It's time for another year of Christmas Fun. While the Halloween Decorations are still up (along with the controllable webcam), that's all a warmup for Christmas and so commenting is turned back on over here. I expect the christmas lights webcam to be live by December 1st and maybe Thanksgiving. Below is what the display looked like last year and there will be some new things for christmas 2007 ... most notably, Hulk's twin brother - SMASHING, 'eh?!? ;-)

I'm taking down the The Halloween decorations and have shut off the halloween webcam ... so Halloween/2007 is over. It was again a ton of fun - over 200 trick-or-treaters came by the house and if you missed it, watch the time-lapse movies. Web surfers from 109 countries joined in on the fun along with listening to the free halloween music. All-inall, a good warmup for Christmas!

i cant belive both the fan in my inflatable pumpking and santa have broke in the same year any ideas how tio fix alek thanks
Alek replies at 11:57 - Unless there is something obvious (like a fuse, wire burned, etc.), those probably aren't fixable. I've only had one fan truly go bad on me ... so I did some "Open Fan Transplant Surgery" and Elmo provided his to the Skull for Halloween - will have to switch 'em back in the next week or so.

Alek, any idea of how many/much donations for Celiac received as a result of the Halloween Cams?
Alek replies at 13:26 - I don't see the donations since they go directly to the University of Maryland ... and according to them them, it was over $500 for the month of October. Would be nice if it was more (you can donate now), but Halloween is the warmup for Christmas ... so hopefully things will pick up in December.

Alek replies at 21:11 -
There are a fews "step-down voltage bricks" in the Christmas display ... and yea (next to wind) water is the biggest challenge since it can trip the GFI's. I try to shelter and/or elevate stuff, but it's not always possible - just one of the many real-world challenges.

The total raised for the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research passed $20,000 yesterday with two $1,000 donations - thank you Andrew Batson at Brass Key and Maria Sutorik at Bronner's Christmas Wonderland. What a great way to start off the Christmas season - consider adding your direct donation too. And WOW - everyone is chomping at the bit in anticipation for Christmas/2007 ... but you are going to have to wait a couple of weeks. The webcams (and X10 controls) should go live after Thanksgiving - at least that is early this year ... HO-HO-HO! ;-)

As a followup from post #38, Kyle did darn well at the Cub Scout Boat Regatta, coming in second. He might have won if he had focused more on providing wind power to the boat rather than looking at how his opponent was doing! ;-)

High of 70°F predicted Monday before a cold front comes in Tuesday with possible snow on Wednesday. So I'll be making a big push tomorrow to put up some outside stuff with help from Dirk-n-Kyle who have no school this week. One thing you won't see for Christmas this year is the Grim Reaper's I picked up the day after Halloween (50% off!) ... you'll have to wait until 2008 to see them in action. Webcam1 was installed at the neighbors house yesterday, so I'll probably turn it and webcam2 on for a bit when I'm working in the yard.
P.S. Nick/#88: There are two blue globes hanging from the far left/right sides of the house - no double moon.

Alek replies at 15:15 - I was setting up the train above the garage ... time-lapse video added to the Christmas Videos page. Because it can get kinda windy, the train is bolted to a wood span, which has a few pavers placed on top to weight it, and then a rope is run through as a final safety measure. While the UPS van/lady was easily seeable in webcam2 (watching the front yard), you can see her briefly in webcam1 tossing the package (replacement oven door) into my garage right at 13:16.

Stop being a retard and understand its not you, but you are a part of an ethnicity that is under suspicion. Same with airlines. That little extra screening is fine by all of us to ensure safety. Don't complain that you are being randomly checked. If your people didn't attack the States, you wouldn't be going through it. Stop taking our country away from us.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. My wife and kids are watching the Macy's Parade on TV and we'll be doing a monster turkeyfest tonight ... with 14 adults and 10 kids - YIKES! And I just received a nice note from Chuck Smith at PlanetChristmas which is THE place to go to learn about holiday lighting. Chuck mentions this site on his Showing Off for 2007 page which is an awesome collection of displays from Christmas enthusiasts - be sure to check it out!

Back again for another year is Stepping Santa! I got him back in Christmas/2005 and the Big Red Guy actually steps up and down the ladder ... about a bazillion times during the holidays. He's under X10 control, so if you want to give him a break, turn zone #7 OFF. On the other hand, he could lose a few pounds, so turn #7 ON to give him a workout! Kyle (with the X10 remote in his hand) says this is his favorite thing in Santa's Workshop.

