Mine is the same as the plan I had for 2015: To not do a display. I succumbed to pressure from the neighbours.

Who knows what I'll get done but currently the list is as follows
-add a pixel spinner
-convert existing incandescant spinners to rgb
-add 2 spiral mini trees
-add strobes to mega tree
-add more of the incandescant fairy lights I have lying around as tree wrappers
-either add a 2nd P10 matrix or enlarge and move the current 1
-make my driveway arch interactive so that people can change it from the existing sequence
-animate some faces onto P10 matrix
-remove last of the 240V wireframe props
-replace incandescant icicle lights on the fence with warm white leds

I want to replace my incan snowflakes. I would prefer to do it with pixels but it might just be leds.

Major project will be to add wireless so that i can add a couple of elements on neighbours houses etc and "glow with our show" capabilities.

Change all my lights for minleon. Swap out my mega tree to a 5m ray tree with 2 2.5m Ray trees.

Full size Santa sleigh

Perfect vacuum forming to convert corflute items into acrylic items.

I'm thinking of:
- Replacing dumb mini trees with pixel strip, and adding a couple more trees;
- Adding a matrix to side fence. Leaning towards P10s but not ruling out pixel strip;
- Coro elements such as stars and/or presents;
- Maybe a 2d strip mega tree;
- FM transmitter and tune to sign;
- Maybe some singing faces


Too ambitious?!

Yes! I would love some candy canes that are a bit more delicate than the coro ones

I am still building items for this year..
But next year I want to redo my pixel mega tree as it was a rush job and I used 2 different brands of string, so the pixels don't line up.
I also want to do a Ferris wheel. I started planning that this year, but I got side tracked and built a nutcracker instead.
