How It Started
I started with a string or two of lights on the house for the holidays after my kids were born. Each year I added another element or two to the static display. My initial motivation came from my son, as he was always fascinated by our holiday lights and kept wanting me to put more lights up. In 2009, I added more static elements and an inflatable Santa Clause flying a helicopter on the roof.
I was satisfied with my display until my wife showed me a segment on the Ellen DeGeneres show. The segment featured several houses that had their lights choreographed to music. I was amazed at what I saw and looked up more information about them on the Internet.
I soon discovered there was a whole community of people all across North America, and in other parts of the World, that had similar displays and they were all centered around a company called Light-O-Rama.