Yea, it's a bummer the sun doesn't go down earlier for the UK and other European visitors. I'm still putting stuff up, so maybe sometime next week or so I'll turn things on early ... but it doesn't really look good until it is dark - perhaps on a cloudy day. I'll announce it beforehand.

BTW, some folks complained in the IM's last night that Elmo/SpongeBob wasn't working on zone #5. Turns out I had 'em mis-wired and they was on zone #6 ... this is fixed now! ;-)

Roger what last two posters said - above the garage roof is the 4' inflatable Homer and Santa - I left those pluged in. However, I unplugged 8' Elmo and Homer Simpson plus the 12' Santa that are in front of the garage. These get tossed all over the place in high winds ... but I just plugged 'em all back in for 'ya. And yes, I realize that Frosty (and Snowman Family) hasn't shown up yet - expect him out tomorrow to the left of the giant Christmas Tree in the front yard - see that big empty black space?!? J.G.

Adding some "bugs" to hang down from the icicles. I've also been adding the last final things to the display - note that the Snowman family is already out there to the left of the tree - should look great when inflated and lit up at night. It's a bit breezy this afternoon, but not the forecasted 40 MPH winds ... so should be OK for tonight and I hope to shoot some pictures of the Christmas Display this evening at dusk.

The trick to buying decorations, wherever you are is to wait for the sales just before or just after Xmas. Fair enough you have to wait a year to display them, but it saves a small fortune believe me. I just wish there was more variety in the UK. We've resorted to buying a US converter so we can buy US goodies.

As folks noted last night in the IM log, the garage roof icicles were no longer responding to commands. Turns out we had our first X10 fatality for Christmas/2007. Kinda like Christmas lights that you turn on at Dusk and then turn off in a few hours, X10 devices are designed for that type of typical usage. But thanks to the frenzy from Internet surfers who click like crazy, everything is cycled thousands of times in a night. Needless to say, the X10 guys kinda laughed at me when I asked 'em if I was exceeding the duty cycle and if this would be covered under warrenty. Here's a pile of some of the broken lights/fuses/misc. and X10 Super Sockets from Christmas/2006 - I'll try to provide more updates on the broken christmas lights page. You can't open these up, so I just replace 'em ... and the Roof Icicles should be working just fine for 'ya tonight! ;-)

40+ MPH winds last night and this morning - just about knocked the train off the garage roof despite being attached to plywood which is then attached to a 2x8 and weighed down with several concrete pavers - fortunately, the "safety rope" prevented it from falling. Check out the Christmas Videos of webcam 1 & 2 last night ... and the next morning with the train almost off the roof. The jitter in webcam1 is due to the winds bouncing the webcam enclosure around.

Friday's freezing rain/snow is tough on electrical connections and the garage GCFI tripped several times ... so Elmo, Santa, SpongeBob, and Homer went down - D'OH! In addition, there is a ground fault somewhere in the middle of the giant lighted Christmas Tree on the front yard. I've isolated down to a specific extension cord ... but there is 6" of snow on the ground and it's darn cold ... so it's running on partial power. Dry snow coming down now, so hopefully we won't have any more issues and I'll look into things more on Sunday.

I think the answer is that dry snow doesn't stick together, so you wouldn't be able to make a snowman, or have a snowball fight. The other snow does sticl together.

Dry snow is also quite fine, its like powder. :-)
Alek replies at 19:42 - Gill is correct - relates to the water content and temperature. To expand a bit, freezing rain/snow (next to strong winds) is the toughest on Christmas Displays. Because it is near the freezing point, it can melt and water can ooze into the electrical connections and then freeze, providing a conducting path to the ground and tripping the GFCI ... which is doing what it is supposed to. Last year, Colorado got several feet of snow ... but it was dry and the display hung in there ... I much prefer that over an inch of ice.

Just an FYI that the Hulk has a small leak (plus he doesn't like the cold) ... so he is inside under repair ... and warming up! Should be back on the balcony Monday. Garage GFCI worked fine last night, but still have a ground somewhere in the lighted Christmas Tree ... and that's hard to find with half a foot of snow on the ground ... so it is running under partial power.

Also, I finally got around to scanning in David's Wright's nice piece in Costco Connection magazine (click on it for a larger image) - see blog post #160. I bought Stepping Santa from Costco back in 2005 and he's still going strong on his third holiday - Big Red Dude must have gone up & down that ladder a bazillion times!

