I don’t know what it is about July; maybe it is the fact that its just past half way to Christmas or maybe it is the fact that there are so many Christmas in July sales in the mall, but I can’t help but think about Christmas every year around this time.
So today, I spent a good hour digging around Youtube, checking out some of the most amazing Christmas lights spectacles I could find. I was thinking I’d probably find a few houses that had 20,000 lights or so and power bills the size of most families monthly incomes, but to my surprise I was blown away by actual animated LED Christmas light shows.
Around here, the people with a billion static lights get all the attention, but on the Internet is where the real Christmas light freaks catch their fifteen minutes of fame. These people have not only completely drenched their houses with tens of thousands of LED Christmas lights, they’ve also used a computer to animate them so they dance in tune with music.
Some of these videos date back to 2007, so before you comment that some of these are old, not every single person walking the planet watched every video on youtube.
Here are six videos of animated Christmas lights made by some very talented people…. let the countdown to Christmas begin!
