Yeah, putting "Christ back into Christmas", besides the original form of christmas has nothing to do with christianity and existed before it, but yeah, I'm sure Jesus just loves to see light shows and people spreading hatred towards gays etc, why bother actually loving and helping others, I'm sure it'd just bore the hell out of your God... right?
@Hetel ou must be a really sick twisted hypocrite to have to stoop to the level of turning my nice Christmas lights display into an angry gay bashing argument for whatever psychological issues you are suffering from. Where on earth did you even come up with that nonsense about gay bashing. I'm trying to spread peace love and joy, and you barge in with your chants of hatred. You are what's wrong with this world. I pray for your poor depraved and damaged soul.
I am enjoying the irony of trying to put the 'Christ' back into 'Christmas' by essentially making a big advert for a multinational, capitalist, and arguably evil company. Lovely lights though!
This is suppose to be synchronize to the music or just dancing lights? Because I'm not seeing any synchronization except by chance. Still, a very nice display of lights!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing with us the spirit and joy of Christmas. Don't let the trolls bring you down, they are coming from a bad place and don't know how to be different. Cheers!
IS it just me or is there zero organization to the positioning of the lights? dont get me wrong -fantastic work and great effort, but looks a little tacky and over the top IMO.
Don't you just love how a display of Christmas lights can spark such heated debates? Anyways, awesome job, would <3 to see this in person. Oh, and I appreciate the song choice.
Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful display, and it is set to the music very well. I'd love to see the displays in person. But doesn't choosing a song meant to drive up sales for a company seem the opposite of putting Christ back in Christmas? There's tons of other songs that don't say "Coca Cola" in them that have the same sentiment.
OH HOW BEAUTIFUL!! I have just got onto this you-tube thing..how much I have missed! I know what I will be looking at on Xmas Eve....THESE beautiful light displays....AWE-SOOOOOOME..I appreciate the time and your huge effort for others to enjoy, thank-you!
Anybody know how to get a hold of these homeowners? We're casting amazing christmas decorated homes near NYC for a christmas special on TLC and the winning house gets $5,000. Email me at homeshow@semisweetproductions for more info or if you have any other leads!
So did Coca Cola pay you guys to do this or did you just give Coke a free plug out of the goodness of your heart? And besides...there's nothing to do with Christ in this soooo...FAIL!
@spost1986 No cocoa cola did not pay me, nor did any of the other song creators for which I made my lights dance to. As for the part about not seeing Christ in Christmas, that's your fail not mine. The little kids whose eyes light up when their parents drive them by our display would differ with your opinion. The people who drop off food at our food collection box in the driveway would disagree with your judgement and wonder what you do to put Christ in Christmas.
@jeffostroff well said, and God bless you! adding this to my new Christmas Lights playlist, lol, hugs, hope you had a great Thanksgiving and a wonderful Merry Christmas! We Love You Jesus!
@spost1986 Christmas is a Pagan holiday and always has been, leave your christ out of it please. Btw, Your Jesus was born in the summer not winter. You fail.
@phateledelicious 1) I didn't say I was religious at all...way to assume
2) Christmas is a Christian holiday. The date of December 25th was selected because the Christians were competing with the pagan Romans who were celebrating the solstice, but the holiday itself is Christian.
3) There's no definitive date for the birth of Jesus. There's some evidence to support a September/October birth, but the actual date can vary anywhere from about March to October.
@phateledelicious 1) When I mentioned Christ I was referring to the caption in the beginning of the video "Putting Christ back in Christmas." I'm actually not Christan at all. I was just pointing out the irony :)
2) Actually they didn't hijack it to make it more popular. Constantine was a very practical and chose the solstice so they wouldn't have to create a new holiday (holiday = no work!)
3) And yes...Palestine in December = COLD!!! Too cold for shepherds :)

