You'd be surprised how many people actually do this!!! There is a forum on planetchristmas.com that breaks these displays down by state. We went to see one in our town last year and it was amazing! I just looked him on youtube and it looks like he has the neighbors house tied into his display this year!

Kelly that is pretty cool. If only I could get my whole yard on pic, you could see i have many more lights. I guess my snail mail just didn't get to photobucket.

 

[DisneyBishops]

wow that is one sick display i have to say. I have nothing against hunting but i don't think I could put that display in my yard.

 

[ntsammy5]

Yeah, I can't believe that someone actually put this thing up!

This looks like Christmas in Tennessee not Florida.

The wonders of stop-action photography. This one is pretty good, too. This family had one posted from 2006, this one is from 2007.

Rob, what is stop action photography? I am pretty sure these are all real you can buy programs to run on your computer that work relays to switch the lights, its not cheap.... but real!

'Twas A Florida Christmas


T'was the night before Christmas and all through the town,
no noses were frozen, no snow fluttered down,
no children in flannels were tucked into bed,
they all wore shorty pajamas instead.

To find wreaths of holly, t'was not very hard,
for holly trees grew in every back yard.
In front of the houses, Dads and Moms were
adorning the bushes and coconut palms.

The sleeping kiddies were dreaming in glee,
hoping to find water skis under the tree.
They all knew that Santa was well on his way,
in a Mercedes-Benz, instead of a sleigh.

And soon he arrived and started to work,
he hadn't a second to linger or shirk.
He whizzed up the highways and zoomed up the road,
in a S-L 300, delivering his loads.

The tropical moon gave the city a glow,
and lighted the way for old Santa below.
As he jumped from the auto he gave a wee chuckle,
he was dressed in Bermudas with an Ivy league buckle,
There weren't any chimneys, but that caused no gloom,
for Santa came in through the Florida room.

He stopped at each house....stayed only a minute,
emptying his sack of stuff that was in it.
Before he departed, he treated himself
to a glass of papaya juice upon the shelf.
He turned with a jerk and bounced to the car,
remembering he still had to go very far.

He shifted the gears and stepped on the gas
and up I-75 he went like a flash.
And I heard him exclaim as he went on his way,
"MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL,
I WISH I COULD STAY"

"I WISH I COULD............"

am I missing something here?

 

[2goofycampers]

"I WISH I COULD............"

am I missing something here?

No Rog, Frank is missing something here..........STAY", the cut and paste is new to him.

I fixed it.

 

[Just Beachy]

Frank's trying to keep us as a captive audience! Frank, for some of us, it's too early in the morning for that!

 

[PolynesianPixie]

I kept looking for the dirty word that rhymed with "way"

 

[DisneyBishops]

Some of you asked for some more pics, so here they are!

 

[VACAMPER]

the fun part will be taking all of those down!

 

[Us3]

Great job! Thanks for sharing!

 

[DisneyBishops]

Actually takes less than a full day to take down and pack it up and put away. We do that on the 26th and head to the fort on the 27th.
