Merry Christmas, Nathan.
That was too cool.... thanks for sharing.
That looks awesome, but am I the only one who feels sorry for his neighbors?
(You can't have Christmas without at least a little ginchiness!)
Happy holidays!
:-P
Merry Christmas, Nathan! Thanks for sharing the video, it was neat! :)

My ten-month-old thinks that's the geatest video, well, pretty much ever. Admittedly his "ever" is not particularly long, but the love was genuine.
Merry Christmas to you and your wife, Nathan!
Here's hoping your fine blog will continue to amuse and inform us as we go into the next decade.
I watched the video of lights you posted, and the Hallelujah Chorus in the Mall youtube vid. Good way to get in the mood.
Best wishes and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all the readers and commenters of Nathan's blog.
Nice video card.
Happy Christmas to you, too!
Merry Merry Christmas, Nathan and to all of you too!
Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.
Thanks for sharing that, Nathan!
Happy Christmas to you and your lovely wife and family!
Nathan: Merry Christmas to you & yours. More people need the holiday spirit, so thanks for the video. Looking forward to your release day of JACOB WONDERBAR, it's drawing closer! Now that should have you break into caroling right there!
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
Freakin' awesome video! Just full of awesomeness!!!
Enough of "Kung Fu Panda".
Have a very Merry Christmas, Nathan.
Is that a real house? Cool.
Merry Christmas to you and Alison, Nathan! I hope your holiday is filled with love.
I wish the same for all of my fellow blog buddies. Much joy to you and your loved ones!
Wonderful! Thanks so much for the link. Wishing you a warm and wonderful Christmas filled with peace and joy! :-)
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Nathan!
Love it when people show their enthusiasm for this season. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!
I feel like being a little grinchy and saying that this is a tad over the top. I'd hate to live next door to lights flashing through the night. Like living in central N.Y. There's some sort of skirmish going on in Melbourne right now over someone who has excessive Christmas lights. All the neighbours are unhappy.
Bah humbug to all and to all a good night ;)
Best of the Christmas season to all and to you, Nathan, and Allison.
Happy Christmas to you too.
That made me feel all peppy, and sparkly and warm. :) Thank you. Now if I can get out of the p.j.'s and take the dog for a walk I'll go spread some good cheer.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Nathan. Thanks for another great year of entertainment. And Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, to everyone here.
Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Loved the video.
You like my house, Nathan? You should pay me a visit sometime. A very long visit. Like forever! MMMWWWAAAHHHAAAHHHAAA!
Neighbors, Josin? What neighbors? I ate them a thousand years ago!
BTW, J. T. Shea said Happy Christmas to you all just before I ate him too. Bah! Humbug!
Nathan, I got a Kindle for Xmas. It rocks... I think that people who don't think they would ever use one, just haven't seen or used one. I've read the Secret Year already.. great book. Any other suggestions. I have found your other suggestions quirky (Fat Kid Rules)and (Secret Year) awesome. Any other ideas?
anon-
Awesome, glad you loved it! Have you read ROCK PAPER TIGER?
I'm with Bryan Russell's ten month old son on this one.
I remember that there post.
