show this week with the 31st being the last day for the year. Thanks again and we look forward to planning our display for next year!

A huge thanks to everyone who has come out to watch the light display! After watching the traffic, I have a suggestion to hopefully make things flow a bit better as traffic increases the closer we get to Christmas. Please pull all the way around the cul-de-sac and either back in, or line up on the far side. This should allow us to fit more cars in front of the house and shorten the wait times. Thanks for your continued courtesy for our neighbors and we hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
