[@scubadiverstt]

Didn't it start out featured in a Budweiser commercial in 2005? This has been remastered. The original doesn't have the clarity this one has.

I believe this same house got into a little trouble with the law because it really congested traffic on this road because so many cars stopped to see the show.

[@jkapp374]

What city is this house because theres one in Rancho Cucamonga CA that does this

[@linkfan95]

@@scubadiverstt Started out as a viral video before viral videos were cool, then it ended up in the commercial lol. Can't remember if it was Budweiser or not.

[@tedsword]

Yeah, I believe it was Bud Light, and the tag line at the end of the commercial was, "Enjoy the Lights." I remember being astonished at the clarity of the video on TV because, as @It's Me pointed out, the one you could watch on your computer did not look this good.

No other home Christmas light show has been able to beat this one. I'm still waiting every year for someone to top the lighting design, visuals, and the right song to match from this classic display.

[@GetDougDimmadomed]

There was one in my town that was massive. They waited all year to do it, and it was fantastic. Their property was a quarter of the block, and it was completely decked out, they even had a blown old penguin choir. I loved it. They haven’t done it for some years, and I miss it dearly. The only recorded footage is at the tail end of it. It’s called “Candycane Corner”, and it’s grainy footage from 12 years ago. They replaced the snow globe with the penguin choir, the snow globe was before my time.

When I was in high school, me and the rest of the Orchestra (I used the Cello) played this during our Christmas concert. One of our guys had an electric guitar and other band equipment, allowing us to play it exactly like the Trans-Siberian version. I swear every single one of us - though we did not speak of it; we just felt it- could feel the high paced emotion flying through as we played this. No pun intended, it was something magical. I wish we could do it all over again.

[@trishaagz]

I'm a cellist too, and my orchestra is playing this during out winter concert. I also play the electric bass and we have many guitarists and bassists so hopefully it sounds as cool as the recording!

[@knightoftime8948]

That must have been amazing to watch and be a part of.

[@bloggerccc]

Your original will always be the best. Remember your first love? It's the same.

[@Hippimom74]

What an amazing memory.

[@iviydie]

Chello there

[@mwestmo]

Carson Williams from Mason, OH originally did this amazing display of lights. The music was broadcast over a low FM frequency for nearby radios to pickup the audio. And like others have said, It is absolutely amazing that it is the official video for the song.

[@GrumpyOldFart2]

I think they refilmed it with a newer light display because a lot of the colors are different. But it’s definitely the same house. Edit: According to Wikipedia, TSO digitally remastered the original.

[@Blade_Wrath]

I was there for it. I heard the song on the radio, while I watched the lights go crazy. I loved every second of it.

[@eduardomorales5185]

I can imagine myself in the mall doing last minute Christmas shopping and everybody is in a rush and this song is being played

[@evanmiller2562]

Or in slow motion with everybody fighting while the song playing is it's beginning to look alot like Christmas XD

[@XaviHaunts]

​@@evanmiller2562..if you wanna meet Krampus..

[@strangeworldsunlimited712]

What made this one so much more successful than all of the others that followed it is that he gradually revealed each element in this display as the song progressed. First the "Holiday" sign and the candy canes, then the little trees, the the wreaths, then the big tree, then the surrounding lights. They're all there, but you don't see them until the song progresses more and... "Oh, there's another thing. Oh, there's another one!" Many of the "imitators" failed to realize the beauty of the gradual reveal and put ALL of their lights on display ALL at once, and then just had them blink in time to the music.

[@ElFreakinCid]

The gradual reveal also makes the ending all the more special, where the whole house is illuminated by every light coming on at once as the song crescendos. Carson Williams put so much thought, time and hard work into this show, and no one has been able to perfectly replicate it since.

[@agrofindastation]

The white border lights at the end which you never see until then, MAGICAL!!! You both said it!

[@agrofindastation]

Somehow, I have a rememory of getting a copy of the light-o-rama script file and just being in awe of it. Also, back when 480 was all we had of this, that was how I learned about Happy Holidays being the phrase.

[@61rampy65]

@@agrofindastation OK. I'm a bit late, but your comment is _exactly_ what I came here to say!

[@Strongbadathlon]

Carson and I worked together in the 1990s. Very talented programmer/analyst. I found out fairly quickly after this video was first posted that he had programmed a lighting sequencer rig to do this (the local news in Cincinnati reported the story). I think this was his first major accomplishment at this, and it found its way to a beer commercial, and then got adopted by TSO as an official video for the song. He got work programming similar rigs for drive-through Christmas light displays in public parks after that. I wonder what he's up to these days...

[@swagathan5]

Thank you for commenting this -- it's so cool to find out that this was done in my hometown of all places! I went and looked this up on Wikipedia, and sure enough, this was recorded in Mason, Ohio! Your friend Carson has a Wikipedia page too; he seems to be doing well, and even got contracted by the Denver airport to run a show like this for them on a commercial scale! Wonder if he'd be willing to do something like this for the Cincy Zoo's Festival of Lights...
