Christmas lights

So, would anyone be interested in sharing the most, erm, spirited (or garish, depending on your point of view) Christmas light display in their neighborhood/town (even if it's your own)? Kind of meme-like?

Even though I think taking things to the extreme is pretty tacky, I can't help but enjoy the joy of the season that literally radiates from those displays. One very fond memory I have is seeing the humongous display covering the courthouse? City Hall? (big, classical, forbidding-gray, official-looking building) in downtown Sydney. Red and green "ribbons" (at least fifteen feet wide) wrapped around the building along with several slightly-smaller-than-Macy's-Parade-sized balloons of Santa and snowmen. It was tacky as all get out, but it was so cheerful. I loved it.

So, wannna share? If so, I'll rush out and take pics of the house I'm thinking of.

In lieu of that though I'd love to go catch some ofthe ones out here and take photos. They're *terribly* tacky. Everyone here loves giant inflatable things and garish lights, and worst of all, signs with "Santa please stop here!" types of kitsch.
