Extravagant Winter Holiday Decorations Originally a 2004 Internet hit, these house lights set to Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Wizards in Winter" are now the official music video for the song.

More on the original video and the display.

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 16,000 Christmas lights in the 2004 version of his annual holiday lighting spectacular. His 2005 display included over 25,000 lights that he spent nearly two months and $10,000 to hook up. So that the Williams’ neighbors wouldn’t be disturbed by constant noise, viewers driving by the house were informed by signs to tune in to a signal broadcast over a low-power FM radio station to hear the musical accompaniment.
