The Griswold House - 12-08-2005, 07:48 PM


I expect to see Clark Griswold walk out of this house everytime I go by. I am amazed by all of the lights everytime I drive by (which is often due to my little girls loving it). He also has some type of ham radio set up inside the house so you can turn to a frequency on your car stereo and listen to "Feliz Navidad" as the lights dance to the music. It is quite a sight. If you live near Frisco it is worth the trip. I know they are not the best pictures because I was rushed. I had about 10 people waiting behind me.

Nobody else on the block can have any lights or it would blow the tranformer! I am ashamed to say we have no lights at all this year. A lot of our stuff is still packed away in a storage room and the lights are in the very back buried. But watch out next year! I'm gonna cause a brown out!

Our neighbors on either side of my house are just like that (gotta get some pics of them soon). Cant walk a straight line thru the yard without hitting something. They all had them up the day after Thanksgiving too! Mine looks like the one next door in that pic. Just havent had the time to get any lights up at all this year. All the stuff inside (tree, lights, garland, train around the tree, etc) is done though.
