It is less than 2 months to Christmas and I have been having fun with my halloween decorations - should have hundreds of trick-or-treaters on October 31st. But that is just a warmup for Christmas 2008, so I have re-enabled commenting on the Christmas Blog. Once again, there will be lots of Christmas Lights along with the zany christmas webcam which should be online by December 1st and maybe Thanksgiving.

Twas the night before Christmas and Santa he found the weather was terrible he could not see the ground. Now Rudolph with his nose so bright was like high beams on a foggy foggy night. Santa he strained and looked thru the night for a landmark or any familiar site. Santa he knew just what to do, I will control the lights thanks to Alek the Christmas Guru. So Santa with his magic you see was able to use the correct IP. Now Rudolph was the first to see Santa inflating Frostee. Now Alek was waving and pointing the way. Santa yelled out you saved Christmas Day

It___s Christmas again!! A time to cherish the beautiful white snow, smiling snowman, brightness of the Christmas d___cor and the yummy candies and cakes! From November onwards it becomes impossible to forget that Christmas is coming. Well to be honest I personally wait for it so that I can return home to meet my parents and girlfriend of course61514______! With the passage of time lots of things about the celebration of Christmas has changed. I still remember when I was a kid, mom use to wait near the phone so that she becomes the first one to pick my brother call. We all use to have a fight as who is gonna be first to talk to him. Then I use to visit my relatives and friends with my parents who stayed near by.But now the net world has changed everything, especially the ecard trend. It___s so easy now to connect with our loved ones especially when you have so many ecard sites! One of my favorite website is LINK DELETED

Alek replies at 23:50 - YEP - I just shut down the Halloween Webcam. It was a ton of fun (especially with the voting for Obama, McCain, or HULK!) and below are pictures of what things looked like from webcam 1, 2, & 3 - be nice to get my office cleaned up. A good warmup for Christmas ... but (yikes!) Thanksgiving is just over three weeks away - time to start setting up!

my comment night not be cheerfull because this is the truth for all you christmas adicts out there. Christmas will not be the same because of the failing economy so there wont be any gifts or decorations bought this year so dont get your hopes up. Im sure not! I know, so Im not expecting anything from anyone.

Dear 21: Christmas will be the same because I will have my family and all of the love and memories that always accompany Christmas. We will have our traditional cookies and chili on Christmas Eve and we will sit together on Christmas morning and read the story from the Bible as a family. Christmas will not only be the same, it will be better as I reunite with family I have not seen in quite some time. It's not about the material things. It never has been.

Mr. G, have you ever investigated controlling your lights with the Light O' Rama system (ref: Carson Williams) ? Just curious..... This question may have already been asked...
Alek replies at 15:01 - Yea, I've been asked that just a few times! It would be cool to do Light O' Rama or similar systems, but those cost quite a few dollars and my X10 stuff is paid for. Plus syncing up video/audio across the web would be difficult and require a lot more bandwidth for the Christmas traffic I get. He put together a nifty show at a nearby mall - see more Carson Williams picture here.

As it turns out,not only is the hulk green, but the Grinch is green also. He folds and fits in your wallet. And with the way things are looking right now, he's already threatening this year's Christmas season. As a matter of fact, China has already cancelled the holiday. It's frightening to hear people who normally go all out for the holidays count how many pay periods they have between now and then. Not to be a downer, but the nativity scene might be the only thing under the tree in some households on Christmas morning this year. So Alek leave your lights on Christmas morning So some kids will have something to play with

While the house doesn't look that different yet, there's been a lot of work behind the scenes as the Christmas setup has been ongoing. A bunch of stuff has been tested (the train has some burnt out wheels) and is now staged in the backyard - another picture. I plan to do a lot of the setup this weekend with the balmy weather and still hoping to have the webcams and X10 controls online by Thanksgiving.

We decided to bring back the HO-HO-HO (in White, Green, and Red) and here's a video of that setup - we'll see how straight it is when it is lit up. I also made some adjustments to the Santa Plane on top of the house and you can see my shadow in the video.

We read a Christmas story to our kids three nights a week. This year we are reading A Child's Life at Christmas time. We watch Christmas movies twice a week. We take pictures and keep a family Christmas album. We really try to encourage and be thankful during this time of year.

