Chuchla Family Lights

Chuchla Family Lights Chuchla Family Lights is a seasonal Christmas light display that's Choreographed to Christmas music.

Beginning the day after Thanksgiving, thru the Epiphany of our Lord, over 18,000 full color LED lights will dance to the music. The Chuchla Family is excited to welcome the infant Jesus into their lives every year, and wish to share this joy with the community. The dancing lights represent the Light of the World that shines thru the cold winter darkness each December 25 to warm our heart with the

presence of the Living Christ. About the display:
Most of the display elements are created by hand by the creative elves in the Chuchla workshop. The majority of the lights themselves are manufactured to custom specifications and imported specifically for this display. All of the electronics used to animate the lights have been custom built by Jon Chuchla, and designed with the help of his elf colleagues at doityourselfchristmas.com and diychristmas.org. All of the lighting choreography is designed using the Vixen 3 software suite.

We just realized we forgot to put our Olaf! Despite the fact he’s a snowman, he’s not going outside today. We can’t find the plugs under the snow. So good thing he likes warm summers. He can sit in the front window until Mama elf says it’s time to put up the tree.

And yes, the Turkey is inside too. He suffered a thru and thru impairment on a piece of rebar earlier this week. He’s gotten about 300 stitches and some seam sealer and he should be all healed for next year.

Thanks to Papa Elf, Mama Elf, Uncle Elf and the three Little Elves, we were able to get the majority of the show up and running today. Stop by and get your Christmas spirit going. With tomorrow's predicted snowfall, we really wanted to get it done today. We are running the same schedule as usual. 5-10pm every night. 11 on Friday and Saturday.

Unfortunately, we're running a little behind this year. Life has thrown us some curveballs this week and we haven't been able to spend the time needed to get the show set up. We still plan on getting it done, but it probably won't be running this weekend. Thanks everyone for your patience.

We're looking for elves to help us get some decorations up tomorrow. There's still a few trees to be fluffed and a big tree to put up. If you're interested in dropping by, let us know.

Edited to add, anyone willing to hang the stars over the house or hang the strips for the big tree will get a signoff on Camping MB 9b6.

Happy fluffers

We have snow! What a great gift for our last night of the light show. The show always looks so much better with a fresh coat of snow on the ground. Come on out and check it out for yourself. Our snowmen might be keeping warm by the fire, but you can stay warm in the comfort of your own car.

This is the last weekend of the year for the Chuchla Family Lights. The show will run Friday and Saturday evening. So, come on out and make another visit before we start packing it up and storing it away until next year.

We got the new lights up on the rooftop last Sunday. I'm glad we did get it done. It really makes things pop. Next season we'll be updating the windows and doors to match the newer denser look. What other things would you like to see us add to the display?
