Decorating your home for Christmas can be exhausting, expensive and… disheartening. You can do an entire day’s worth of work and create a light display that you’re super proud of. That is,  until Steve from up the block plugs in his Winter Wonderland. We all have a Steve. You know, the guy with the house that has lights that pulse to the music he broadcasts. The one with the  3-D Light Projection show on the house and a menagerie of animated everything? Suddenly all your hard work becomes a barely noticed blip as people drive down the road to see his house. Thanks a lot Steve.

The fallen ladder really sells it.

As an added bonus, you’re sure to get visits from the Fire Department! Fun for the kids!!

The Griswolds should have used this technique.

 

Speaking of the Griswolds, the Cousin Eddie decoration is sure to delight!!

Neighbors who don’t get it should just move. They don’t deserve you.

One string of light, one Grinch figure, one fully decorated house.
