I started doing Christmas lights in 2009 with around 500 lights. It's grown every year since. In 2013 I'm hoping to hit the 10,000 mark (I'm at 9,000)! I have 5 blow ups a snowman, a polar bear, a Mickey & Minnie Carousel, and a Snoopy airplane. I'm hoping to add a couple new blow ups in the 2013 season. I do not have the system to synchronize lights like the professionals but I do have a small system that does a good job. I run the lights to music Thursday-Saturday 7PM-9PM. During those times the blow ups will not be running. All of the trees and bushes will be covered in lights!
