Wow! Those are totally INSANE! Sounds like a fun time!

Deborah, nice photo's!  I really love to look at the lights this time of year too.  Merry Christmas!  8-)

Hi Rich - Yes it was and these Christmas Lights are really over-the-top!  It's incredible how much time, effort, creativity and electricity these homeowners put into their displays!

Hi Michael - Thank you, I love Christmas Lights and often take long detours to find them.

Yes, pretty amazing lights.  This reminds me that I should go and take some local Christmas lights, good for community news!

Thanks for the wonderful pictures.

Happy Holidays!

Sylvia

Hi Julie - Thank you!  I hope you do go for a drive to look for Christmas lights...it's really a special way to spend an evening!

Great Shots!

Merry Christmas Deborah, have a great one.   

Hi Laurie - Thank you and Merry Christmas to you too!

What great shots Deborah! I love Seattle and your pictorials from around the city - I plan on returning more often to see more. Unfortunately my passport ran out, so I won't be able to visit until I get a new one - it really makes me smile to see the city images!

Hi Deborah - Thank you!  I love making people smile, especially about Seattle...I love Seattle!

Merry Christmas!

It's truly amazing how much effort some people put into decorating their homes for our viewing pleasure.  We have one homeowner in Wenatchee that went to the trouble of setting up a syncronized light/music show.  It was a hoot!  Have you ever heard of this being done elsewhere?

Hi Carol - Wow that must have been an amazing show!  The KOMO TYV link I think does have a home on it that is set up like that...but it must not have been in the areas I was looking see that night.  There was a few years ago a home with lights synchronized to music from the Trans Siberia Orchestra that was making the rounds on the Internet...I was sent it a couple of times, it was amazing! 

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas Carol from Wenatchee!  :  )

Wow, now that is some serious energy usage indeed, I wonder how many thousands of dollars they could save over the course of the season by using LED lights for the same purpose, I bet the cost savings would be huge, maybe they might put up even more lights, as if that would even be possible- Lance

Hi Lance, one of the local new-stations did a story about the energy use for the Christmas lights, and how it might be considered to be excessive energy use.  The news report did suggest the new LED lights (and some of the houses on KOMO's Parade of Lights webpage are using the LEDs) would be a better choice than the regular kind.  People interviewed for the report all said that the energy use was OK by them since it is done only a small part of the year, and everybody enjoyed both seeing them and sharing them.  I wonder if any can be seen from the planes flying overhead!
