Attached is a link to the final (I hope) version of our Christmas 2005 display. I took the pictures tonight. The display looks great and the pictures I took don't really do it justice. I think the display need to be seen first hand to really appreciate its beauty. My neighbor, Dave, also took some pictures and I will upload them here when they are ready.
I hope you enjoy....

United Way Holiday Light Contest
This is the second year that we will enter our house in the United Way Holiday Light Contest. Although we have never one anything, it is a good way for people to donate money to the United Way while being able to check out a bunch of really cool holiday light displays.
The way the contest works is that you register your home and pay a "fee" (we paid $20 - this is based on the size of your house). People can vote by donating $1 per vote for the home of their choice.
The contest is judged based on the popular vote and Critic's Choice. First place is $100 and a trophy. Second place is $100. Critic's Choice is also $100 and a trophy. If we win, I plan to donate the money back to the United Way because I really want the trophy. Just call me "Sparky!"
The deadline to vote is December 21st and the winners will be called on Christmas Eve.
Since we live out in the boonies, it will be hard for us to get that many votes. Therefore, I would like to call upon the net masses and have them vote for our display.
I will have pictures up this weekend for people to view the complete display.
Wish us luck!!!!

Busy Weekend
I made some real progress over the weekend in spite of battling a cold and cough. I was able to get the large blow-up Santa and Reindeer mounted on the roof and added even more lights to the front yard.
I would say that I am about 75 percent completed. I still need to decorate my porch area and I am going to mount the Gi-Normous star that I built onto the roof where my HD antenna rests.
So I will probably keep adding lights and tweaking all the way until December 24th.
However, I will be entering the United Way light contest so I will try to have at least 95 percent of my display completed well before then.
Now I just need to catch up on my Christmas shopping....
