Happy 2025! We are back for another year of illumination-based Christmas joy. Our kids (7 and 4.5) helped us with setup even more this year, which was awesome. We didn’t make any major changes to the display this year, perhaps a sign that we’ve finally figured out how to make this stuff work 🙂 We’ve revamped the 2020 show for this year, tweaking some of the sequencing and taking advantage of the pixel lighting in our front pine trees that we didn’t have 5 years ago.
2024 Show Video
We haven’t filmed the 2025 show yet so here is a look back at last year’s show. We will update this with the current video as soon as we have it!
Music
This year’s show is just under 9 minutes long and runs every 10 minutes. When the show is not running, we have some interlude lighting, a brief voice over from Philip, some background music, and a countdown timer running on the Garage Door Pixel Screen.
For the show, we play portions of the following songs/quotes:
- Quote from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
- Good King Joy| Trans-Siberian Orchestra
- Quote from Christmas Vacation
- Deck the Halls| Relient K
- We Wish You a Merry Christmas| Relient K
- I Heard Three Ships | Rivertribe
- Queen of the Winter Night | Trans-Siberian Orchestra
- Mad Russian’s Christmas | Trans-Siberian Orchestra
- Quote from Back to the Future
- Christmas Eve Sarajevo| Trans-Siberian Orchestra
- (Interlude) The First Noel | Gary Hoey
