Crazy Christmas lights bring holiday cheer

2016-12-03
there be driving around to find the wildest boldest Christmas displays in the neighborhood is a holiday tradition for many families we found one in Southern California that blends animatronics projection music and light into an impressive synchronized extravaganza my name is Mike from Kowski and my website is lights on display calm Mike's display is well-thought-out and delightful to watch that's because he has a lot of experience creating holiday displays for his home I've been doing a display for about 40 years now I always wanted animated figures and our yard and everything so I started building the figures I'd plywood and chicken wire and fabric and use little vending machine game Road as I Drive that about 2003 the display really took off because computer control for the home use that became available and now I'm able to control LED lights i'm atronics video sync video and music his display is so great he even won an episode of ABC's the great Christmas light fight you won't find any store-bought pieces in this set up there you see on the display is custom build a tree to the candy canes selling electronics if you're considering putting up your very own massive holiday lights display you probably missed your window Mike starts each year's concept about eight months ahead of time the display takes about two or three months to program off and on after work and then when it's time to actually put the display it takes about 15 days this year take about 15 days straight so what are the neighbors think about all this nightly light and sound so far my neighbors have always loved to display a lot of fun a lot of their neighbors bring their kids out every night and they've always been supportive and and thankful for it ask for payment or donations mike says there's nothing in it for him beyond spreading a little Christmas cheer I go out there every night try to be out there and everything to see the kids that you know have fun and from this play and their parents seeing enjoying watching their kids have fun is like all those you know weeks and months and hours is that their programming that's a Merry Christmas that's a wrap
