Roman Polanski's Shocking Words On Women
Every town has at least one: a resident who loves Christmas so much that he'll (yep, it's usually a he) stop at nothing -- not even astronomical electric bills -- to have the most blinged-out Christmas display in the neighborhood. Check out these crazy Christmas houses, and then Crazy Christmas Houses
There is no possible way Santa is going to miss these guys.

This family wasn't content with just decorating the house so they decided to go for the lawn, too.

The complete lack of snow didn't stop this family from immersing themselves in the Christmas spirit. Check out the Christmas-lit basketball hoop in the far right background.

These guys didn't stop with lights. Oh no, they went on to include a holiday-themed projection in their Christmas house madness.

So many reindeer on the roof, so little time.

I think almost every one is awesome. WTF. It takes a lot of work, and maybe they have kids who love it. When I was a little kid, I would have lost my mind over a house decorated like these. They all have the holiday spirit, so stop grinching everyone. It's cool. I'd do it if I was in the situation to do it!

The only thing this story displays is that the author is a Scrooge. Christmas lights are an untimely tradition. I applaud those who still take the time to make the season festive. They should not be condemned for their commitment.

With all of the lights and trees that are being made fun of, how RUDE, they should fire whoever put this story together. What a way to get in the holiday spirit by putting people down. Whether it was adults or kids who decorated it, still doesn't give you a right to be so rude. I'm almost speechless that they were allowed to post this. Let's see you decorate any better!!

Citizens of this countries need to be educated on what christmas really is about. JESUS!! we as parents need to stop teaching children that christmas is all about the gifts. this is teaching our children and society about greed..
>> Remember who died for your sins, who fought satan, Christmas is about JESUS. it is a religous and spiritual day. people in this counrty need to wake up and realize. the only baby or child who deserves a gift is JESUS

Idk. I don't think the author intends to be mean. Many of aol's (and associate's) writers tend to be poor with the application of wit. I believe the author intended to keep the holiday spirit by showing us extreme decorations, and let us decide which we think are awesome or a bit confusing. I mean, I'm sure many people have walked by in awe of a house... or speechless, because the house has so much going on that you don't know what to think about it. I'm just saying, lighten up people!

I love these displays! Wild, wonky, weird, over-the-top, silly -- who cares?! To me, it's a joyful expression of the season. I'm going back through the images to get some ideas to add to our house.
And Douglas, who's to say that these folks are not honoring Jesus as the Reason for the Season? Remember, he is the Light of the World. Maybe some of these families ARE sharing that message with their lights.
