I had extra perm lights and mounting channels, so I installed them on the side of the porch roof facia. The AsaHom brand of perm lights are some of the brightest on the market and they really illuminated the front of the house. My wife has been enjoying playing arund with colors. At some point, we will have to test out the music sync mode with the lights. If it shows promise for Christmas lighting, I could still transmit music since I kept my FM transmitter from the old show. Maybe this will help fill the void left from not running the computerized light show just a little bit.

I kept my 4ft pixel wreath from the decommission computerized light show and will put it above the garage door. I pulled it out this weekend, making sure the lights, controller and programming still worked before re-stringing 50ft of cat5 cable from my basement show computer, out to the garage. apparently my 2 young cats, enjoy Christmas lights. I had the wreath running several times over 2 days, and each time when I came into the room to check on it, both cats were on a desk chair and workbench looking at the lights.

The permanent lights are up. I hired and installer to do the garage and 2nd story eves but I did the porch eve. My wife wanted perm lighting for year round lighting and not sure how we will use them for the holidays. I gifted the lights to her and she didn't care for the old flashy light display. Might keep the color effects pretty siple and check out the music effect with the lights since the controller has a built in microphone. I did keep my FM transmitter and yard sign. So the days of this old blind guy going onto the roof should be pretty limited. BTW, Shine Window Cleaning in Farmington did the install and did a nice job. Bear Lights Studio who I bought the perm light mounting tracsk, recommended them. Without the referral, it would have taken some work in finding companies who do just the installation when the homeowner has purchased their own lights. .

With the computerized light show retired, my wife wanted to put up permanent lights which I gifted her for Christmas. Finally done with some major outdoor projects so can now turn attention in getting the lights installed. I went with a newer brand, AsaHom. A couple pluses from other brands is that the controller has 2 instead of 1 string outlet. The lights also come in screw together section of 12, 5 and 1 bulb sections. Just received a shipment of light mounting tracks and one of the stock colors was a good match for out siding so no painting. You will spend more for the tracks than the lights but will be much better than have bare wires showing. I ordered them from Bear Light Studios. Great communications and were glad to send samples which wasn't the case with some other mounting track companies. They also passed along a name of a local installer who may be willing to work with me on pricing. I was going to do the ;install but have a little ladder PTSD. I road a ladder down 5 weeks ago when the nylon ladder feet, slipped away from the house on new composite decking. Never thought about this since there wasn't any issue on the old cedar decking. So I will reach out to the installer next week and take it from there. I did start making some longer extension cables and running them from the 2 light strings will start, into the garage where I'll house the controller and power supply. The lights will go on the garage and 2nd story eaves. Later I will look at some type of lighting under the gutters on the porch. Since there is only a soffit and no wall to light, will have to find some type of strip light.

s posted last fall, I will no longer be running the computerized light show., but will continue to do a pared down display. Except for the tree trunk lights, much of the yard display will remain intact and may even add a few ;more display item. Just ordered some hardware and will be converting the 8 ft half circle tree that was on the right side of drive to the left of drive and make it a full circle lighted tree. The large tree in the front middle of yard has been removed and no longer having to worry about yard props blocking off the view to the old porch light, I can fill up the front ;yard a little more.

Today I( closed the book on downsizing my old computerized light display. I sold the last of the equipment that was no longer needed. Some stuff sold quickly while other stuff lagged in interest and I just donated it to other hobbyist. I figured if their displays created smiles, then that would be super cool.

I no longer have an expensive hobby to keep me off the streets. I used to do a lot of woodworking, then water garden and koi pond, followed by the computerized light shows. But being visually impaired, it's best for me to stay off of streets anyway.

It's been cold and snowy the past few weeks and I don't care since there's no display to tear down. . My wife never liked "light crap" hanging on her house so I was motivated in getting the display down and packed away as soon as I could in early January. I needed porch roof access to tear down 2nd story lights. Some times nature took care of having a dry roof, other times I had to work at it.

It's been several months since I decided to pull the cord on my computerized Christmas display and come back in 2026 with a downsized, easier to set up display.

It's Christmas eve day and it's the first time I have missed not having the display running. Many families make it a tradition to visit light displays on Christmas eve and I'm no longer part of that tradition, at least for this year. It was always the heaviest visitation night of the year.

Far and away the best list of Christmas light displays in the Twin Cities is the "2025 Minnesota Holiday Display Guide", do a web search, you'll find it. Hundreds of displays and even Woodbury stepped up this year. For the past 9 years, it's been just Holiday Lights of Woodbury and Crazy Lights, now there's 8 or so Woodbury displays listed.

While I hit a mental wall with the old display, I haven't lost the spirit. I just receive a 11 ft Olaf inflatable. I've been eying one for the past few years but since it was sold in 2019, it's been kind of pricey on the secondary market, but found a good price for a new one. I no longer have to worry about blocking the lights that were on the first level of the house so I can now put some larger inflatable up in the yard. Kids love Olaf, I now will have 3 of them. As one of my granddaughters said a few years ago, you can never have enough Olafs.
