Synchronized Christmas lights are becoming a big deal for some folk. Some do this year after year, getting more and more complex as the years go by. Here’s our collection of Christmas lights set to music from around the country. (The music broadcasts via FM radio so it doesn’t disturb the neighbors.) Not all of them are from this year, but they are all spectacular.

The NORAD site is fabulous. Just before this posted, there were videos of Santa cruising across Syndey then Darwin Australia on his way across the globe.
With many enjoyable holiday projects being nixed this year because of budget constraints and privacy concerns, it is nice to hear of some programs that are going strong. One is the North American Aerospace Defense Command’s (NORAD) annual Santa tracking public service. This year, Santa’s tracking will be taking advantage of Twitter, Facebook and other social media.

Florence Henderson sings an American favorite, The Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire). A video of the Italian Lyrical Choir during a rehearsal of Italy’s favorite Christmas song follows. The Metropolitan Handbell Choir performs Angels We Have Heard on High. Finally, a beer bottle rendition of “Do you see what I see?”

Admittedly, there are some times when it’s flat out impossible to leave until the last minute for a special event, whether it’s a holiday, wedding or something else. But really, if you can, go ahead and plan in that extra day.
