01:42Our display is a synchronized light show.
01:43I call it geek to chic.
01:44The geek really came out of me because I love computers.
01:45I love animation.
01:46My wife is the chic.
01:47She likes the classic look.
01:48Just ladies on top in a zigzag pattern.
01:49Aaron loves precision.
01:50We need to make sure it's completely straight.
01:51Even the pins on the house.
01:52He likes to keep it very precise.
01:53Is it straight now?
01:54Yeah.
01:55The big wow of our display is the large driveway matrix.
01:56It is so awesome to see the pixels light up and turn into some beautiful images.
02:02Check, check, and double check.
02:04To share this with my boys, my daughter, and my wife.
02:06There's nothing better than that.
02:07I love it.
02:08I love it.
02:09Oh, my wife is the chic.
02:10I love it.
02:11I know my wife.
02:12My wife is the chic.
02:13She likes the classic look.
02:14Just ladies on top in a zigzag pattern.
02:15Aaron loves precision.

02:17Even the pins on the house, he likes to keep it very precise.
02:18Is it straight now?
02:19Yeah.
02:20The big wow of our display is the large driveway matrix.
02:22It is so awesome to see the pixels light up and turn into some beautiful images.
02:24There's nothing better than this experience.
02:35Hey guys, there's Carter!
02:49How are you doing? How are you?
02:51Yes!
02:54I love this outfit you got on. I like this.
02:57Tell me a little about who you are and who's with you.
02:59My name is Aaron Peluso, and this is my beautiful bride Monica, Jonah, Micah, and Annalie.
03:04We're the Peluso family.
03:06We just have a passion for lights. We fell in love with lights together.
03:09We love the great Christmas light fight.
03:11There are points right there, okay. Points right there.
03:13You got him, right?
03:15Yeah, absolutely.
03:16The best thing about our display is that we have a techie versus like kind of old school vibe going on here.
03:22So first, we have something to give you.
03:24Okay.
03:25We all have these awesome hats and bracelets.
03:27Yeah, everybody does. I just got that by the way.
03:30These are all synchronized to the light show.
03:32It's got some Christmas magic in it, Carter.
03:34How's that look?
03:35Yeah.
03:36He looks great.
03:37Get ready to be mesmerized.
03:39That is impressive. I don't think I've ever seen that before.
03:41I'm very excited to see it. So how do we get it started?
03:44We can't have any hot chocolate without a marshmallow.
03:47So what we're going to ask you is to slide that marshmallow down, and it's going to trigger our button, and it's going to fire that show up.
03:53You guys ready?
03:54Yeah!
03:55Here we go. Let's count it down in three, two, one!
04:00Wow!
04:01Look at this!
04:15That is a massive matrix.
04:21I can't believe everybody's hats are lighting up.
04:26Magic!
04:27Magic! It is magic!
04:28This is great!
04:34You have got a lot of lights.
04:36Yeah.
04:37How many lights do you have in this display?
04:38A little bit over 300,000 right now.
04:40Wow!
04:45I love the ice skaters over here.
04:47That's a blow mold up there.
04:49Yes, sir.
04:50I love the mix and match of old school and new school.
04:53Is that you?
04:54I'll wait to your house.
04:55It is something special for the kids.
04:56Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
05:03Yeah!
05:04Alright!
05:05Come on, guys!
05:06That was amazing.
05:07Can we get in there and check it out?
05:08Yeah!
05:09Come on!
05:10Let's go!
05:11Come on, guys!
05:12Let's go!
05:13Let's go!
05:14Let's go!
05:15Let's go!
05:16Let's go!
05:17It's Christmas time
05:19It's Christmas time
05:20At Christmas time
05:25Carter, this is our large driveway matrix.
05:28This is unbelievable, I've never seen one like it before and I've seen a ton!
