That's good! :laugh:  I live in a community that has a family who takes it upon themselves to consume a hydroelectric dam's worth of electricity in lights and lawn displays every Christmas.  The worst part of it all is that for the 5 or so weeks they have the display up, what is normally a 50 minute commute off the island doubles due to traffic (gawkers). 

In the town where I grew up, the local college--Midwestern State University--would host this amazingly large and garrish light display that once belonged to a little old lady before she donated it to the school.  She really believed in the saying "everything's big in Texas."
Here's just one of the dozens of displays around campus:  (http://wichitan.mwsu.edu/myclipart/08_dec_christmas_cheer2.jpg)

At least it was just the lights and traffic.  The music was on a LPFM transmitter, so they didn't have loudspeakers or anything.
