Over 140,000 Christmas Lights Synchronized to Music
No Display for 2015
Why no display?
For nearly my entire life I have been fascinated by Christmas lights and enjoyed every bit of my time sharing my interest and hobby with those in the area. Adding music synchronization in 2011 took my lighting hobby to a new level and I've had more fun than ever seeing how far I could expand this new idea. Christmas 2014 continued the tradition and brought the greatest display yet, but also great concerns for managing such a large commitment from myself.
2014 was a test of my patience with consistent technical issues and seemingly endless time commitment just to keep the display running each night. Things ended up working out with the addition of the new song "Let it Go," but it really made me step back and reassess what my priorities are for 2015.
This hobby is an all-year endeavor to plan, assemble parts, and prepare new songs. Then, when November rolls around I'm pretty much committed to Christmas every free hour I have. These are things I look forward to and very much enjoy, but just can't make time for this year.
So for 2015 I am taking a break to focus on my other hobbies and priorities, things I have put off for a couple years now. All of the Christmas lights aren't going anywhere. They are safely stored away for the next year they are needed. In short time they will be back and better than ever.
It's been amazing to see the appreciation for my hobby from all the visitors each season who come by to watch. Thank you to everyone who has made Lighting Up Paxton part of your Christmas tradition. I hope you can take a break with me and find time to visit the many other light displays in the area this Christmas season.