05:33ton this has 5400 pixels on it wow and it takes almost two months to really put together i'm so
05:41curious just seeing like you know two by four framing that you have but these lights right here
05:47what are you using to hold them nice and tight that's called aircraft cable and that allows me
05:52to stretch the cable really taut and allows the pixels to stay flat and even what is the width of
05:58this at 16 feet and then you have 44 feet uh the spacing in between is they're eight and a half
06:04inches to really get the image flat preciseness really has to be exact here because if you don't
06:11it just won't look correct one thing you'll notice carter is that there's over 2 000 zip ties on here
06:16that is a lot of zip ties so carter right over here on the end little turnbuckles each one has
06:23a different tension we have all of our turnbuckles connected on this side so it allows all of our
06:29wires on the other side they go back to my pixel controller that's hidden under the christmas
06:34present yep and then this archway i mean we really love these driveway arches and they synchronize to
06:39the music this kind of frames it beautifully as you kind of look down the driveway essentially just
06:44conduit i'm assuming electrical conduit you're right what about the stakes in the ground they
06:48do go down about four feet had to have the gas company come out mark where my gas lines go because
06:55we don't want to do that no hazards at this house looking at all of these different items you guys
07:05intermingled old traditional with all of the dancing lights and that's not easy to do either i tend to
07:11think that pixels only is a little bit not inviting it's not as soft so i wanted to make sure that we
07:17incorporated some of the vintage or old-fashioned components to it i mean even looking at stuff
07:23like this this is a homemade cupcake can i pick one up yeah go for it it's really heavy be careful yeah
07:28i don't i have no idea how did you make this that is insulation foam with this ping pong ball so
07:34delicious looking we also use it to hide our speakers oh right up here that is so cool no one
07:41wants to see an eyesore of a speaker so we want to make sure it's inviting and cute like a cupcake
07:49look at santa he's coming on the gym we're gonna take a step into here you don't let everybody just
07:55come into this area do you we're gonna be taking a look at something that's really special to my family
08:01and i and it's these wood cutouts these are so fun so these were the very first things that we had
08:08this and one strand of lights on the house they're kind of old school but they work with your display
08:13exactly can we talk about the roof a little bit it looks amazing yeah my daughter and i spent our time
08:18in july really going up on that roof yeah i clipped the clips onto the bulbs and he put them in the
08:24tiles individually yes this is kind of my backdrop to the light show so we had to tone it way down
08:30right now they're at one percent they get brighter they get way brighter really we're going to turn
08:34them on to their full brightness ready here we go whoa oh my gosh it's shocking the difference i think
08:44i'm getting a suntan right now this is amazing
08:50look at the top of the tree this is the geekiest highest mega tree that we could actually get on this
08:56lawn it's about 29 feet there's around 4 800 pixels wow we have a thousand pound winch secured to the
09:03house anchors that go down about four feet structurally this looks amazing it's fort knox
09:10these are dc volt power supplies this is what powers my pixel controllers i actually have 22 pixel
09:17controllers whoa some are on the roof some are under the eaves some are in the driveway you have so much
09:23passion about this i want i can tell you yeah you do love it
09:33all right so carter we got to come right over here so let me remove the cookie real quick
09:37all right no just joking it's not that heavy not that heavy it's out of cyrofoam cord keeping them
09:42organized are really important to me so i had to run a power cord down here all the way through the
09:48drain kind of do a little zigzag and it goes straight across my roof line you have power
09:54cords in your gutters i didn't want to trip hazard across my driveway that is genius if you look right
10:00here i have about 8 000 thumbtacks to hold the lights you use those for all your lights in the
10:06house hurt your thumbs i'll tell you that i'm sure half a day your thumbs hurting like heck yeah you
10:11gotta take a break gotta take a break we hold chocolate in here oh what's up guys we're gonna

11:54incredible display i love the blend of the high-tech and traditional when it's done this well it looks
12:00perfect you guys that was so much fun i was so impressed just on the matrix alone on the driveway
12:07that's something i've never seen before i love seeing all the lights on the roof and how precise
12:12they are the mix and match from the new to the old the blow molds and then mixing that with all of the
