  UPDATE: December 20th, 2006 - Cary the Caribou has been spotted at the Holiday House and has been scene dancing and handing out candy canes. She was featured with The Holiday House on Dave Benders 12 days of Christmas on CBS 13 news. To view the news clips, click here and select the videos from Day 10.
  UPDATE: November 26th, 2007 - Unfortunately, the Holiday House will not be running this year (2007) as a couple neighbors have threatened legal action due to traffic congestion. This is sad news for all of us. Last year we raised more than $15,000 worth of canned goods for Food for Families, which will now be short this year. We are looking for a new location for 2008, preferably a large commercial location that can sustain the traffic for years to come. If you have any ideas, suggestions or would like to help sponsor the Holiday House, please contact us. In other news, we will be re-releasing our videos with higher quality audio and we will be releasing a .how we did it. video very soon. Please join our e-mail list to be notified when it is released. Thanks again for all of your support and kind words.

  UPDATE: December 13th, 2006 - We have updated our feedback section with some of this year.s comments. Tonight we have completed filming the first 5 songs we have this year and should be posting them within the next week! Special thanks to all of your support and donations, we have collected over 1800 canned goods for California Emergency Foodlink so far.
     Our Holiday House is dedicated to Local Charities and this year we are asking that you please bring a canned good or non-perishable food items for California Emergency Foodlink. Thanks again for all of your donations.

     Welcome to the official site of the Holiday House in Sacramento, California!
First and foremost, we would like to thank the following sponsors for making this project a reality:
  • The Richard Bristow Group
  • Measurement Computing Corp.
  •      Without their support, the holiday house would not be what it is today. Thanks to their generosity, we are able to spread holiday cheer throughout the community, as well as benefit local charities.
         Special thanks to the Trans Siberian Orchestra for the music that we used in our shows. Please visit their website and see them in concert if you get a chance!
          This season, the Holiday House features over 100,000 Christmas Lights carefully synchronized to a wide variety of holiday music. We first introduced this project in 2005 and had an amazing turnout. From busses to limos to people walking down the street, people came from all over to see the show. Some nights we would entertain 500 to 1000 people, and this year we hope to share some holiday cheer with even more of you.
         I have probably seen the show thousands of times by now, and I still smile when watching the videos of last season, thinking of the great memories and long hours it took to get this show up and running. Best of all, I remember how much joy and laughter it brought to people who came to experience the show in person. That joy is what made it all worthwhile.
         You can check out the videos of the show on this site, but they hardly do the show justice. Some of the details such as the laser(!) and other small details do not show up in the videos, and you really need to see them in person for maximum enjoyment.
         If you live close to Sacramento, I encourage you to experience this event in person, as it is breathtaking to see the house come to life before your very eyes. In fact, I still remember the amazement I felt the first night we got all of our equipment working. It was simply amazing to see something so large light up and dance to music.
         Each year we plan on adding something new and amazing to the event, so I hope you can stop by to experience the spectacular Holiday House 2006!

    HELP BRING BACK THE HOLIDAY HOUSE FOR 2008

    Last year's Holiday house was a huge success. But not without a price. It took almost my entire house savings to complete, and with starting a new family, it was a tough decision to make. I thought the location was going to be stationary for years to come, but due to neighbors threatening legal action, we need to move to a non-residential, much l arger location. We hope to make the show as good if not better in the coming year, but already estimate that with a location change, it will have its financial burden yet again. The show bri ngs a tremendous amount of joy and happiness to people all over the world. If you can do anything to help, it would be greatly appreciated.