@oliverl89 Just because you're an Atheist and don't believe in any kind of holiday, leave us Christians alone and find something that all atheists love. NOTHING! Besides, you don't get any presents from any holiday anyway. No new clothes, no new bikes... etc.
friggin awesome, but in germany the first neighbour who dislikes it would go to a judge and try to make him say to u, u are forbidden to do so coz ur annoyin ur neighbour lol
A magnificent display of human ingenuity, art and engineering. What does it have to do with God, Christ and the very VITAL Message He came to teach? HOW does this display of light specifically honors HIM? How might it actually DETRACT from true worship of the only True God? Does GOD Truly feel Honored by this? Is there a way to know with certainty if He is the least bit impressed by it or, in the very words of Jesus says: "IN VAIN you worship me teaching for commandments the TRADITIONS OF MEN"?
@gatorgirl7563 This IS the green way. These LEDs draw 1/5 of th epower of regular Christmas lights. With all 65,000 LEDs my electric bill only went up about $80 in December last year.
It's amazing how everyone will argue about the most unimportant things. They are just lights. Great job by the way, Jeff. Oh, & I am Christan. I praise God everyday for sending us His Son, Jesus Christ, to bridge the gap between us & Him, which we caused by our sins. "Christmas" is not in the Bible & Jesus wasn't even born on what we call "Christmas Day". It's just a day incorporated into our calander to enjoy with loved ones, to recognize the Savior who was born of a virgin. God Bless!
Sin and judgment and who's a better christian or not a good christian
blah blah blah