12:18dancing lights that are around that's not easy aaron works on it every single day this is definitely his
12:25dream his vision and he does it all to bring joy to others you guys go above and beyond on so many

13:11would go round and round and i got really involved with it and then he left me his train okay that
13:16went on real nice and i kept doing them and still are doing them to this day and i just love playing
13:20with them this is the train garden has seven different trains running at one time there's an elevated
13:26train here that goes along he's always working on the trains but the trains is like all year round
13:32kind of thing the display is set up within an acre of land so that's a lot besides making sure
13:40everything's placed exactly where i need it to be i bury all the wires carter won't see any wires anywhere
13:46okay we're good
13:51and the leaves trying to take care of the leaves during the light display it is a real challenge

16:25yeah come on let's go all right how cool this is
16:29this is a great perspective to see the entire display which i love it's on a nice hill here
16:44it's a bit of a challenge setting it up on the hill i can imagine the perspective is so cool here
16:49because it's like an amphitheater okay you feel like the seating is all here your house is the stage
16:54but i'm sure as you walk down you get a different perspective you get the feel of it you're in it
17:03wow is that santa yeah is that santa did you notice do you see any wires i don't see any
17:09wire there are no wires to be always impressed when i can hop over here i don't see any wires where you
17:15put them all they're all buried under the ground i take a claw hammer and dig a trench and i put the
17:21wires in there and cover it back up so let me get this straight so you take the back side of a
17:27hammer that's used to pull out nails correct and you just dig a little trench correct
17:31my man i do the same thing do you that's great i knew we're similar
17:42i like the one on the christmas
17:43now look at all of these trains i love the elevated train i don't think i've seen one ever
17:51took me a whole summer to elevate that track it's all pressure treated one by sixes on top a half
17:56inch rebar that i tried to make it as level as i could it's funny you called it the elevated train
18:01because that's its name it's the elevated train
18:13carter i want to show you in here this is a special thing just follow me
18:17yeah it's kind of neat to be in the middle of it i have very large feet oh my gosh i feel like you're
18:21right in the middle of it whoa whoa hey buddy how you doing you're like the only person i've ever
18:29allowed in here this is the military train okay it's all military and this one that's track one
18:35and it's a lot of maintenance stuff to take care of i see that but i love these trains i mean there's
18:39just so many lights on all of them i've had to put every light in there i take them in set them on a
18:44workbench and i start adding these little leds to them for me to build one helicopter there took me 14
18:49hours you know that's just for one that's crazy the leds are so tiny you can almost not see them and
18:55he put out all this you are devoted to your train track all these little scenes and the guy buying
19:01a newspaper there wow this is so cool i love it like the ferris wheel you have like a little town
19:06and you watch the little guy in the middle the snow cones turn and stuff of course how long does
19:11it take to lay something out like this years because i just kept building onto it yeah one of
19:15the main reasons i got into it was the kids that come here they noticed the detail
19:20carter come on over here i'll show you such a different world over here the landscaping is just
19:29gorgeous oh thank you i collected these rocks from this property to be able to build the uh waterfall
19:35and the pond some people think it's a natural stream it's really not there's two pumps down in here
19:40that's incredible so what'd you build this out of is three quarters pressure treated two by sixes
19:46next week oh it is sometimes i need to walk on that and why do you have the plexi well my theory
19:50was case a train fell off it wouldn't fall into the water so i ended up putting it all the way around
19:55even the light i didn't even see those lights right there i needed lights on here because it was a
20:00little dark over here so i got these aluminum slots and then cut them in half because they look like real
20:05lights that you would see like on a street hi guys i mean that's so cool it brings back the kid inside of
20:13anybody carter if you think this is something we need to go out back and let me show you what's
20:18back there it's fantastic all right let's go come on let's go carter i have a surprise for you okay
20:26we have a very unique way of showing off their display okay and i hope you're not afraid of heights
20:34you want me to get on that that's our christmas cable swing wow how high is that 60 feet that looks so
