People can’t see our house because we are on a hill, and we are a ways from the road. However, you can just make out the top of our house from the road. I’ve thought of surprising my wife with a lit 5 foot star to place up there. The problem is that we only get two or three cars driving by per day, if that. And one of them is the mail man.

That would be a sweet thing to do for your wife. It might be worth it if one of those three cars had a child like my three year old in it. She gasps with delight and says “Christmas lights!” at every single decorated house we see. Every house, every time, every day.

We go to “Celebrate The Light” every year; a local family donates their large yard and the electricity for a huge drive through Christmas light display that is set to music (on the radio), on weekends they have drive in Christmas movies, and there is an ice skating rink. It’s all a fundraiser for the Salvation Army. Our daughter will probably pass out from excitement there!
