Here is a picture of my roommate Brad up in the knuckle boom getting ready to start stringing some lights.



Here is an aerial shot I took of the tree from about 25 ft. up in the air.  It's about a quarter of the way strung in this picture.

We are also building 12 mini trees to line the perimeter of the yard. I'm also in the middle of sequencing Wizards in Winter for this year's display. So stay tuned as I add more content through out this year's build process and look forward to more how to's.

Each year, we collect donations to benefit the Marine's Toys for Tots Foundation.  The money donated goes to buying gifts for local boys and girls in need of a bright Christmas.

In the How To section, you will find a ton of information on how to get started in this hobby.  There are a bunch of pictures and step by step instructions on how to do this yourself.

The Pictures section contains a ton of pictures of the 2006 display as well as pictures of the 2007 display being built.

The Videos section has several entertaining videos showing off our display in action.

The Directions page has a fully interactive Google Map showing the location to the display.

The Contact Us page has information on how to contact us as well as links to our Flickr and YouTube profiles.  You will also find links to several websites where the display is featured.

Thank you for stopping by and check the site regularly as content is continually added.