20:42scary is this for real yes now i'm getting a little nervous up them steps there i don't know
20:48what this has to do with christmas but i am all for it guys put this up underneath of you okay back
20:54up into it here goes nothing you guys ready ready yeah give me a countdown guys ready three two one go
21:03wow oh my goodness i felt like i could see the entire town i got so high that is hot that is
21:26really high a little bird's eye view it was perfect this display had so many twists and turns
21:40and i'm not just talking about the train tracks and chuck does it out of the goodness of his own heart
21:44i really see why this family pulls out all the stops to make this happen that was so much fun i had
21:51a blast i mean you put me on a swing of course i'm gonna love it one of the coolest things about
21:55your display there's just so many trains moving around you've created all the scenes and also the
22:01landscaping too some of the kids that sit there they stay there until the parents have to carry them
22:05off screaming i want to stay that's a labor of love it's his passion you can see how much love he puts
22:12into all of it right it shows and that's why i think people keep coming back oh it's such a treat you
22:18guys i had such a blast being here i had so much fun i'm going to just give you a big hug all right
22:26thank you so much all right take care all right that was good i think he had a really good time on
22:33that swing he seems a little scared
22:35we're the jimenez family and our display is more than meets the eye christmas time for us is an
22:52important holiday we come from really traditional families where there's a lot of traditions
22:59help i got stuck you just made it worse we've been decorating for about 11 years now it started
23:11out pretty simple and pretty basic and added to it every year it really sort of like transitioned
23:15into an interactive walkthrough experience we're gonna be setting up our sidewalk adjacent candyland
23:22area one of the things we try and do with the biggest little christmas in phoenix as we call it
23:26is really do things that can be experienced from a kid's perspective so the kids will be able to
23:31come through and see stitch there perfect it's so full of whimsy and creativity it's a little bit
23:41of a lot of things like you can't turn around and not like see something your show is relentless relentless
23:47doing a display like this in arizona it's like rocky clay soil that's a rock so we find other
23:59ways to do things all right well this blow mold keeps blowing over because we have a really small
24:06space to work with half of our displays on our driveway so one of the things i do is we zip tie
24:11the blow molds to these grids and then set those on the ground and put rocks on the grids we still have
24:16a lot to do yeah well that doesn't look like much no this is what we've already done this is what we
24:20still need to do oh i would love to see us win the great christmas light fight because it would
24:29be a message to people that you don't have to do a christmas display like every other christmas display
24:35you've seen
24:49Merry Christmas!
24:55What's going on?
24:57Merry Christmas!
24:58How you doing?
25:00Merry Christmas!
25:02How you guys doing?
25:03Good, fantastic, fantastic.
25:05You're looking great.
25:06I love this.
25:07I'm Carl, and this is my spouse, Patty.
25:09How you doing?
25:10Pleasure.
25:11This is the biggest little Christmas in Phoenix.
25:13We don't have a lot of space.
25:14It's not a huge yard.
25:15So we do a lot of things with scale, things that are big.
25:18And things that are little.
25:20Good things come in small packages.
25:21That's really good.
25:23Oh, that's so cute.
25:25But we also do a lot of wordplay and a lot of puns and kind of like gags like that.
25:30I love that.
25:31I am excited to see this.
25:33Well, we've ordered a special switch from the Holiday Light Display On Switch Company.
25:37Oh!
25:38Out of Traverse City, Michigan.
25:39What? Come on!
25:40That's where I'm from!
25:43Are you guys ready?
25:44Yeah!
25:45I'm going to give you the throw bar.
25:46Okay, I'm just going to know how to use this.
25:49Yeah.
25:49All right, guys.
25:51There you go.
25:53There you go.
25:54Oh!
25:55I don't know what happened.
25:56It's tiny.
26:00Prepare to have your mind blown.
26:02Oh!
26:05That is the cutest little switch I've ever seen!
26:08I even made a little palette right there.
26:10All right, you guys ready?
26:11Yeah!
26:11Let's count it down in three, two, one!
26:27You weren't kidding!
26:28You packed everything in there!
26:34Where's your yard?
26:35How do you even get in there?
26:35It's all in there somewhere.
26:38I love all the blow molds over here.
26:41What are those, dinosaurs?
26:42Yeah, we got dinosaurs!
26:43All right.
26:44The gingerbread man.
26:46I see a ton of lights.
26:47How many lights do you have in there?
26:49We've got, like, dozens, at least.
26:51Dozens?
26:52Yeah.
26:53I feel like I'm going to have a lot of, like,
26:54this throughout the night, huh?
26:58You guys want to get in there and check it out?
