Christmas House Video Is Quite A Sight

Spectacular Light Display Distributed Through E-mail

Updated: 10:23 am EST December 1, 2005

An e-mail video is circulating on the Internet featuring a most elaborate display of Christmas holiday lights.

The house, featured in all its glory, stars in a video that's about three minutes long.

According to the Web site snopes.com, the display is the work of Carson Williams of Mason, Ohio. The musical accompaniment is broadcast over a low-powered radio station so that it is only audible to visitors tuned in to the correct frequency so it doesn't disturb his neighbors.

The video shows a modest middle-class house that's decked out in lights, which are timed to lively, snappy music.

The lights dance and pulsate, and a star beams down to illuminate a Christmas tree.

The lights on the house are on a timer that is set to go off once every hour and are synchronized to the music "Wizards in Winter" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, according to the e-mail.

Williams told WDIV-TV in Detroit that the display is from 2004 and that he's working on another one for this year.

Last year, a Colorado man claimed his Christmas lights could be controlled by Internet visitors from all over the world -- but it turned out to be a hoax.
