Walter gets "up there" by using an extension ladder. It gets scary sometimes. No... we don't use a bucket truck.

re those real toys?
You bet! They are all toys of the past. Guess it's a reminder of our childhood days. We are always searching for old
toys we like. We must prep the toys for lights and then its the actual installation of lights. Quite a bit of work is
involved before we have the finished product.
The actual set up starts in September. However, the total job of planning, building,etc. is a year round project.
Magic Christmas is run on an additional meter from the house meter. Therefore, we are able to get accurate figures. On the average, the total cost of electricity during the Christmas season is approximately $900.
Walter made it! He looked for a kit to no avail. SO... it was to the shop for approximately one year to figure-it-out. He was determined to make it run. It was all trial and error.
A
re those dead trees?
The so called dead trees are tallows that have been pruned and stripped of all leaves for the installation of rope lights.
No, they are not dead.

here did you get the light show?
We made it up! We choreographed the show by computer. All lights are turned on and off by the use of DASHER/LOR.
