You write up got me to give it a try with what I had at home and this is what I end up with
Was short by a couple of pixels but it appears alright
I also mount it on a board so I could mount it outside and not break in the wind

Do you have a photo of your light layout. Was just notified my lights are in the country, so should be there when I head home next week. looking for inspiration

Here is a shot of the tune to sign and one of the 3d printed candy canes form my neighbours drive way. Very happy, easy to read

Finally worked out how to add video

I placed the lights the edge of the letters and then used the light Show Hub https://www.lightshowhub.com/tools/xlights-custom-model-builder to form a model of the lights by counting each pixel and forming each letter as a sub model and then created Groups like Merry, every second letter and so one to do different effects on
As you can see I was a bit short on LED so the letter C looks a bit odd but once the cover is on and you stand back it dosen't stand out that bad, not for somthing made with what I had spare at the time
I did end up hot glue the top on as the keep on falling off when I moved the prop around

So, correct me if I am wrong, you doubled back on the letters once you hit M. One section does the bottom half of each letter and the other the top. With the exception being A and S which folded back on themselves before heading up to Y

That's not quite I started with C on the bottom half all the way to s and the back to m in "Christmas" then to the top of Y to the M on Merry where it double back along the bottom to the m of Christmas where it go along the top of "Christmas" back to C not forgetting the dot in i where it just loops around the dot
I also joined the ends to power blance (+ to + and - to - ) but not the data input
