Wow, this thing has really gone crazy with the viewers. Let me first start by saying that this is not my house. Regardless of what any of the comments read, this house really does exist, I have seen it with my own eyes and nothing you see in the video is trickery, it’s all real. This display was the work of Carson Williams, a Mason, Ohio, electrical engineer who spent about three hours sequencing the 88 Light-O-Rama channels that controlled the 16000 Christmas lights in his annual holiday lighting spectacular (from Christmas 2004). His 2005 display includes over 25000 lights that he spent nearly two months and 000 to hook up. So that the Williams’ neighbors aren’t disturbed by constant noise, viewers driving by the house are informed by signs to tune in to a signal broadcast over a low-power FM radio station to hear the musical accompaniment. The rough quality of the video has led some viewers to believe it was put together in stop-action form from still photographs, but that is an artifact of the high compression used in the clip circulated via e-mail. Mr. Williams has posted instructions for recreating his “Wizard in Winter” sequencing, and another of his choreographed Christmas light music shows can be viewed here. Carson’s Christmas display proved so popular that it was featured in a Miller Lite beer commercial in December 2005.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
LOL
Ya’know, I never ever remembered the lyrics to the original song….. And this version isn’t helping. xD
I like this version better though. Hehe.
You guys are amazing!
13 million views , wow .. this video deserves it though .
Those guys are straight siiiiik!!
If you listen to this in the summer time you will cool down. If you get this statement like this..
This. was. so FREAKING AWESOME!
This is the only christmas carol I’ll listen to willingly
awesome
Sounds so good with out music
out of this whole song, my favorite parts were when they mixed 12 Days of Christmas with Carol of the Bells then ended with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reinder, then when i heard “dradle, dradle, i made it out of clay”
yo i have been looking for this since last Christmas!!! thank you so much!
Thats amazing
It sounds like TOTO-africa , doesnt it? 
when i first heard this, it was when i was studying in a library. i had the biggest smile on my face and laughed, the people around me probably thought i was psycho…
this is possibly the best musical performance i have ever heard….and i have heard the classics.
Could listen to this all day ^_^
this is sick in a good way
@ninjaconnor92 Definatally planned, Everything is planned.
We were driving home from picking up my sister from the air port a few days before christmas and this song came on. I don’t think we have ever laughed so hard together
A really great family memory.

@OVerLOADING6 Wizards in Winter
@Ventus529 omygosh yes!!! this house is sooo ligit!! my mom is always saying how annoyed his neighbors must be….
now this is how your supposed to decorate your house. i myself love a very lit up house and I’m loving this one. good job!!! three thumbs up!
the neighbors must have hit the dislike button cuz either
1:they couldnt sleep
or
2: their just jealous
I just discovered this and i’ve been on this site since 2006, i feel ashamed ._.
Like this if you are still watching christmas light videos in the summer XD
whats the song?
I know this is very old now but i love the star lights with the string lights coming out of it, can you tell me what its called or where you got it from.
Can’t believe it’s July of 2011, and my daughter requested this a’s her good nite video! Merry Xmas in JULY.
724 ARE JEALOUS THEY DON’T HAVE A HOUSE LIKE THIS
@Gijojolee trans-siberian orchestra – wizards in winter
Thumbs up if your watching this in 2011!! lol
What is that song called?
how do they do that looks complecated
724 people have an opinion that I can respect just as much as 26,252. I like, perhaps, the irony in discreditting these people. Personally, I don’t really like this video. I’m not fond of the Trans Siberian Orchestra either. Christmas isn’t my favorite holiday. I didn’t hit dislike, but I have plenty of simple reasons to. Too many posts on this video about “724 people are faggots for having an opinion.” Just makes you look more stupid when you say things like that. Really. Really. Stupid.
724 people are Scrooges.
@strokes011185
still better than my pedobear statue in my garden with a santa hat.*
WTH was that ?
still not better than my pedobear statue in my garden whit santa hat.
All these years later and this is still one of my favorite Youtube videos of all time. The light sequences with the music is perfect! Many other variations have followed, but there’s nothing like the original. (My favorite lights are the little trees at the bottom front dancing left to right with the star light.
)
i wonder what the neighbors were thinking when this happened
cool!
I’m learning this on piano, lulz
Haha. I like this
@earwighoney1 no im watching this in 2005… >:(