Live life and be good to your fellow man and that includes homosexuals. :D
simple
Don't need a magical man in the sky dictating how to live life from a book written by men for the need to control the masses. That sure worked didn't it?
The irony found here to the synchronizing a light display to a corporate jingle & ending with put "Christ" back in Christmas is tremendous! It was the commercialization of xmas that erroded the traditional "Christian" meaning to a holiday that was initially a distortion of TRUTH from the Roman "Church", which began in 325 AD. How does one put a meaning back into something that was never there from the start? People need to assume personal responsibity & do their homwork & awake from this trance!
Are you serious?? putting christ back into christmas?? Do you realise that coca cola is who made santa clause big, and red and white because it fit their colour scheme.
Coke is the number one cause of obesity in the world today. Jesus and Coke are chalk and cheese.
I just think it is a cool light show. I dont believe in god. There is no bearded man in the sky that will grant you wishes. So what, it is still christmas and i still celebrate it, but i doesnt mean i believe in jesus or god...
man this was sweet and all but does everyone seriously need to attack someone who put time and effort into something they strongly believe? Good for you man from one Jesus lover to the next
@allenamericans A Half dozen teens help Mon-Wed before Thanksgiving and it is 75% up by that weekend. We rent a cherry picker. The rest of Advent calendar time I’m adding lights to our display, at a rate of 500-1000 lights per day.
GREAT light show!!!! Thanks for all ur hard work!! ignore all the bible thumpers below who blindly follow some man made up religion based on a book written by man to control mankind. Yes Christmas may have started as a christian holiday but thank God thats changing!! All organized religions believe God created humans yet christians think the only way he could get his son on earth was to jack up some virgin! The good ur doing will not go unrewarded and don't let these fools get u down!!
It is apalling to me that people have nothing better to do than attempt to bring the deviseness of satan into everythying. Leave it alone and be thankful tha you have the ability to even see something of beauty.
I think your display is enjoyable and beautiful!! Christ will always be in Christmas for me......but a beautiful light display no matter if it's a religious song or not is magical to see!!! Thanks for sharing!! Merry Christmas!!
Keep in mind folks, Christma slights are inherently non-Christian, so are Christmas trees, which Christians and pagans also decorate with. But it's the spirit of what's behind that work that matters. Everyone who complains about this video does not see the kids who drive up and a smile is put on their face. Those who don't have their fatih in Christ (although they may claim they are Christians) will never see Christ in it, because they don't know Christ to begin with.
@jeffostroff that is the most retarded thing i have ever heard. just because of lights someone can't be a true Christian and see the meaning of Christ in Christmas? they're just lights!
and lets not forget that most every corporation Coca Cola included is composed of thousands of loving caring family raising ppl who wish the best for all, as everyone watching this does (hopefully). It put a smile on my face and I'm happy to see it- Coca Cola has done great commercials sung by rock groups, great 'videos' since the 60s which I remember. fond memories - of times when it wasn't cool to be cynical ALL the time ;)
I am a christian and I'm sorry but having a huge light show in your front yard sponsored by Coca Cola isn't putting Christ back into Christmas nor is it reaching out in my opinion. Sorry but I have to agree with everyone else on this.
@heybigalbobishere That's because you're not a Christian. If you were you would not troll people's YouTube videos with false claims of Coke Sponsoring me. You fail to see Christ in Christmas, as our reaching out helps the poor and feeds them, putting Christ in Christmas. Your form of reaching out takes Christ out of Christmas. If you spent as much time serving the poor this season as you do criticizing the work of other Christians, earth would be better off. It's one of 23 songs get over it.
@jeffostroff Jeff, don't get your feelings hurt because someone fails to see how your light show puts Christ back in Christmas. On your very first reply you judged him saying he is not a Christian and the Bible plainly states, "Judge not, least ye be judged." I am sorry to say but it is so called Christians who push people AWAY from Jesus more than any other group on this planet because of the way we act. I am not criticizing you for anything but I fail to see it as well. Perhaps a manger?
@atch2824 I was not judging him, I was calling him on his sin, which Christians are to do with one another. There is a line between informing someone they have sinned, and just plain judging with prejudice. Putting a manger out or a cross does not make someone any more Chist than one who does not. But anyway we have been looking for a good LED based rope light NAtivity scene. All the ones out these are still incandescent and we are 100% LED. Still looking!
@jeffostroff i love what you've done here. definitely puts me in the christmas spirit :) all these trolls need to relax. the whole reason for putting up the lights is the spirit of christmas. the lights represent the spirit of christmas in a wonderful way. keep up the great work jeff :)
@jeffostroff I love the light show and I am a christian. I believe in what your doing and appreciate you making everyone aware of how important it is to keep Christ in Christmas. JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON. God Bless You on this most miraculous day!!
@jeffostroff I think it's a great show and very entertaining and if you are collecting food/donations for the poor then you are doing well. Take care and have a happy and safe Christmas!!!
@heybigalbobishere - The lights are absolutely beautiful, and for the children it's magic. Too bad people like you, who claim to be Christian (but don't have a clue what it is to be a real Christian) can't see this through the eyes of a child. This display does absolutely NOTHING to detract from the real meaning of Christmas, and if you can't just enjoy the display, get the hell out of the way so that those of us who do don't have to listen to your whining!
@heybigalbobishere Agreed. If "putting Christ back in Christmas" was his goal, getting a major corporate sponsorship and DECKING out the front of his house with a synchronized LED light show. haha! I mean COMON that is QUITE far from "putting Christ back in Christmas". If you REALLY wanted to accomplish your said goal: you need to SELL everything Coca Cola gave you, collect toys with the money you just acquired, and walk down to your poorer area neighborhoods, walk around, and give gifts out.
@heybigalbobishere Who cares what you think or that you're a Christian? It's irrelevant. A lot of human effort and consideration went into this and I'm sure the children were excited to see it. That's relevant.
You know, this shouldn't be about whether or not this guy is putting Christ in or taking Christ out of Christmas. It's about doing something that he enjoys, and spending an awful lot of time doing it, and spreading good cheer to everyone. If you're going to bash him, then go to EVERY OTHER Youtube video that doesn't explicitly have a song of worship in it and make your comments there too.
Jeffo -- great job on the lights and the video. It looks great!
Darkover1981 woke up on the wrong side of the crack pipe this morning. Ohhh, I'm sorry others can be happy while you suckle from the nipple of sadness! Merry Christmas to all- It was beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
Hypocritical non-Christians judge others hard work. Those who ride in on white horses pass judgment fail to see Christmas spirit. We do it for kids who love it, get out of their cars and commune with us, look through our telescope, we collect food/donations for the poor. Those who judge me fail to see Christ in Christmas, for they do not know Christ. Christ said: "You Hypocrite! Pull the log out of your own eye that you might see clearly to pull the spec out of your brother’s eye.”
It makes me laugh, All the Christians complaining about not having a religious song in the light show. The guy who did this show has given the xmas spirit to more people then any Christian... Xmas is no long about religion. Its about good will of humanity. Jesus who?........................

