That's what you get when you go viral. All the news outlets did not have the address posted but thank to Facebook connect on the LA time website, everyone had the address. Polar and I had to park a 1/4 mile away from the house. Neighbors were smart enough to pull all their cars off the street and close it off. I in my Mario Costume and Polar in his Homicidal Maniac Costume (they look like everyone else) saw other neighbors selling glo outside their home and one house came pretty close to rivaling the big house, it had moving eyes in the windows and effects matched with the audio. All in all it was a great night. Wish we could have seen the ground effects though.

If they were smart they would put out a donation box for the electric bill. Seen some people do that who go all out for Christmas.

When I was a kid, we went to see Candy Cane Lane, and I was astonished to see one yard decoration that moved. It was Santa doing the Twist!

A couple of years ago, I went to a similar event, and it was reallyimpressive--one house had an ingenious ski lift for the dolls playing in fake snow, throwing snowballs at each other, etc.. And yes, there were a few trees lit up with programmed lights. But nothing quite like the singing house.
