Christmas Lights Really Pay Off When The Sun Goes Down

This was one of winning entries in our neighborhood's holiday light decorating contest.


People installing christmas lights is a common sight in Canada during early winter.


You'll witness many people up on step ladders, draping strings of lights off of roofs and around the branches of trees.


This activity is at its peak during the weekends of late November and early December.

The idea is to get your christmas lights installed before the cold weather sets in.


Installing them is much easier when temperatures don't require you to use your bulky winter gloves.


While it remains a mostly do-it-yourself activity, some people now call in the professionals.


More and more companies are now offering custom holiday light installation and/or animation.


These services are beneficial to people who don't have the time, or for those who aren't comfortable climbing a tall ladder.


If you are interested in seeing the results, here are some pictures of christmas lights in snow:

Videos of Christmas Lights:


In 2005 this wildly popular viral video circulated around the internet. It features custom animation and lighting design by Carson Williams, an American man from the state of Ohio.


This is probably the most elaborate display of Christmas lights that you will ever see.




Here is another video which fits the same theme. This time, the interior of a Canadian shopping mall in Toronto, Canada is decorated using a similar technique.