The snow shovel was gathering dust in the back corner of the garage, but I finally found it and then cleared the driveway this morning for my wife. For those that missed the action, I've uploaded a short time-lapse movie on the christmas videos page - some exercise is good for 'ya!
Update: I then swept the front yard ... so the HO-HO-HO and Gianted lighted Frosty are visible.

So I wandered over to the neighbor's house this evening and shot some pictures from where webcam1 is located - what a glorious Colorado Sunset! The pictures don't do it justice ... even the ones with the Canon 50D DSLR - bummer the D-Link DCS-6620 webcam doesn't have that level of image quality - mouse over picture #2 to see a comparision.

I really like Christmas. I like all the preparations, I like the songs (even if I'm Not Christian). I like the focus and family and hearth. And I think its kinda nostaligic maudlin sentimentalism - a longing for a time that never existed in my life - for the good old days, even for the years where my life was pretty pathetic (junior high). And yet every year I'm drawn into it - the Christmas season - once again. Do I ever obtain what I'm longing for - family the way it used to be - which was a mixture of parental fighting of, of parental favorites, and yet I had my whole life ahead of me, and I had security. I suspect I must get some small token of what I'm longing for, or would I spend so much time & effort pursuing this.

Hey guys, I appreciate the support, but everyone is entitled to their opinion, so I'd just let it go. I think what #372 didn't realize is that the concept of controlling someone's Christmas Lights over the Internet is over-the-top ... so the web design is also - D'OH!
Speaking of stuff that stirs people up, some people complain about how the Christmas Display uses soooo much electricity. They must not scroll down below the webcam images where I provide a complete Cicuit Layout and Electrical Analysis. It ends up being a couple of bucks a day ... and even better for the Al Gore's of the world, I use Wind Power plus did a Carbon Offsets ... so we're talking Wind-Powered, Carbon Neutral Christmas Lights - Double D'OH! ;-)

Our neighborhood has an annual lighting ceremony ... complete with horse-drawn sleigh that makes laps around the neighborhood. While hard to see, here's what it looked like in webcam2. And yes, good spot #393 as the Hulk Car was pressed into service at the Santa Wagon so so the Big Red Guy could visit the kids.

While most web surfers focus on the totally free & fun aspect of the Controllable Christmas Lights for Celiac Disease, it also raises awareness and funds for research to find a cure. The fine folks at ChristmasLightsEtc made a generous donation today to the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research. Needless to say, they sell Christmas Lights plus I got a chuckle out of some of the funny Halloween Costumes on their sister site. Thanks you CLE for helping out Celiac Disease.

For me the best gift I have ever given has been a live call from Santa Claus. It is amazing to see the face of a child light up at the mere mention of Santa. I came across a holiday website that plays 24 hour a day Christmas music and has a live broadcast every night of Santa Claus reading a Christmas story. My son and I watch every night to hear such incredible bedtime stories from the super hero himself. When I browsed the site I realized they also offer Live Santa calls. The price was amazingly low and the attention Santa gave my son was unmatched. Santa took his time talking to Bret and even emailed me a mp3 recording of the call. I filled out the order form and Santa spoke with Bret like he had known him for years. My son has not stopped talking about the call and many of his friends parents have requested info because of Bret's experience. Thank you HiSantaClaus ,you have given my entire family a Christmas gift. Charles M.

Isn't a DSL-2740B? I would recommend that for Wireless N usage if you plan to upgrade to N in the future?
Alek replies at 13:34 - It was an el-cheapo WBR-2310 ... no "N" capability, since those cost more, plus the D-Link DCS-6620G Webcams (as implied by the "G") don't support the 802.11N standard. Ironically, the older D-Link DI-524 wireless router seems to be more reliable ... so I switched back to it.

