My ideas for today and tomorrow are a bit different from the ones that I usually post.  They are a little technical — after all, if I’m the DigiGram I’ve got to do SOMEthing technical!  Right?

But not to worry.  These ideas don’t require great skill.  A little click of your mouse here a little copy and paste there is basically all that is needed.  You can do that.  Right?

When I saw this YouTube video I was delighted.  I guess I still have childlike awe for Christmas lights.  (Or maybe it’s more an awe at the skill it takes to synchronize lights to music.)  I know that Disneyland or Las Vegas have spectacular light shows.  But those are ‘professional.’   This is a private home.  (Maybe they hired some fabulous sound engineer to do the work for them . . . )

So here’s my idea:  Wouldn’t it be fun to do a 12 Days of Christmas or a count down to Christmas by sending your grandchildren a link a day to YouTube videos of Christmas music synchronized to the lights around a home?  I think this this would be another great way for grandma to connect to those grandchildren who live far away.

I know that this idea comes rather late in the scheme of count downs.  (That’s me: a day late and a dollar short.)  You could still send them links anyway.  Or, maybe you could collect links that you like and then be all ready for next year.  (Just don’t forget about them when the time rolls around.)

This is of a home that is not too far away from where I live.  It’s in Pleasant Grove, Utah.

(This is the season of awe and wonderment.  I wonder how long it took to get this all set up . . . and I wonder how the neighbors feel about all that loud music and flashing lights . .  and I wonder how big the light bill is . . .)

• Christmas Lights Gone Wild (I LOVE the music to this! It is Wizards in Winter by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.)
• Believe (This is long — nine minutes — but nice.)

So, add a little ‘techno’ to your holidays.  Enjoy!
