Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! I would like to provide a heads-up. Many of my neighbors are having or will be having today their family Christmas gatherings at their homes. Subsequently, viewing the light shows might prove difficult at various times over the course of the evening. Please keep this in mind if your plans this evening are to come see the lights. Also, should you opt to come out tonight, PLEASE exercise patience and, of course, refrain from blocking the intersections, roadways, and my neighbors' driveways. Thank you everyone! Have a great rest of your day!

Hi, again, everyone! Just a reminder that tonight is the last night to submit letters to Santa in order to get a timely reply. This will allow for the transit time from the post office to the North Pole and back! Postage is covered, but please be sure to include a return address if a reply is desired. Thanks!

Last, I leave you all with one more video from this year's Christmas show. Thank you to all that have come out to see the lights. I very much appreciate all of the compliments, kind words, and your continued support! Merry Christmas to all of you and your families!

Good afternoon, everyone! I'd like to take a moment to congratulate the winners of the bicycles. Dillon won the gal's bicycle and Zach was the winner of the boy's bicycle. Thank you to all that participated! Merry Christmas!

Hi all! How is everyone? I hope well! Unfortunately, I need to repost these "rules," once again. We are less than a week into the shows and nightly this is an issue that I have had to address multiple times. It is IMPERATIVE that my neighbors' driveways and the intersections are not blocked. I have posted on this page numerous times over the years, including last week, it's on a large LED marquee in the center of my house, and there are large signs by each of the driveways of concern and intersection to not block them. If the disregard continues, I have no other option but to shut down the shows. As previously stated many times, abiding by these requests will allow the tradition of the holiday light shows to continue. My neighbors are very important to me and we need to be respectful to them. Please do not be the reason the shows are discontinued. I thank all of you for your understanding with respect to this recurring situation. Please have a great night and enjoy the shows! 🙂

ALL SHOW DETAILS! Please read in its entirety! It is quite lengthy, but full of VERY important information.

Hello everyone! We are just a few days away from showtime and I am looking forward to it! Below are ALL of the details around this year's Christmas show, but first, I would like to give thanks to the following people for helping to make this year's shows possible. The magnitude of the shows, namely the physical set up, has become too large for just myself to pull off. I would like to extend a huge thank you to Larry Beddow, Brian Bronson, Brian Walters, Amanda Brown and Corey and JR from IBEW Local 668 for helping to make this year's show a reality. If you happen to know these individuals, by all means, extend a thank you to them as well. Without their generosity, things would not quite be the same!
Now the details, rules, etc.
1) One of the most important "rules" that will allow the shows and tradition to continue for the years to come: DO NOT block any of the driveways, the roadway, and intersections. Please pull to the curb to observe and allow traffic to pass through and turn off headlights. Please exercise patience and understanding. We must be mindful of my awesome neighbors!

2) Please keep the volume of the show music to a level that is comfortable for listening INSIDE your vehicle. Again, we must be mindful of my neighbors if we want this tradition to continue for the years to come.

3) You all are more than welcome to record video and take as many photographs as you would like, but please do so from the sidewalks, my driveway, or your vehicles. Do not access the yards for ANY reason. If access is needed, just let me know. I will be home nightly and can assist with whatever need may arise. SAFETY FIRST!

4) Most people who know me know my love for animals and for helping others. So each year I choose two animal shelters/animal rescue organizations for which to collect monetary donations. 100% of donations will be split equally between the two organizations. For the 2025 Christmas shows, I have chosen Lori's Kitty Rescue and Woodhaven Rescue Farm, both located here in Lafayette and both do AMAZING things to help out the critters. Please consider making a donation for these great organizations! I will be out nightly and can accept the donation or it can be dropped in the locked Santa's mailbox. Every dollar helps immensely! Thank you in advance!

5) The North Pole Postal Service is back with the mailbox for the kiddos to drop their letters to Santa! ALL letters received get a personalized reply from the jolly ol' guy, but be sure to include the name and address for the return letter. There is no need to supply a postage stamp. I have that covered. Letters can be dropped in the locked Santa's mailbox located in my driveway from Saturday, December 6th through Sunday night, December 21st.

6) This year, there will also be another bicycle giveaway. It is completely free to enter. There is one 16" boy's bicycle and one 16" girl's bicycle (see attached picture). The entry cards will be located in the clear box attached to the Santa's mailbox. Please include contact information and select the bike desired (boy's or girl's) by checking the box on the card. The entries can be dropped in the Santa's mailbox. The last day to enter will be Friday, December 19th. The bicycles will be awarded during the shows on Saturday, December 20th.

7) The light shows will run nightly, weather permitting (cancellations due to inclement weather will be posted on this page) from Saturday, December 6th through December 31st. My address is 2684 Tristan Drive. You MUST tune your radio to 93.3 FM to hear the music that accompanies the lights.
Show times are as follows:
Sunday through Thursday: 6 PM - 9 PM
Friday and Saturday: 6 PM - 930 PM
Christmas Eve and Christmas night: 6 PM - 10 PM

Last, thank you to all of my guests, those who have made this an annual tradition and those that this may be the first visit. I am forever thankful for the support of my hobby (or obsession) that all of you have shown me. Please enjoy my creation/artwork, love for Christmas, and my gift to all of you!

Merry Christmas!

Good evening all! Just a quick update on the progress. I am about 90% complete with the set up for the Christmas light shows. Things have been moving along nicely. As long as the remainder of the set up continues to go smoothly, opening night will be Saturday, December 6th, at 6 PM. I will post another update prior to the start of the shows to outline the details and such. In the meantime, have a great evening and Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hello everyone! I would like to take a moment to say thank you to everyone that came out to see the lights, all of the trick-or-treaters on Halloween night (over 750!!), and to all that watched the videos from near and afar. The kind words and support are greatly appreciated! However, it is of utmost importance to recognize ALL that made the Halloween lights shows of 2025 possible. Without the help of these great people, the shows just would not quite be the same. As the shows (both Halloween and Christmas) continue to grow in size, it is requiring much more help to make it happen. So... a huge thanks to Larry Beddow and Brian Bronson for their help with the set up over the three weeks and to Amanda Brown, Larry Beddow, Ryne and Sherry Nolen, and Brian and Sabine Walters for all of their help on Halloween night!! It was a great Halloween!

Now, the gear shifting has started to take place- Christmas!! Though I have NOT decided, officially, on a date for opening night, there WILL be the full Christmas light shows for 2025! This year, being no different than all of the years past, will be a new "theme" with new props and music, while keeping some of the decorations and songs that have been very popular over the years. I will post updates over the next few weeks to keep you all in the loop. I am looking forward to seeing you all this Christmas season! Have a great evening and rest of your weekend!

Good evening, everyone! We are just a few days away from Halloween! On Halloween night, we will be out in the driveway handing out an abundance of treats from 6 PM 'til 9 PM (or until the stash is depleted)! Each year, a VERY large crowd comes to say, "Trick-or-Treat!" With that being said, please be super careful driving through the neighborhood as there are many on foot in the subdivision going door-to-door to get their fill of treats! This will also be the last night of the 2025 Halloween light shows. The lights will run from 6 until 10 PM Halloween night. Feel free to stop by with the kiddos! In the meantime, here is another video from this year's show! Enjoy! Happy Halloween, all!!