What are you doing with a broom in the front yard?
Alek replies at 16:18 - Sweeping the snow off of the giant lighted Christmas Tree in the front yard so the lights can be more easily seen - watch the video! Also, I was doing further isolation of the ground fault that is somewhere in there - note that I walk off-camera to the bottom left several times to reset it as I'm doing my testing. I have it down to just a few strands, so the tree is almost back to full power!

I.e. so far, a lotta talk, no walk. So I'd suggest donating that $20 to charity from your heart and because it is a good thing to do. Now if you donate a $1,000 (tax deductible BTW) then maybe we can do something fun/zany on the webcam.

What a wonderful thing you are doing for your children and the rest of us that suffer with Celiac! This is just awesome. My daughter was diagnosed 8 years ago at Childrens Hospital, Oakland, CA. and Stanford, Palo Alto, Ca. She is now 14 and doing very, very well. We almost lost her,so much damage to the small intestine, not knowing what she had, we were even told it was it her head......because she threw up every day. Enough, my hat is off to you and your family and the wonderful work you are doing for all. I just happened to fall upon this website when looking for clip-art for a school project. I will be sure to keep up with you and your journey. Bless you and your happy healthy children. We have some great recipes, and products we use if you are every in need. Happy Holidays!!!!

Hi Alek. How long does it take you to switch all the lights on a night, is it just one plug that controls all the other X10 units or do they each use there own socket on the wall so that you have to go round switiching each one on separatly.
Alek replies at 20:10 - The system is fully automatic and can (and has) started itself up and shut down by itself. There are dozens of outlets (with X10 SR227 Super Sockets) and Appliance & Lamp Modules which are all in eight zones. Read more in the Christmas FAQ.

I don't think it's very fair to pick on the radio station Alice for not donating... after all they apparently haven't said no yet... and you didn't take them up on their offer LAST year, so why make a big deal about it THIS year? I think 10k is more than generous and you didn't take it when it was offered, so to be hateful about it this year isn't cool.
Alek replies at 11:43 - Actually, you are a bit off on your years/details - would suggest reading the Alice 105.9 saga for more info. Bottom line is they "talked" a big story on-the-air about donating for charity ... but didn't walk-the-talk afterwards. Compare that to how a radio station in (remote) Galena, Alaska stepped up to the plate for Celiac Disease. And no "hateful" feelings toward Alice - just a Bah Humbug to 'em! ;-)

Can I get that recipe for the Mojito's? Thanks for a great display!!!!
Alek replies at 23:03 - The super-nice folks at Ling & Louie's Asian Bar & Grill in Northfield Stapleton in Denver, Colorado (who have a great Gluten-Free menu) were nice enough to share the recipe.
You can do in a martini shaker, but for this larger crowd, I muddled a bunch of rasberries, freshly squeezed lime juice, and simple syrup in a pitcher. Fiddle with the proportions until you think there is a reasonable balance of flavors.
Add mint - the stuff I had was lame, so had to add what I had - Peppermint Snapps - mint extract would have probably been better ... but I'll try again in the summer when the Mint is more fresh. Again, add enough to balance the flavors. Then add an equivelent amount of Bacardi Razz to the pitcher. You can do all of this beforehand. One boo-boo was the Mint we added turned a limp green, so we had to strain it out - not easy with the rasberry bits there, so had to use a fork!
For the party, add anywhere between 10-25% (depending on how that person likes it) of that mix to soda water - use 7UP if you want super-sweet. Add ice and garnish with fresh mint and a couple more rasberries for that red/green look. Optionally "Razz" it with a float on top if they want it fortified! Since it's basically a spritzer, it's more a summer drink ... but we liked the color and wanted people to be able to drink w/o getting hammered as cocktails can be a bit strong. Be sure to serve in a clear glass - was a real winner for us and I thought they were darn good if I don't mind saying so myself! ;-)

I heard you on the radio this morning and was very interested in what you are doing for Celiac research. My daughter also has this issue and it has been quite frustrating for her. You have to be so careful all of the time, and it is almost impossible to visit for dinner with friends unless you bring your own. People do not really understand how severe these "allergies" can be. I will get with my family this weekend and we will determine how much we can put together to help in this effort. I am looking forward to playing with your lights this evening. I hope your Christmas is filled with family, warmth, and love.

Winds are slightly less strong than earlier ... that's good, because while the inflatables are pretty tough, it's not good for them to get bounced around too much. We should get a few inches of snow - here's a picture from last week of what it looks like.

Alek, I was wondering couldn't you use UstreamTv for the webcams? h t t p : / / u s t r e a m . t v / just remove the spaces. I think that would be a good way to give us live video instead of refreshed JPEG's. So what do you think?

