If I had to put up with that until 11pm for a month, I’d train my dogs to poop on her yard all year.
It consumes a lot of power which could be piped off to Mexico and help useful cartel business.
Personally I think some people are being fixative obsessive far beyond the normal or necessary. Now then again I do realize the newest lights are LED, are much safer, less heat and last much longer with a very small current consumption.
And even that had retailers almost up in smoke when they came out as they relied upon replacement bulbs for business, I have the same LED lights from many years ago, they still work and I don’t buy any more.
California? Bet the neighbors wouldn’t complained if it flashed out “Obama’s god”.
What happened to peace on earth and good will to men. One night of that would be all I could stand.
It looks ugly and must be annoying as hell for the neighbors.
On a happier note, the article nextdoor on the CBS Local page took me to "Cheerleader Roundup - Week 15." Now that's some nice, peaceful Christmas cheer. Ho, ho, ho!
Here’s another Christmas house. Actually quite good. I don’t think I’d like it next door to me though.

They lost me completely when I noticed that one section of the lights was spelling out the words to the song they were playing "Oppa Gangnam Style". Sorry, that's not Christmas.
For the record, I have what I called "tastefully excessive" lights. They don't blink, I don't have gaudy mechanical stuff or blow-up things.
I have a deer family, a penguin family, a polar bear, a bunch of Christmas trees, and some lights on my house with wreaths. I've got 23,000 lights this year.
Some day I do plan to create a single "tree-like" feature that will have lights that change with music, and have it run on a schedule for a couple hours a night. But it won't be the entire house worth of lights, and it will be tasteful.
