This is stupid. Christmas lights flashing to the sound a Christmas song? Those are found EVERYWHERE. No \"OMG SPESHUL!11.\" Now when the guy has an exorbinate amount of lights, decorations, and ranodm animatronics on his house, and you can tune in your radio to listen to a live broadcast of Christams music (also available on the web) like at the drive-thru, THEN you have something special.

Where do you live? Out in Washington, most of our houses don\'t have nearly the same setup as in the video.

It does not seem too impressed. C\'mon, that house is pretty top notch. You have to wonder how they wired that. It\'s not like you can buy sets that flash in pattern so elaborately.

Currently I\'m in Alabama, but the house I was talking about is in Illinois. I hadn\'t actually watched the video (I have watched part of it now on your comment), but lights flashing to the tune of a Christmas song is still an everyday thing. I wasn\'t able to hear the sound, because of the weird volume setup on these library computers, so if it is an actual song rather then just a digital one that\'s better, but yes you CAN just go out and buy lights flashing to the tune of Christmas music... why do you think it\'s so common? The only difference I see here is the \"Happy Holidays\" sign and the peace sign. Sure this guy must have done it himself to include those external two light \"fixtures,\" but visually or from an observer it\'s not that much better then anything else out there... and the amount of lights he has on his house (unless they weren\'t all shown or visible) is much less then most of the exorbinant ones.

It\'s actually not common, at least not in the Pacific Northwest. And since the Pacific NW isn\'t exactly hicksville, I\'m going to assume that it\'s not like deodorant in Texas.

Who, me? I\'ve only heard one person state they were common, while I\'ve merely remarked on that fact that they were not common in the area that I lived, and that I don\'t exactly consider my home to be \"lacking\" in things that would be commonplace.

EDIT: Oh. Songs flashing to a digital rendition of the music? That I\'m familiar with. In hordes. That\'s common. This guy had an actual song, or at least the instrumental.

That\'s what I meant X. I hadn\'t heard the music. Now I have, and the first musical rendition is something I have never heard before the second one is an actual guy singing. But regardless of what music, all it is is lights flashing on and off. In mass. (No I did not mean to say \"en masse.\") The lights just flash... it doesn\'t even LOOK that good. Now, yes, any and all set-up would, at the base, just be lights flashing on and off... but to the viewer, it wouuld appear to be more... if you know what I mean.

And if you were saying smoething to me with the hicksville comment (no, I don\'t believe you were, but just in case), I\'m not from Alabama, I\'m from Illinois, where I get all my notions of normalness from, I just came here to visit Sage.

But you\'re right, they DO have no Christmas lights here... Sage was impressed by this house with a light frame (white - all the lgihts were white) (along the roof, maybe down the side of some corners, you know), some lights in the bushes and a spiral Christmas tree lol.

I wnated to take him to Candy Cane Lane...

No, I wasn\'t trying to imply anything with the hicksville comment. My point was that I wouldn\'t imagine the Northwest to be hicksville, and thus be deprived of something that nearly everyone else had. I was only implying that we weren\'t that, not that anywhere else was.

Although I did take a shot at Texas a minute later.

And I know that\'s it\'s just flashing lights, but there\'s so much more beyond that. Namely timing. Since I\'m not familiar with the process, I don\'t know that it would be incredibly easy or difficult.
