I keep them in the box under the stairs storage space. Saves on the
electric bill also.

I'm not sure where to find them, but I've seen people use a slip-on
cover to hide the bulbs you don't want to show.

Black plastic electrical tape. A strip just a little over twice as long
as the bulb, and fold over the bulb. Easy to remove too.
Or you can use slip on caps, but they get to be expensive.

Plug in burned out bulbs, or take the wires out of bulbs and plug them
back in.

Putting burned out lamps in a series
circuit could be bad if there are too
many. It
will increase the current and shorten
the other lamp's lives. I have been
known to
use aluminum foil to "black out" lamps
in a series string that you don't want
to see.

I just get a shorter string if I don't need them all.

The music is Wizards in Winter on the album "The Lost Christmas Eve" by

We just went to see this house. It is in Mason, Ohio. I thought we were
probably going on a wild goose chase since I haven't heard anything
about this house except through an email I got -- and it didn't say
where it was. (Thanks No name -- it was easy to find once I knew who
owned the house).

The picture doesn't even begin to do it justice. There are more lights
on it in person than you can see in the picture. And it is more
colorful. Very impressive!! He plays music through an FM station that
you tune into in your car -- you can't hear the music otherwise --
therefore the neighbors aren't bothered by the noise. Some were
Christmas songs -- and the lights went along with the music. He played
God Bless the USA which was great and ended with the one you heard.

It is on a very short dead end street in a subdivision. I can't even
begin to imagine what that street is going to be like when the word gets
out and it gets closer to Christmas.

Ha...glad to read this. I saw the video linked in another NG and I wasn't
entirely sure if it was real or editing/video trickery. Are those LED
lights? The on/off time seems fast for incandescants. One thing I
wondered about was the figures or whatever they are that are on the lawn in
front of the peace sign...like why you can't see the outlines of the ones
in front when only the rear ones illuminate. Perhaps just overexposure
glare.

Glad also the music question is settled. I suggested that maybe someone
might do something like that via radio just like a drive-in movie. So
right on that count.

Awesome

Hellacious guitar playing in that song, puts a goosebump on my backbone.....
I understand the members of Savatage created Trans-Siberia Orchestra, so
that would explain it.

It does make it a little less special (to me at least) knowing this is just
something you can buy and plug in as opposed to some clever home
engineering.

My grandmother used to stick cotton in the sockets and wrap tape
around them. Of course, that won't work on series strings.

I haven't needed to do that. I find ways to actually use those extra
lights. For example, if you have some left over when decorating a tree
you can continue wrapping. People probably won't notice a few extras
(especially with miniature lights).

Update: On 6 December 2005, news reports announced that Carson
Williams' 2005 Christmas light display had been shut down because it was
causing traffic congestion problems in his subdivision.

But there was something about them appearing in a Miller Beer commercial.