27:00Yeah!
27:01All right!
27:02Let's go take a look.
27:02All right, come on.
27:04Hey, Mr. Snowman, how do you do?
27:09You look so funny and you're a rhythmist too.
27:13Happy, smiling faces will be your reward.
27:21Let's take a look at the start of our display here.
27:24As you know, snowmen and global warming do not go well together.
27:28Yeah.
27:28And so they've gathered here to protest climate change.
27:31Oh!
27:33That's so great!
27:34They're trying to change the world.
27:35So how many blow molds do you got?
27:38A bunch.
27:38Okay.
27:39There was a lot, and now there's more.
27:41And then you keep gathering them?
27:43It just kind of grows.
27:44Luckily, I break a lot of things, which are kind of on me,
27:46so then he has to buy new things.
27:48The whole thing is that once you start taking a closer look,
27:51there's, like, this sort of, like, next level.
27:53And you're going to get down, and then there's, like, a fourth level
27:55that's, like, even, you know, more detailed.
27:56That's some levels.
27:58Yeah.
28:07Well, if you liked Snowtown USA,
28:09then I think you're going to like what's next.
28:11We have Honey Lane.
28:13I think the best way to experience it is to actually sing it.
28:17Okay, so let's sing it.
28:18All right.
28:18Okay, here we go.
28:19We wish you a Merry Christmas.
28:22We wish you a Merry Fishmas.
28:24We wish you a Merry Christmas.
28:27Moose.
28:28Moose.
28:31And a Happy New Year.
28:34I love that.
28:35We are literally six feet away from the climate crisis,
28:40and now we just got happiness.
28:42Oh, we have cow puns.
28:43I see some major, large things over here.
28:54They're all very specialized Christmas dinosaurs.
28:57They're very specialized Christmas skills.
28:58Right, right.
28:59We have our Triceratops,
29:01which has a specialized skill of helping to dig up Christmas trees.
29:05Of course.
29:05Then we have the Bridasaurus.
29:07So he's really good at hanging up decorations up high in the trees.
29:09How do you get those bright lights up there?
29:11The Stegnogosaurus, he just really enjoys a nice eggnog.
29:14It's not necessarily a skill, but it's what's a...
29:16Somebody's got to do it.
29:17And then, you know, the big guy here, Tyrannosaurus wraps.
29:19He's got those short arms, so they're really in close,
29:21and he can get the detail work of a really nicely wrapped present.
29:24That's genius.
29:25I mean, half the things are in here.
29:26She's like, nobody's going to get that.
29:28I'm like, oh, no.
29:29There's one dad who's going to come through.
29:31He's going to see that detail.
29:32Some guy comes up, but he's like, Carl, great job.
29:36I love it.
29:36That makes it all worth it, right?
29:38Exactly.
29:39Of course, over here, we have our Winterfest,
29:46which is a celebration of fun, friendship, and elf culture.
29:49There's a concert series.
29:51It features some of the biggest names in elf music,
29:53like Elvish Presley.
29:54Yes.
29:55Missy Elfiet.
29:56Elf Elf Cool J, of course.
29:58That's so great.
29:58One of, like, our most popular features of elf name generator.
30:03Okay.
30:04So, first letter of your name, C, would be Hoppy.
30:08That's my name.
30:09It's Hoppy.
30:09Hoppy.
30:09And then your birth month.
30:11Oh, no way.
30:12I'm Hoppy Jolly Flakes.
30:14Oh.
30:16You look like a Hoppy Jolly Flakes.
30:18Hi.
30:19I'm Hoppy Jolly Flakes.
30:21Let me try to get a puck.
30:21Oh, hi.
30:24I'm Hoppy Jolly Flakes.
30:25Over here, we have Mr. and Mrs. Claus.
30:36Of course, got Mrs. Claus here with her bake shop.
30:39Smell the cookies.
30:41Oh, I can smell it from here.
30:42Okay.
30:43And then, of course, Santa's workshop.
30:44I love all the detail.
30:46So, we really try and literally take our view from a kid's perspective.
30:50Sure.
30:51And I'll literally get, like, on my knees.
