Rule of Thumb:"If it's not visible from space,

you don't have enough lights"

TUNE INTO 106.5fm KoldeChristmas

 
  I would like to personally
thank my family, particularly
my wife.  She puts up with my
Christmas music,time on the computer,
and large purchases.
Without her the display would
not be possible.  Not only is
she my partner but my best friend.  

     Last year (2008) our display grown in leaps and bounds, to 17,935 lights to be precise.Beginning in July, plans were made for our light to "dance" to music. Through the purchase of a Light-O-Rama program, the synchronization began on the computer. Several hours have been put into organizing the display on the computer. Then (after a bit of a detour for halloween decoration), we got all of the necessary materials together (more lights!) and got the house prepped. On November 16th, through the help of our wonderful family, the house and tree were covered in lights. After many test runs, the whole show went live on Thanksgiving night. It runs nightly from 5:30pm to 9:00 pm. Just drive by, tune your radio in to 106.5FM, and enjoy the show!

 This Year we upgraded to 250 amp for Christmas. A far cry form 30 amps we had last year. We also added more lights,

     Holidays are coming…holidays are coming…holidays are coming…We are excited for everyone to see the 32,000 lights decorating our house this year.  It took all year to plan and several days to set up, but we areready!  Our show this year is a synchronization of lights to seven entertaining Christmas songs (including one popular cola commercial).  In addition to lights covering the house and roof, this year we have added a mega tree and arches of leaping lights that cross our yard.  We are also collecting non-perishable food to help support those who feed needy families in our community.  We hope everyone comes by to see the show, donate food for the needy, get a candy cane, and  maybe even buy some hot chocolate from our son (on the weekends)!

From KoldeChrismas to you

MERRY CHRISTMAS !

We would like to thank all that donated food this year. We quickly surpass our original goal of 100 lbs of food, so we ambitiously change our goal to 500 lbs. Again

THANK YOU 

"As I untangle strings of Christmas Lights,

Lord help me to remember that I do this first to honor you.

Never let me get so prideful of my display

that I fail to see the wonders in the 

eyes of a child or the joy in the faces of those

who are still children at heart.

Never let me forget that my total effort is to make

Christmas memories,

bring cheer, and to slow down the pace of a hectic season

if only for a moment.

And, Lord, someday when I meet you face to face,

may I hear you say:

"When you made My people smile, you made Me smile."
