House’s Holiday Audio-Visual Spectacular Becomes Miller Ad

It seems our story about the house that explodes with an audio-visual Holiday spectacular which we thought had nothing to do with advertising actually, as pointed out by Charley Brough, does. The house, which is decked out with 25,000 lights and computer-programmed to synchronize with Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s “Wizards in Winter”, had a visit from a Miller Brewing film crew which spent seven hours last Thursday filming this year’s version of the spectacular to be included in an upcoming commercial.

The house, located in Deerfield Township, Ohio, is owned by the Williams family. Carson Williams, an electrical engineer for Cincinnati Bell Technology, spent three hours on each minute of music programming the lights to move in sync with “Wizards of Winter” and broadcasts the music with low power FM transmitter so that passersby can listen on their car radios while they watch the lights. In addition to the video of last year’s spectacular in the original story, you can view the slightly bigger video here.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, some gawkers got in a car accident and, as promised, Williams has shut down his light show indefinitely.

Psychology says the happiest older couples aren’t the ones who “still have the spark,” they’re the ones who stopped performing romance and replaced it with something harder to name — a mutual willingness to be seen at their worst without either person reaching for the exit

Psychologists say the clearest sign someone is unhappier than they realize isn’t sadness — it’s when they stop being able to feel joy in things that used to light them up, but they keep going through the motions anyway
