We have a gentleman who lives in our neighborhood, and every year he puts on the most incredible light show. He decorates every possible inch of his house, his roof and his shed. He puts Christmas trees and decorations out on the lawn. Everything is covered in Christmas lights. I can't even begin to think what his electricity bill must be.
Every night during the season, a long line of cars pull up to his house. When it's your turn, you tune your car radio to a certain station.
He plays a rotation of Christmas songs, with lights flashing everywhere in time to the music. The last song is Sarajevo. When the song ends on its fevered pitch, the lights all go dark. It's amazing. We've always taken our kids there and as adults they still want to go.
We also went to see them live once and it's a wonderful performance.
