Xmas light's and my wife are going to send me over the edge

I kinda like those mini villages. That's a great display. I'd love to do something like that if time allowed AND if there was a way of it not being completely destroyed by a pillaging gigantic two year old on a rampage.

HEHE, Sorry Greg, can't help laughing. I feel for ya!

I myself don't do lights, I just say no. Got the tree, and the wife decorates the house, but I say why waste power.

I told mine we have a nice blue christmas light up all year long and that was enough.
That and we don't have any plugs outside so would have to run a cord out the window.

Yep that sounds about right, not because I don't like lights, I'm just way to lazy to hang any up

Be glad you're not this guy

Don't hurt yourself LYAO smart guy and with the shop being here we can write off a major amount of our power bill so the wife figure GO BIG OR GO HOME with the light i guess.

I can just imagine your little dude rearranging everything with the sword he was poking and hitting you with.

That is so true, I guess it is a bit of a compromise when I want to spend money on the tank.

This dude is nuts, I thought I read some where he starts his setting up right after Halloween.

Looks like he's doing some sort of fundraiser so good on him. I've seen some tv shows showing people with more advanced controllers then we have on our tanks and have separate power panels for it. Something like $600 for there power bill for dec. With music matched lights. Nuts.

Actually he starts before Halloween, I pass this house on my way home most of the time.

Epcor had to install a separate transformer to power the lights. Also looked up how much his power bill was around and this is what I found:

"Jerry says he'll spend about 1,000 hours lighting up the night as a tribute to his late mother, Maisie Dolynchuk, and to raise some much needed donations for the Edmonton Food Bank. He adds that his power bill, last year, was around $1,000/month. But, since switching most of his bulbs to LEDs, it's now hovering around the $300/month mark."

Here's a link to his website and he raises money for the food bank. I know it's called Maisie's house but I've always called it the crazy Christmas house
