Time for me to up the ante a bit then. I've only got 13,500 lights on 75 channels. No radio narrowcast either, though it's been featured on several stations over the years with one putting some of the electronic "animals" to air and featuring it on their website. Also it's the only one clearly visible from the top of Mt Wellington.:xmaswave
You will need sound - can you imagine the traffic jam as every car waits for 5 minutes to see the whole show from start to finish....
Kym Illman from Messages on Hold has gone over the top with Christmas lighting on his Bishop Riley Way, Churclands, Perth home.
It is draped in 26,500 light bulbs, run by 128 lighting channels, connected to 5km of electrical cable that all up took 220 hours to install.
But the clincher is that it's choreographed to music. As you approach the street switch your car radio to 92.5fm and the Trans Siberian Orchestra starts belting out Wizards of Winter. It took 45 hours to produce the soundtrack synched up to the lights for the one song because every light has to be done individually.
If you can't make it check out a video of the choreographed display at:

The show is getting better every year.
"Merry Christmas"
A big thank you to all of you who have contributed to my enjoyment of ASF in 2007.
There are some really great people here and so many discussions, even arguments, provide thoughtful reading.
Could I suggest we look around us at this time of the year to see if anyone we know is perhaps on their own at Christmas? Invite them to join you just briefly on Christmas Day. It will make little difference to us and a huge difference to them.
Merry Christmas and my wish for all of you to have the kind of year in 2008 that you would wish for yourself, whatever that may be.
We're going down to wife's aunties (twins) who live in Somerset for Christmas. This is is something they've done nearly all their lives, invite people less fortunate for Christmas Dinner. They are now quite elderly and one has Parkinson's disease, yet still do this every year.Could I suggest we look around us at this time of the year to see if anyone we know is perhaps on their own at Christmas?

It will be nice to be a small part of that this year.
...and a Merry Christmas to all at ASF.
As things start to wind down before Christmas, I would just like to wish all ASF members a Merry Christmas.
I hope all members have had an enjoyable year trading and that Santa brings you everything you want.
I have really enjoyed getting to know alot of you guys over the last 12 months, and appreciate all the informative posts that have helped contribute to my most successful trading year ever.
Cheers and Merry Christmas

Well I'm out for at least the next couple of days so merry Christmas all and remember to stop, revive, survive on our roads.
Be safe people!
Cheers
With such a hectic lead up to Christmas I had every intention of wishing everyone the best for the season but never got around to it. So I hope that everyone had a good Christmas and I sincerely hope that the new year brings us all good health and much prosperity.
