Christmas lights

[averygoodun42]

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.

What a great idea! The concept of huge, flashy Christmas light displays has only recently arrived here, but already there are people taking it way too far :) I have also seen some very tasteful and festive light displays in windows. And our central station is very beautifully decorated this year!

Oh, the tasteful ones are fabuous, don't get me wrong. I would like to think I would err on this side of tasteful, but the exuberance of the tacky shows is just so... fun!

Pics, please?

I'll try to get some pics and post them...either here or on my journal.
