Not-So-Silent Night

THE SINGLE MOST NEIGHBOR DEVASTATING CHRISTMAS DISPLAY EVER: Wizards of Winter.

If this was next door to you, the owner would have to stake you to Christmas in Vienna or risk having you burn his place to the ground and salt the earth.

Still, it is the most amazing Citizen Christmas Display yet achieved by the greatest nation of party throwers in history.

Watch the whole thing. The crescendo is worth waiting for. I guess next year all they can do to top it is to blow the whole house off the face of the Earth.

The flashing peace sign on the garage door (?) next to the star of Bethlehem? Guy sure believes in ecumenism (not to mention heavily subsidizing the local electric company).

Once you have seen the Austin TX 37th St lights, nothing else impresses you a whole lot.

I tried to post links to some stories and photos about the 37th St lights, but I got a funny error message, so not sure the comment is being held for approval or simply didn't work.

But now I am inspired to make a post about them, so if you want to find out more, stop on by.

My first thought was that this was one a heck of an editing job. But I was wrong: http://tinyurl.com/amnu8 (link to CBS story)

Coolest. Lights. Ever.
