Hi!
We are the from Western Massachusetts and have been doing a yard display for four years now. It`s a baby compared to a lot of yours, but we`re proud of it...
I`ll say this, we are the only house that has a yard display in this town (how sad)...some people decorate...but it`s not like when I was a kid where you could go from town to town & find a whole neighborhood all decked out.
One family about 15 minutes away from us (by car) had an awesome display with his own fm radio station for years, but they moved away last year.
So little by little we are trying to grow ours...using the Mr. Christmas music/light synch...but just a few weeks ago we lost every tree in our yard, so we are now scrambling to redesign the lighting (w/out our beautiful birch trees).
And cleanup after the storm took time, so we are WAY off schedule this year...
but with faith & a little Christmas magic we will be up and running by this Friday.
Always open to new ideas & suggestions.
Have a verry merry Christmas & light up the skies!!!

Yeah, I know the storm. If you have time to spare. You might want to try to build some trees. Do a search for PVC tree's. That will give you some trees.
Do you have any bushes, light them up. Light up fences. Build some arches. Again do a search for arches.

It's good to have a person close by, best of luck.

Merry Christmas to you as well!

Sorry to hear about the storm damage. Birches always seem to be the first to snap.

Best Wishes in your display recovery! :)

Welcome to the forum!

You know, you can easily modify your Mr. Christmas to broadcast from a cheap FM transmitter if you want. I did it to mine a few years ago.

Howdy jomar718! Welcome to the forum!
Total bummer about ya'lls trees. I know there's nothing that replaces them. Good to here it hasn't dampened your spirits! Looking forward to seeing pics of your display.
