Brothers Tony and Peter Beier have decorated Peter鈥檚 front yard again at 2403 Watburne Crescent. Tony said it all started as a way of countering his and his wife鈥檚 season depression. (special to 91原创 Advance Times)

As Tony and Peter Beier were setting up their latest Christmas display, local kids were providing plenty of feedback, all of it positive.

鈥淲e kept hearing 鈥榳oah,鈥 Tony recalled.

And they weren鈥檛 the only ones knocked out by the 4,000-plus lights display.

Once everything was in place, this year鈥檚 addition, several arches of flickering Christmas lights, turned to be a real traffic-stopper.

鈥淧eople come around the corner, and they almost come to a complete halt鈥 Tony told the 91原创 Advance Times.

Peter estimated it took the brothers about a week-and-a-half to set up the elaborate display.

鈥淓verybody cruising by to see it is nice,鈥 Peter enthused.

This year, as before, visitors can hear the Christmas tunes playing from speakers outside the house or on their own car stereo, by tuning their radio to 92.3 FM to listen to it in their vehicles as they drive past.

This year, there are 10 songs playing.

鈥淚t鈥檚 the most we鈥檝e ever had,鈥 Peter said.

The show starts off with 鈥淒ecorations鈥 by Bob Rivers, a comedic song to the tune of the Beach Boys 鈥淕ood Vibrations鈥 with a chorus that goes 鈥淚鈥檓 stringin鈥 up decorations/It鈥檚 drainin鈥 the power stations.鈥

The newest song is 鈥淟ittle Drummer Boy鈥 by For King & Country.

Tony and Peter have been drawing crowds with their elaborate displays on the front lawn of Peter鈥檚 home for five years now.

They also do Halloween, and this year staged their annual show early to benefit first responders.

Tony said it all got started because he and his wife suffer from seasonal affective disorder, (SAD) a type of depression that鈥檚 related to changes in the seasons and reduced daylight in winter.

He started putting up the Christmas lights on the house in early October and it seemed to help, so each year he added more and more lights.

鈥淭hey cheer people up,鈥 he commented.

After moving from a townhouse into a condo, Tony needed more space, so he relocated his light display to Peter鈥檚 house.

Every night until the new year, the music and lights will play from 4:30 to 9:30 p.m.
