Category: Christmas Display
So I’ve been going through music and putting together a list of songs I want to tackle for the light show next year. I have 19 songs that I definitely want to try to use. This would make about a 45-46 minute show. I also have a list of 6 songs that I may want to do, but probably will not.
Am I over stretching? I hope not!!!
Here they are below the cut
Here’s my display for the year. Going to add a few more pieces, but all-in-all it’s done. I need to plan for 2012. I really need to figure out the lights I’m going to use for next year. I have a ton of 25-count C-7 Leds now, and then some random other strings. I think I got a little carried away lol.
Just ordered an FM tuner for my light show next year. Ready to start playing with it and seeing how well it’ll broadcast. Next will be the after Christmas sales to see what lights I can grab. Then it’ll be buying the controllers. Will probably buy one in February and then two more in May/June. That’ll be a total of 48 channels for my first year. That’s a lot to sequence!
Getting more and more excited about getting into this hobby. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun! Now just to start budgeting better lol. 
I received my other 2 mini trees and wired them up tonight. I did White and Yellow this time. That makes 6 trees total.
I have a 3-channel Multi-Function controller that I will put the trees on. Here is a quick look with the white, yellow, and red trees:
I’ve finished one of my North Pole’s and couldn’t wait to get some pictures posted…

Also, here is a video of the light changing color:
My dad and I are going to work on these tomorrow… Can’t wait!!! Will post pictures and possibly video of the process and end product!
I ordered some Corrugated Plastic trees from holidaycoro.com. They came in today and I worked to fit them with lights. I received 4 trees, which holds 400 lights each. That’s 1600 lights right there.
I created a green, purple, red, and blue tree. I may order 2 more and make a white tree and a yellow/gold tree.
For this year, I’m thinking of getting 2 3-channel flashers and let them “chase.” That will be a cool effect for the year.

I’m going to use this blog to capture my adventures in building my Christmas Display. Everything from building props, lighting issues, animation, or anything else imaginable.
