This guy in my office set up the houses in his neighborhood with lights synchronized to music that you can hear over a radio station - about 20 houses total on his street...if you guys are interested in seeing it, here's the email:

It's that time of year again...our neighborhood has our animated lights up and working. We added two additional houses this year, so we have 20 different houses synchronized to music. Right now, there are three songs going. I hope to have one or two more by the end of this week. During busy traffic times, we may cut down the song list to 1-2 to keep traffic flowing.
We are collecting canned/non-perishable items for the PC West & Regional Food Bank this year. There is a drop-box in the neighborhood to drop any donations you may have. This year, you can also text "CAN" to 27722 to donate $10 to the Food Bank. Last year, we only took actual food donations, and gathered 1,700 lbs of food!
Where/When: The lighting display is along the entire 2100 block of Markwell Ave in Oklahoma City, and along some of Graham Ave this year. From NW 23rd and Council Ave, travel west on NW 23rd about 0.2 mile to Graham (second Left), and turn left (south) on Graham. The light display starts at the top of the hill (2208 N Graham Ave), and continues down Markwell Ave. The donation box is currently in front of 2113 N Markwell ave. The animated lights operate from 6PM to 10PM during the week, and until 10:30 on Fri/Sat evenings. Tune to 102.3 MHz on your car radio and enjoy the show!

The videos on their site are amazing, but don't do it justice in person.

My joints were feeling a bit off, so I did minimal effort on the lights this year --- strung em around the porch, stair railing and front bushes and called it a display. :)

I am gonna con NP into going to try to check out leftover Christmas decor sales this weekend, as some of our front light display lights have partially burnt out.
