That House In Milford

2008 

Well, this year (2008) is going to be an awesome year!  This year we will have

approximately 40,000  lights on the house for our Christmas display.  We are

adding an additional two mega trees to the display and a handmade marquee style sign that spells out Keep Christ in Christmas.  Each tree will add 2,500 lights.  The sign uses 2,200 lights and is two feet tall and over 20 feet long.  It took quite a long time to build.  Last year we raised $2,500.07 for our charity, the Connecticut Food Bank, and hope to surpass that this year.  Also, this year I have released my first book entitled, Let There Be Lights!  A Beginner's Guide to Outdoor Christmas Decorating.  Pick up your copy today in the Web Store.

2007

In 2007, we broke the Griswold Barrier  

of 25,000 lights with 30,000 lights in our display! It was also the first year we used our Christmas display to benefit a local charity, the Connecticut Food Bank, raising $2,600!

2006

In 2006, we had 18,305 lights on the house, just shy of the 25,000 Griswold barrier. 

2005

In 2005, we had 10,000 lights.