Alek replies at 08:30 - WOW - you noticed that fast ... I just put up a notice on the website about the KFC Holiday Traditions Contest.
Kentucky Fried Chicken is running a nationwide Holiday Traditions Contest and Colonel Sanders has selected the Controllable Christmas Lights for Celiac Disease as a semi-finalist. The winner receives an entire year of finger-lickin' good KFC chicken; Original, BBQ, or (my favorite) Extra Crispy - that's a lot of 15 piece buckets! The winner also receives a $1,000 and while I'm tempted to use that to buy even more Christmas Lights, I will have KFC donate the entire amount directly to the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research which my (crazy) holiday lights have already raised over $30,000 for to help find a cure. The contest winner is determined by Internet voting through December 21st, 2008 so please consider voting for my site and help win a $1,000 for Celiac Disease. So surf on by, tell your friends, blog about it, spread the word, etc. And I can't eat that much KFC, so for sure I'll be sharing some chicken made with a secret receipe of 11 herbs and spices - D'OH!
Merry Christmas and HO-HO-HO! ;-)
P.S. Here's the link with with more info and then cast your vote to win $1,000 for Celiac Disease

It is really sad to read the plights of a lot of people due to the economic situation and their struggle to try and get presents fror their children. Nothing is more heart-wrenching than not being able to meet your childrens' expectations. I wish we can use this situation to give them the biggest gift we can give! Let us take this opportunity to teach them what is real important in life___ it is not the material things, it is your pride and dignity. Do not let them see you borrowing so they can have a new toy. Instead show thm that it is not important to keep up with the Joneses but to act responsibly with dignity. Do not get into a debt to see those little faces lit up. Explain to them why this year they cannot have new toys so they and their parents can live with dignity. These lessons are more important than anything you can teach them. GIVE THM THE GIFT OF TOUGH LOVE THAT WILL GUIDE THEM THE REST OF THEIR LIFE.

Do you know I very nearly had to buy myself some KFC crispy chicken today. All this KFC talk on here had me salivating. When I passed a KFC today the great smell was nearly too much!! I resisted the urge, guess I'll be waiting for UPS to deliver a crispy chicken bucket from Colorado when Alek wins!

In answer to various questions below: Someone should ask the ISS astronauts if they can see my house as they pass over. Yes, we got a dusting of snow today with cold weather next week ... so probably will have a White Christmas this year. The neighbors have some great looking displays (although not as tacky) and there a fair number of drive-by's since it is a public road. I appreciate the "know your pain" comment since yes, going gluten free is a pain-in-the-butt. Thanks everyone that has voted in the KFC Contest.

It's the longest day night of the year ... and also the last day to vote in the KFC Contest - I appreciate people considering my entry. Also, I took some pictures of the Friday newspaper (see blog post #549) - my Mom isn't too keen about me climbing on roofs, so probably good thing she didn't see this! Funniest back-story is my wife was out of the house, so I didn't tell her about the photo shoot earlier in the week ... and amazingly, my kids didn't spill the beans (so I owe 'em something "really special" now). So we were able to surprise Wendy at the breakfast table Friday morning when she opened up the paper to see me on the front page - would have been even better if the picture locations had been switched and she had seen me and the boys on the cover! ;-)

If you like what Alek has done here then make sure you check out the Schwippy Christmas Tree - it's in Alek's links to other stuff or just do a search for a controllable Christmas tree in someones house - and it was inspired by Alek's lights too. Go and have a look, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I appreciate all the congrats on the KFC contest. Along those lines, I thought it might be fun to take a few pictures of the Christmas display with everything turned OFF ... and then "draw" a KFC using an LED light. I took a few more shots with my ultra-wide Canon 10-22mm lens. As noted, the moon has not risen yet, so it's pretty darn dark outside. These are pretty much straight out of the camera with just white balance adjustment.

Here's a link to John Romero's FOX TV segment that they did tonight - they also plan to send their helicopter over the house at O-dark-30 tomorrow morning, so I'll turn the lights on for them. Channel 2 was also out and here is Laura Main's report plus you can watch footage from webcams 2 and 3. My main contribution was being the paparazzi mentioned at the end of the that piece (ooops) as my kids totally steal the show! So I got my 15 minutes of fame Tuesday night ... but tomorrow is Wednesday - trash day - guess who takes that out! ;-)

Originally was 5:45, but they are checking out a warehouse fire so now expected over target around 6:15 - tune in to Denver Channel 13 for live view from a 1,000 feet up! Update: here's a picture from the middle of my yard - best I could do in the pitch black - 300mm telephoto, 1/30s handheld, F/5.6, and ISO 6400! I also shot some video of the TV screen of what the heli view looked like but this is a poor quality video and overly large.