30:53Yeah, because you kind of have to.
30:54And crawl through the display.
30:55Well, yeah, if you don't get down in here, you're not going to see.
30:59Mrs. Claus has a picture of Santa, and Santa has a picture of Mrs. Claus.
31:04Oh, that's so sweet.
31:09Santa!
31:09I'm going to stay on my knees from now on, okay?
31:14I feel like everywhere I look, I want to see something more interesting than the last.
31:18Okay, we can do that.
31:20Okay.
31:21Bring us over to Penguin-topia.
31:22Yeah.
31:22It's an iceberg with penguins on it.
31:24Great.
31:24But if you get in, there's a surprise in there for you.
31:28Oh, my gosh.
31:30What is happening in there?
31:32That is incredible.
31:34There's a surprise in there for you.
31:41Oh, my gosh.
31:43Whoa.
31:44There's a whole world in there.
31:46There is.
31:46I got a pond liner.
31:48I flipped it over, spray-painted white.
31:49Yeah.
31:49But then there's this big hole on the side where the plumbing was for the pond.
31:52Yeah.
31:52And I'm like, maybe I don't cover up the hole.
31:54Genius.
31:54And I do something else with it.
31:56That is so creative.
31:58I was not expecting any of this, but it's what's inside the Penguin-topia.
32:01Yeah, again, that's the layers.
32:03That blows my mind.
32:04It's ice skating.
32:11Here we have the Keebler House.
32:13Cool.
32:14Which is the home for Wayward Elves.
32:16Yes.
32:16Oh, sweet.
32:17So we have elves just going about their business when they're not making toys.
32:22And then, I don't know if you can see, but down in the living room, our elves are watching
32:27something on television.
32:29You've got to be kidding me.
32:31They're watching the Great Christmas Light fight.
32:34The elves love Great Christmas Light.
32:35What?
32:36They've got a Carter episode in there.
32:38I'm so impressed.
32:39I am not worthy.
32:40I have never seen this, ever.
32:42Did you see in here?
32:44You've got to see this.
32:45Oh, my God.
32:47Wait, that is so cool.
32:48Then we come over here.
32:53We've got our food truck, giving away free samples, candy canes, as big as your head, as long
32:58as you're outside.
32:59Oh, as long as you're a little miniature.
33:01We come over here.
33:02Santa's got a little bit of a side hustle.
33:04Okay.
33:04You've got to diversify in this economy.
33:06I don't know if you want to give that horn a little...
33:09Hit it, Santa!
33:12There we go!
33:14Uh-oh.
33:15Uh-oh.
33:15Uh-oh.
33:15Oh, no.
33:16They've all escaped.
33:17Somebody left the door open.
33:18Do not open Cray Door.
33:20If the nutcrackers escape, they're likely to engage in holiday hijinks and horseplay.
33:25This one over here trying to trick you into eating a pepper instead of a peppermint.
33:29Christmas joy.
33:30And now it's just, oi.
33:31These little dudes, you can't trust them.
33:34They can be naughty, folks.
33:35Mm-hmm.
33:38Jack!
33:38Jack!
33:39Jack!
33:40Woo!
33:45Remember when we saw Santa's delivery truck over there?
33:47Well, the trees that he's delivering come from Quick Nick Tree Farm.
33:50Perfect.
33:51Some customized trees.
33:52You've got the Jack Skellington Bone Daddy tree.
33:55Oh, I see a really special tree.
33:58Oh, yeah.
33:58There we go.
34:00Look at my own tree!
34:02Some wrenches and some hammers.
34:04Okay, smart.
34:04And a variety of tools and things.
34:05Play to your audience.
34:06I like it.
34:07Yeah, yeah.
34:07Right?
34:08Yeah, a nice saw blade.
34:08Quick Nick's tree farm has inspired me for my new tree now.
34:11There you go.
34:12I like it.
34:15So, we use every part of our yard.
34:18Of course.
34:18What we've got to show you is something on a scale you've never seen before.
34:23Okay.
34:23And rather than see how big we could go, we wanted to see how small we could go.
34:27So, we have the micro-tree, which is the littlest Christmas tree in Arizona.
