Current Events QTR 2 week 7: Borderland family using 350,000 Christmas lights to decorate home.

Borderland family using 350,000 Christmas lights to decorate home.

  In Mesilla, Joe Novaks house is decorated with 350,000 lights! They all flash at different times, going with the tune of a Christmas song. Each song takes almost 25-30 hours to program, there are eight songs. Joe plans to add even more lights next year! The people who come by to see them really enjoy it, they even send him letters asking if he is to do it again. Whats really suprising is that his electric bill isnt that much because he uses LED lights. He chose LEDs because they use much less power than other lights.
  I think that this is really amazing. 350,000 is a lot of lights! I like the fact that he uses LED lights because they dont consume all the power, where regular lights could drown it. It must of took so much of his time and money just to put them all up. I wish that I could go see it one day.


(I couldnt get an actual picture of the house lights.)

  1. I would love to see this. The one thing that I really love about this time of year is all of the lights.