You are a very special person for taking the time to make so many feel your cheer and spirit. I am just down the road in Broomfield and would be happy to bring you a egg-nog or brandy for all your hard uncaring work. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family, may peace be with you, and a very Happy New Year.
Alek replies at 18:22 - Thanks for the kind words and nice offer Joe ... Egg-Nog with Brandy is darn good ... but maybe consider a donation to Celiac Disease.

I had a nice Christmas with family ... and the "giant double hoop basketball machine" is a huge hit with my kids - noise level just quadrupled in the house! I hope everyone else also had a Merry Christmas. And since it is Christmas Day, I have switched back to HO-HO-HO in the front yard instead of the giant rope light KFC. There were thousands of people watching and controlling the lights yesterday (Christmas Eve is usually the busiest night), but traffic will tail off quickly now ... so less Internet surfers to battle for control of the Christmas Lights! ;-)

Alex, it is generally considered impolite to display IP's. I recommend that you hash the IPs. (ex. 67.86.140._________) Also you should really use a look up system that displays the standard IP format. (ex. 67.86.140._________ instead of 067.086.140._________)

As noted on the main page, the christmas display runs until New Years - I'll take it down when we have a warm dry spell. Front yard cam #2 is 7x24 - others are when the display is on. And yes, I did pick up some stuff at the post-Christmas sales at up to 70% off ... but you'll have to wait until next year to see it. Finally, here's a picture of the monster double hoop basketball game that has quadrupled the sound level in my house - it's a ton of fun! ;-)

Jean from Wisconsin sent me a nice note this evening along with a cool banner that I have put on the main Christmas page "Keep up the good work with your displays. Your kids are lucky to have you as a dad. You're making very special memories for them that they'll cherish for the rest of their lives. I've been in the 'kid' business for 30 years as a writer/editor in children's publishing (20 years at Golden Books and the past 10 as a freelance writer). Prior to that, I was an elementary school teacher for a couple of years. It's always great to see parents involved creatively with their kids. I'm looking forward to checking back next year." - thanks Jean!

The lights seem to have taken a good battering. I noticed after I posted the previous comment that there was a lot of wind. I could see the roof lights and pumpkin jack being tossed around quite a bit. Hope they all still work.

Hey Alek, have you took some of the lights and decorations of the garage roof? Did they all break in the wind?

Hey Alex, is this the last day to control the lights?? if so you should extend the time a extra hour.
Alek replies at 17:35 - Per the main page, the last night will be January 1st. And yea, the display is running with a few thousand less lights because of the wind storm last night ... although I fixed/repaired quite a few for the last three days.

Hey alex, are going to keep the lights on till Midnight on your Time zone???
Alek replies at 14:09 - I've extended it an extra hour ... so at least until 11:00PM local ... although I usually watch the Midnight Ball Drop in New York City (at 10:00 PM here) and then hit the sack shortly thereafter ... plus may take the family skiing on New Years Day.

Christmas 2008 is officially over as this was the last night for the lights and X10 controls. It should be sunny and hit 60°F tomorrow before a winter storm comes in the next day ... so I'll be taking everything down PDQ - see webcam2 for live action. I'll be turning off comments on the blog next week, so now is your last chance to chime in for this holiday season.

hey Alek. I was wondering, the show this year was fantastic, really! so I'm not saying it wasn't. but perhaps for 2009 you should look at changing things up a little? surprise us in 09 with someone totally unexpected! Along with what you bought that's new.. make some surprises for us when the cameras turn on! shake it up a little, have some fun with it! ya know??

Man, this time of year is always the most depressing since it's cold, dark, and holiday-less until spring and even when spring comes, here in Illinois it remains cold until the beginning of May! Oh well, two months until baseball spring training and "only" 11 months until the holiday season returns. Happy 2009!

I am not happy with cold days and I wish it would stay light out longer. I am looking forward to spring and your Christmas lights in 2009.

Alek replies at 08:52 - There is a composite snapshot of what the christmas webcam page looked like in 2008 - from the raw data, max number of viewers was 4,132 on Christmas Eve - lotta eyes looking for Santa! We've only had KFC once, but have already given away a 1/3 of the coupons.