So it's been suggested numerous times that I should require people to donate to charity so they can control the lights. I'm don't agree with that as I want the website to remain totally free and totally fun ... with any donations to Celiac charity to be completely optional. However, I'm debating doing something like if you donate a $100 to Celiac Disease Research, you (and only you) get dedicated control of the entire Christmas Display for 10 minutes - note that the webcams would still be live for everyone in the world to watch ... but only you could control the lights & inflatables. And the rest of the time, anyone in the world can continue to control the lights for free. I don't know if that is a good idea ... or maybe just dumb. So drop me a note and let me know what you think ... and for sure if you'd be willing to do it.

Alek- If you move webcam 3 on Christmas Eve, would you move the laptop too. Also would there be any plan to release the code for the laptop display, It seems so cool that I want to have a go! (I can understand if you wouldn't want to!)
Alek replies at 11:04 - Assuming I move webcam3 downstairs to where the Christmas Tree is, I almost certainly will move the laptop. Just realized I haven't taken a picture of our tree - will try to take one tonight. On the IM/laptop stuff, the code is in various pieces, but the overall concept is actually quite simple. Web Surfers enter text on the web site via an HTML form which the back-end CGI handler writes to a file. Then the laptop simply refreshes that file every couple of seconds for everyone to see on the webcam.

alex why do you upload a differnt picture for the webcam instead of using width and hight demensions to say how big? why use the half image when you have deeminsons
Alek replies at 21:58 - Not sure I understand the question, but for the "three-webcam view", half-size (352x240) size images are shown ... versus full-size (704x480) for when you just look at one cam. This not only saves bandwidth on my server, but also on your browser/Internet connection ... win-win all around!

With all this snow, the boys decided they wanted to build a snowman ... in the bathtub! They filled a big bucket full of snow and I would dump it in the bath. Repeat that process a bunch of times, add a "snowman kit" (picked up yesterday at 50% off), and you have Frosty in your bathtub! And even 8 hours later, there was still a lot of white stuff left.

" First of all, the birth sequence is completely astrological. The star in the east is Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, which, on December 24th, aligns with the 3 brightest stars in Orion's Belt. These 3 bright stars are called today what they were called in ancient times: The Three Kings. The Three Kings and the brightest star, Sirius, all point to the place of the sunrise on December 25th. This is why the Three Kings "follow" the star in the east, in order to locate the sunrise -- the birth of the sun.

Thanks for all the compliments and glad you guys enjoyed the display. I picked up some "mini-lighted Christmas Trees" for 75% off and wanted to see what those looked like in the front yard. Since the webcam is in low-lux mode, it exaggerates the brightness (especially with the snow) and looks like a glowing mass.

My son Dirk took the picture in post #854 with my Canon camera. Here's a still image from the webcam footage - watch the christmas decorations disappear ... and also captured on webcam1.

Hi Alek, Took my outside lights down today in a gale. It took me a couple of hours and I have no where near as many as you. So good look packing them away especially in the snowy cold conditions over there.

Yea, pretty much all the christmas decorations have been taken down ... although probably a few extension cords buried underneath the snow that will surface in the next few days. I've added some time-lapse movies of the entire holiday season to the Christmas Videos. The Christmas Maps have been updated - web surfers from 154 countries came by in 2007. I'll disable blog commenting in a couple of days, so please toss in your last two cents.

Hi Alek, What a wonderful site! I came across it on a link from a 'mod_perl success stories' site and just came back again and again. It really added to the Christmas season! One question - Does it always snow there at Christmas or was this a one off? Have a great New Year

Appreciate the compliments/farewells. Colorado is known for snow #867, so not uncommon to have a White Christmas. And yes James, you must have spotted me pulling a few last things from the snow in the front yard. But most of it is now packed away in the basement ... Halloween stuff on the left, Christmas decorations on the right! ;-)

Alek replies at 16:31 - While it may be 70° in Ohio, the high temperatures here in Colorado have been ~40°.

In addition to the basement crawlspace being packed with christmas stuff (see post #869), some of the larger items are simply stored free-standing in the unfinished basement itself ... even the Hulk Brothers hang out down there! I will probably turn the blog off tomorrow since almost everything is put away.

A LOT of Internet surfers worldwide (154 countries) enjoyed watching & controlling the Christmas Lights for Celiac Disease. I very much appreciate all the nice blog comments - glad everyone enjoyed the show. But all good things must some to an end ... and Christmas/2007 is over with more than $25,000 raised for Charity. Surf on back for Christmas 2008 and Merry Christmas from www.komar.org! ;-)
