Wizards of Christmas
I suppose that this has been blogged to death but I had to put in my two cents worth. My sister sent me a 3 min video clip of a Christmas home light show that blew me away. I did a bit of digging about to try and track down where it might have come from and if it was for real. The video of the 2004 production can be viewed here or here.
Carson Williams, an electrical engineer from Ohio wired his home up for a fantastic, Christmas light display. He used over 16,00 lights were synchronised to flash in time to the music score of "Wizards of Christmas" by theTrans-Siberian Orchestra. It was reported by Snopes.com that this was a genuine video with even detailed instructions and interviews how this was done. WonderlandChristmas.com has a splendid website of a 2005 Texas light display with over 22,000 lights synchronized to music and originally hosted the work by Carson.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra's music has me foot tapping tonight and thinking that I have something else to add under the tree this evening. Time to pop on the paper party hat, grab the sax and belt out another chorus.
