The display has long beaten the halfway milestone, and is three quarters of the way to completion.

Also during the mists of assembling the show, a fantastic discovery was exposed. What is this discovery you say? Well, new neighbours to Ryan's Christmas Lights, Phil and Pam, have their very own Christmas lights show. Why? Just like me, they get a whole load of joy out of seeing the smiles of cheerful children exploring the display, excited to the max.

Ryan's Christmas Lights 2006 has taken an unexpected expansion backwards, in order to give the impression that both Christmas displays actually one gigantic light show for everybody, both young and old, to enjoy. With Phil's electrical knowledge and my computer skills, expect to be surprised by the awesome displays - they are NOT to be missed this Christmas season!!

Ryans Christmas Lights 2006 Completeness - 4500/6100 lights.

This weekend marks the beginning of the official assembly for Ryan's Christmas Lights 2006. All major cabling have been installed for the season! The computer soundtrack has also been entirely completed ready for this year. The display's address will be published closure to the date, so keep clicking back!

Ryans Christmas Lights 2006 Completeness - 1000/6100 lights.

Approximately $180 spent today in preparation for this year's display. 500 more lights, and all LED. I am now guestimating that this year's display will contain around about 5800 lights.
The Credit Union Christmas Pageant is only a couple of weeks away, and this means the display will start to be assembled outside very, VERY shortly! Isn't this exciting?

In the next month or so I'll need to spend about $200 on Bright LED lighting for the roof and some of the garden - I have decided that I should start making the move to full LED, as the reliability and lifespan of these products is much higher, with the electricity costs lower. I could be a little short for cash, but let's hope it will be ok! I'll need to get two sets that are 8 metres long ($25) and three sets that are 10 metres long ($35 each). I've also sent out letters to the council and television stations regarding the 'Christmas Lights Adventure'. Hopefully they can help the adventure succeed by helping to advertise it.
