History
Christmas 2020 - Year 1 - The Tree
jjdb210 started with a Megatree and a 16 channel controller to control his classic lights. Simple patterns were shown on the tree, along with very basic lightshows.
Christmas 2021 - Year 2 - The House Outlines
jjdb210 added permenant house outlines to his house for year-round usage. This involved adding controllers in the garage and attic. The North Pole was also added to messages could be conferred to the audience. A website was created to be able to "activate" shows.
Christmas 2022 - Year 3 - Flood Lights =
A small addition of some flood lights was added. Some other controller upgrades were made to make setup easier year-to-year.
