The mostly secular holiday of Christmas is most impressively manifest in over-the-top light displays. Jeff has noted $100k+ displays in Arizona, some including scanning lasers, and Bjarne pointed out the best video I've seen of a light and sound show by the Lindsay family (check it out for technical details).
It happens the 2006 Lindsay show started on December 1 ... perhaps videos of it will appear soon....
from their blog
1) The lights will be turned on this Friday, December 1, 2006 assuming we don’t run into any technical difficulties.2) For the first 7 to 10 days, we will be running the same “Wizards” sequence that we ran last year. However, the new additions, built this year, will be added to this sequence.
3) Around the 10th of December, we will be adding a BRAND NEW musical sequence that will be just under 3 minutes. This means we will have 2 musical sequences for this season. We normally don’t begin programming the new sequences until we’ve finalized the installation of the lights, which is the reason for the delay in releasing this. It’ll take well over 40 hours to program this sequence.
4) We hope to have videos of the new show posted on our website no later than mid-December.
