May the Christmas Force be With You

At home with Star Wars...



Holiday cornucopia for charity


A long time ago (this week), in a galaxy far, far away (Newark, CA), one man gave the world a new hope for Christmas, Diana Bruk reported yesterday on esquire.com.

This brave soul cocooned his home in 12,500 lighting channels, 100,000 lights, a 17-foot guitar, and a 19-foot piano (along with a bunch of other instruments).

The beams are so bright he must avoid shining them into the sky so as not to interfere with airplanes.

Best of all, the music director synced the display to a mash-up of Star Wars music.

What do the neighbors think of this cornucopia of sound and fury? Apparently they love it because it's all for charity. "The neighbors are very supportive especially since I use the display to raise money for the poor and homeless through my church," the local hero wrote in his description.

May the force be with you, sir, Bruk wished the homeowner.

Thanks to my old friend Aaron Cross for letting me know about this wonderful clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5dfpe_-Lgg
