I will post new pictures as I build the display. If you have any questions as to how anything is built, just email me.
The Grinch
donated by Fred and Linda Forsythe.
I have admired him for years!! He's getting new paint.
The Queen palms.
The three palms this year have 200 white minis and 200 red minis on each trunk. The tops depend on how many palms are on the tree. Average 100 green minis per branch.
The Coconut palm.
This has 100 red minis on the trunk and 700 green minis on the trunk and palms.
The Tall Queen palm.
This tree is 25 feet tall and has 400 red minis, 400 white minis, and 300 green minis. One must ascend to the top to put the lights on. Yes, it is high and yet it is fun and a challenge to do.
The Windows.
The windows have 100 red minis and 100 green minis times 6 windows.
The Mini-Trees.
Hand made by me, but the idea came from Planet Christmas. They take time to make, but look great when done.300 lights each.
The Manger.
The Reason for the Season.
The Notes.
Hand made by me, as I love music. These really light the night!
250, 500, and 250 lights again.
The Presents.
New this year from Wally World.
The Nutcrackers.
Hand made by me, they are getting re-red-roped and a new paint job. The archway that joins the two is also being rebuilt.
The Sleigh.
Thanks to Gary and Irene for donating this to the display. Santa and a new coat of paint and rope lights added made this come alive. Santa is ready for take-off!
The Spheres.
Hand made by me, these are always fun to put out.Solo cups and a soldering iron with two sets
of lights.2-100 light sets each.
The Wreath.
New this year but purchased last year at the Home Depot. That's when you go shopping after Christmas, unless it is something you really want to have, then you pay the price before Christmas.200 lights.
The MegaTree
The tree this year has 6400 lights. 3200 color and 3200 white.16 channels, one showtime controller. The storm we had, broke the wire support strap that ascends the lights to the top. A new chain link and quickclips and new poly reinforced rope from the depot made for a quick stong fix. The only way it is coming down, is if the pole snaps!