It was a feast that combined the harvests end and 2 other holidays...
it became one big long party and of course it got a little wild,
the church found a way to force them stop behaving like heathens!
The church had always considered Jesus' date of birth to be in March, and acknowledged it then, But they decided to make it Dec. 25 to coincide with the big fiesta! So Christ came later, the party came first! drink up
I found this video rather sad, for one thing you used a tune associated with a corperation who will not use the words "happy christmas", just incase they upset the PC brigade, but still use the christmas experience to sell their drink. You say happy holiday to me and i tell you to **** off, thats why i now use fruit juice as a mixer, coca cola can shove it's double standerds up it's arse.
Do you think they had that in mind when choosing the song to use? No. This is just you having a rant about Coca Cola. Go and find the actual Coca Cola xmas holidays advert on youtube and bitch about it there.
@trippytrucker Of all the songs to use they pick the coca cola song, just goes to show how brainwashed americans have become without knowing it. If it wasn't for coke christmas would not exist, what would they do without a brand name, think for themselves.
@trippytrucker You seem to have missed the commercialisation by the corporations of christmas, to some people christmas has nothing to do with religion, it's all about brand names.
Well since I'm an atheist, I don't believe in 'God' or 'Christ' so this holiday means nothing to me, yet I do like seeing xmas lights hence why I watched this video. But I do believe corporations have corrupted this to the point where xmas has nothing to do with religion, I see Muslims putting decorations and special offers in their shop windows to encourage sales.
@trippytrucker Which is why i said of all the songs, or carols, they picked the commercial song of coca cola. Because to some people christmas has to have a brand name attached, otherwise it's just a long weekend.
If only you had a model coke truck with the holiday lights on a track rolling around while the lights light up as it went by,but still this is pretty epic 2 thumbs up
Great display, but it would of been better if it built up bit by bit, instead of seeing all the lights at the start. Have it build up, lighting up sections as the song builds.
The lights are really cool. However, the music is not good. Did the owner of the house work out a deal with Coco Cola? That is the only reason I can see the use the music. The acoustic guitar is nice though.
Yeah, putting "Christ back into Christmas", besides the original form of christmas has nothing to do with christianity and existed before it, but yeah, I'm sure Jesus just loves to see light shows and people spreading hatred towards gays etc, why bother actually loving and helping others, I'm sure it'd just bore the hell out of your God... right?

The irony found here to the synchronizing a light display to a corporate jingle & ending with put "Christ" back in Christmas is tremendous! It was the commercialization of xmas that erroded the traditional "Christian" meaning to a holiday that was initially a distortion of TRUTH from the Roman "Church", which began in 325 AD. How does one put a meaning back into something that was never there from the start? People need to assume personal responsibity & do their homwork & awake from this trance!

Are you serious?? putting christ back into christmas?? Do you realise that coca cola is who made santa clause big, and red and white because it fit their colour scheme.
Coke is the number one cause of obesity in the world today. Jesus and Coke are chalk and cheese.

All organized religions believe God created humans yet christians think the only way he could get his son on earth was to jack up some virgin!

Keep in mind folks, Christma slights are inherently non-Christian, so are Christmas trees, which Christians and pagans also decorate with. But it's the spirit of what's behind that work that matters. Everyone who complains about this video does not see the kids who drive up and a smile is put on their face. Those who don't have their fatih in Christ (although they may claim they are Christians) will never see Christ in it, because they don't know Christ to begin with.

and lets not forget that most every corporation Coca Cola included is composed of thousands of loving caring family raising ppl who wish the best for all, as everyone watching this does (hopefully). It put a smile on my face and I'm happy to see it- Coca Cola has done great commercials sung by rock groups, great 'videos' since the 60s which I remember. fond memories - of times when it wasn't cool to be cynical ALL the time ;)

