These aren't your Grandparents' Christmas decorations

Every year around Christmas when the houses start getting decorated with Christmas lights I remember how much I like the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's rock versions of Christmas carols.  Why do lights remind me?  Most of you probably already know...

Sometime a while back (I think I was in junior high?) someone decorated their house with a ton of lights and set them to light up in time with one of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's songs.  And then posted the video on the internet (or was it far enough back that it got spread around as filler news on nightly newscasts?  I don't remember).  Ever since then it's been the thing to do for people who have too many Christmas lights, too much money, and too much time on their hands.  The results are often amazing.
