Wow, this thing has really
gone crazy with the viewers.
Let me first start by saying
that this is not my house.
Regardless of what any of the
comments read, this house
really does exist, I have seen
it with my own eyes and
nothing you see in the video
is trickery, it's all real.
This display was the work of
Carson Williams, a Mason,
Ohio, electrical engineer who
spent about three hours
sequencing the 88 Light-O-Rama
channels that controlled the
16,000 Christmas lights in his
annual holiday lighting
spectacular (from Christmas
2004). His 2005 display
includes over 25,000 lights
that he spent nearly two
months and $10,000 to hook up.
So that the Williams'
neighbors aren't disturbed by
constant noise, viewers
driving by the house are
informed by signs to tune in
to a signal broadcast over a
low-power FM radio station to
hear the musical
accompaniment.

The rough quality of the video
has led some viewers to
believe it was put together in
stop-action form from still
photographs, but that is an
artifact of the high
compression used in the clip
circulated via e-mail. Mr.
Williams has posted
instructions for recreating
his 'Wizard in Winter'
sequencing, and another of his
choreographed Christmas light
music shows can be viewed
here.

Carson's Christmas display
proved so popular that it was
featured in a Miller Lite beer
commercial in December 2005.