I am a christian and I'm sorry but having a huge light show in your front yard sponsored by Coca Cola isn't putting Christ back into Christmas nor is it reaching out in my opinion. Sorry but I have to agree with everyone else on this.
heybigalbobishere 1 year ago 6
@heybigalbobishere That's because you're not a Christian. If you were you would not troll people's YouTube videos with false claims of Coke Sponsoring me. You fail to see Christ in Christmas, as our reaching out helps the poor and feeds them, putting Christ in Christmas. Your form of reaching out takes Christ out of Christmas. If you spent as much time serving the poor this season as you do criticizing the work of other Christians, earth would be better off. It's one of 23 songs get over it.
jeffostroff 1 year ago 15
@jeffostroff Jeff, don't get your feelings hurt because someone fails to see how your light show puts Christ back in Christmas. On your very first reply you judged him saying he is not a Christian and the Bible plainly states, "Judge not, least ye be judged." I am sorry to say but it is so called Christians who push people AWAY from Jesus more than any other group on this planet because of the way we act. I am not criticizing you for anything but I fail to see it as well. Perhaps a manger?
atch2824 1 year ago 5
@atch2824 I was not judging him, I was calling him on his sin, which Christians are to do with one another. There is a line between informing someone they have sinned, and just plain judging with prejudice. Putting a manger out or a cross does not make someone any more Chist than one who does not. But anyway we have been looking for a good LED based rope light NAtivity scene. All the ones out these are still incandescent and we are 100% LED. Still looking!

@heybigalbobishere - The lights are absolutely beautiful, and for the children it's magic. Too bad people like you, who claim to be Christian (but don't have a clue what it is to be a real Christian) can't see this through the eyes of a child. This display does absolutely NOTHING to detract from the real meaning of Christmas, and if you can't just enjoy the display, get the hell out of the way so that those of us who do don't have to listen to your whining!
macdesignguy 1 year ago
@heybigalbobishere Agreed. If "putting Christ back in Christmas" was his goal, getting a major corporate sponsorship and DECKING out the front of his house with a synchronized LED light show. haha! I mean COMON that is QUITE far from "putting Christ back in Christmas". If you REALLY wanted to accomplish your said goal: you need to SELL everything Coca Cola gave you, collect toys with the money you just acquired, and walk down to your poorer area neighborhoods, walk around, and give gifts out.
irunthe561 1 year ago
@heybigalbobishere Who cares what you think or that you're a Christian? It's irrelevant. A lot of human effort and consideration went into this and I'm sure the children were excited to see it. That's relevant.

You know, this shouldn't be about whether or not this guy is putting Christ in or taking Christ out of Christmas. It's about doing something that he enjoys, and spending an awful lot of time doing it, and spreading good cheer to everyone. If you're going to bash him, then go to EVERY OTHER Youtube video that doesn't explicitly have a song of worship in it and make your comments there too.
Jeffo -- great job on the lights and the video. It looks great!

Hypocritical non-Christians judge others hard work. Those who ride in on white horses pass judgment fail to see Christmas spirit. We do it for kids who love it, get out of their cars and commune with us, look through our telescope, we collect food/donations for the poor. Those who judge me fail to see Christ in Christmas, for they do not know Christ. Christ said: "You Hypocrite! Pull the log out of your own eye that you might see clearly to pull the spec out of your brother’s eye.”

FYI
Christmas started as ancient tradition.
It was a feast that combined the harvests end and 2 other holidays...
it became one big long party and of course it got a little wild,
the church found a way to force them stop behaving like heathens!
The church had always considered Jesus' date of birth to be in March, and acknowledged it then, But they decided to make it Dec. 25 to coincide with the big fiesta! So Christ came later, the party came first! drink up

I found this video rather sad, for one thing you used a tune associated with a corperation who will not use the words "happy christmas", just incase they upset the PC brigade, but still use the christmas experience to sell their drink. You say happy holiday to me and i tell you to **** off, thats why i now use fruit juice as a mixer, coca cola can shove it's double standerds up it's arse.

@trippytrucker Of all the songs to use they pick the coca cola song, just goes to show how brainwashed americans have become without knowing it. If it wasn't for coke christmas would not exist, what would they do without a brand name, think for themselves.

Well since I'm an atheist, I don't believe in 'God' or 'Christ' so this holiday means nothing to me, yet I do like seeing xmas lights hence why I watched this video.
