Deck the Halls by the Ventures -- a popular instrumental (guitar and drums) rock band. This video was shot across the street from a southwesterly direction and shows about 40,000 LEDs "dancing" to an instrumental version of "Deck the Halls." As you can see, the Meyers really go over-the-top when they deck their halls (and walls, roof, trees, and poles.) Don and Carol Meyer really have fun when they go all out in decorating with light, sound, and motion for the Holidays! Some décor items that are readily visible in this video (from left to right) are: 6 large pole-trees, our FM radio sign, 30 ornaments (30-50 feet) up in the north locust tree, 3 small pole trees, a mega tree with an animated center pole, a small fence connected to an arch/arbor, a sixteen-snowflake cascade in our south locust tree -- along with a dozen hanging ornaments, our lit waterfall feature, a small leaping arch, a multi-colored garland affixed to our south rail fence! ALL lights are light-emitting diodes or LEDs! We Christmas light fanatics hope that our computer-controlled and choreographed LEDs provide an audio-visual, holiday-cheer treat for you viewers out there! Thanks again for watching and "listening" to our glittering LEDs. More videos to come! --since you haven't yet seen the north side of our highly/overly decorated large corner lot.

Winter Wonderland by Alexia Phillips. This video was shot from across the street (Adams) and shows most of the LEDs affixed to our house, locust trees, and front yard. To us, this view creates a dazzling, "living wall" of colorful animations and appears, at times, like a fireworks display. Most of our non-traditional holiday tunes have a strong beat which made it relatively easy to sequence with the songs or instrumentals. Our LED lights are programmed and synchronized to turn on and off by using a HP PC and a set of 7 controllers from the Light-O-Rama company. For each minute of animation synchronized to Holiday music, we spend about two hours to sequence 112 LOR channels that control our 60,000 multi-colored LEDs! You see about 40,000 of these LEDs in this particular video! The upbeat, techno/remix, more up-to-date holiday music we select to play is a valuable part of our nighttime spectacle on Adams Street -- much to the delight or dismay of our visitors and neighbors! Thanks for watching! We hope our elaborate lighting/musical schemes bring you some holiday cheer and fond memories. Visit us again by Googling: kimball ne christmas
