35,000 lights and 4,500 feet of extension cords

Last night, Taber and I loaded up the girls when we should have been putting them to bed and went to look at Christmas lights. I just wanted to get out and do something fun. These weren't your everyday string-a-light here, string-a-light there Christmas lights - these had become a life's purpose. If you want something to do that will put you in the Christmas spirit at once, you have to go check this house out in Pleasant Grove that has a computerized, veritable light show. They broadcast songs on 99.9 FM and the music and lights are synchronized. You can find more details at this website, like directions and hours. http://www.holdman.com/christmas/ You won't be disappointed! Except if you go when it's raining, like we did. Then only about half the lights work.


There is a similar thing going on in Murray. http://www.christmasutah.com/ His display, it appears, is a bit more...extravagant. 100,000 lights, and almost 2 miles of extension cords could do that. The director of the power company stops by every year. They're probably on a first-name basis. I'm excited to go see it soon!

I'm so glad you told us about this. We're planning on going Christmas light looking soon :)

There's a cool house down by Novell (Orem) as well--the lights don't dance or anything, but there sure are a lot of them!

Just drive up there and you'll find it--it's kind of hard to miss!

That sounds like a great family activity and I am sure Ian will love it. Thanks for letting us know about it.
