We used to have a great xmas light display at my old neighborhood in San Ramon. It got so competative, that they eventually made rules and classes and had awards...
.
The best award: "Highest Electric Bill", I guess some people were getting into the thousands of dollars on their bills to pay for all the electricty. The displays got so popular it could take 15 minues to drive the block and a half from my house to the main street due to all the traffic from all around the Bay Area. :shock:
Our house won "Best Traditional" a few years in a row... my mom hung real evergreen wreaths in all the windows with electric candles, and we put simple white lights in all the bushes. The simplicity won the judges over I guess, since it was a nice change from the motorized santas and neon Baby Jesus' everyone else was doing... (anyone remember the 1st season Simpson's XMas episode?
)
