The Lights of Christmas
Lights and music celebrating the reason we celebrate: the birth of Jesus. Pull safely off the road, tune your radio, and enjoy.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Behind the scenes
How the show comes together
Months of planning, a lot of wiring and cords (miles of it), and a little computer called the BeagleBone Black that runs it all.
By the numbers

Every light points to the first Christmas.
What started as a few strands of mini lights at our old apartment has grown into a year-round labor of love: miles of wiring, and songs programmed by hand in our living room long after bedtime.
We do it for one reason. Christmas gets busy, and it's easy to forget what we're celebrating. Every light out here points back to a quiet night in Bethlehem, when the Light of the World was born. We pick music that tells that story, and we hope it lifts your spirits on the drive home.
Thousands of people pass this house every day. If a few minutes of lights and music bring you a little peace, a smile, or a reason to slow down, that's our gift to you. Merry Christmas.