34:33Come on.
34:35Under the microscope, you take a look and you can see the micro-tree there.
34:40No way.
34:41I think this is a joke.
34:44Special shrinking technology has been employed.
34:46Come on.
34:48So, you can see the sensors here that are like reading the tree data.
34:51I mean, the sensor technology alone at that scale was really a challenge.
34:55Yeah.
34:56Whoa.
34:57I get the joke.
34:58That is genius.
35:00Who thought of that?
35:00The micro-tree is one of our proudest accomplishments.
35:04I am very impressed.
35:05Congratulations.
35:06You've done a very good job.
35:07Absolutely.
35:07And all of your clinical trials and finally getting into this.
35:10Yeah, you can see.
35:10Like, the scientists have been busy.
35:12So, you've seen the littlest Christmas tree in Arizona.
35:14Yeah.
35:14Right?
35:15I mean, I think it's not.
35:16Yeah, sure.
35:16Well, and with that, you get this special prize here.
35:19Ah!
35:19Special button.
35:20That is perfect!
35:22I love it!
35:22There you go.
35:23Carl and Patti created a tremendously creative display.
35:27Everything is packed in by making things small and telling a story on different levels.
35:33But you know what?
35:34That took it to the next level.
35:36Patti, Carl, that was amazing!
35:38When you guys said this was the biggest little Christmas, you weren't kidding.
35:42There was so much to see in here.
35:44I love the fact that you have so many different scenes within your space.
35:47There was just so many different things, so many different levels.
35:50If you didn't get down and you didn't see that different perspective, you wouldn't really
35:55know what's happening inside each part of the display.
35:59I just kept wanting to do more.
36:02Yeah.
36:02But we're just landlocked with the amount of space that we have.
36:05And I do like to think that people come to this and be like, oh, we can do something
36:09really big and really cool with just what we have.
36:12Yeah.
36:12I think that he's made something really magical.
36:14So just getting to help him with that, I feel really lucky.
36:18Carl and Patti's display is so clever and detail-oriented, but I have seen some amazing displays.
36:24This is going to be a really hard decision to make.
36:27Thank you so much.
36:28I just want to give you both a huge hug.
36:30Thanks for being here.
36:30Thank you so much for coming.
36:31Thank you so much.
36:32Take care, guys.
36:33Bye.
36:33Thanks for coming.
36:35Hey, great job.
36:36You too.
36:37I'm really proud of you.
36:38Oh, yes.
36:39All right.
36:39So what do you think next year?
36:41More blow molds?
36:41Oh, probably.
36:43We can go more on the do some more display on the roof.
36:45That's a great idea.
36:46Let's talk about that tomorrow.
36:48Want your display to shine?
36:49Go to abc.com slash casting to apply to be on the show.
37:04All right.
37:06What's up, big guy?
37:09This competition had me smiling like a kid on Christmas morning.
37:16The Peluso family from Carlsbad, California, tucked the halls with vows of circuits in a picturesque pixel show like nothing I've ever seen before.
37:25I can't believe everybody's hats are lighting up.
37:27Magic.
37:28Magic.
37:29It is magic.
37:30The driveway matrix with animated characters was a true engineering feat.
37:34I've never seen one like it before.
37:36And I've seen a ton.
37:38Plus, the nostalgic pieces in Santa's workshop added such a sweet touch to the display.
37:43This is the coolest place ever.
37:45All right.
37:46The Grayson family from Parkton, Maryland, went full steam ahead with a festive train-themed display.
37:53Whoa, hey, buddy.
37:55How you doing?
37:56Chuck's massive collection of lit-up trains speeding through an intricate landscape of miniature villages got Christmas rolling on the right track.
38:04It brings back the kid inside of anybody.
38:07It was such a fun way to swing into the Christmas mood.
38:10This is the coolest Christmas gift ever!
38:13The Jimenez family from Phoenix, Arizona, packed a plethora of puns into a pint-sized presentation.
38:22You can see the micro-tree there.
38:25Carl and Patricia were a couple of Christmas comedians who utilized layers and scale to decorate inside their decorations.
38:32There's a whole world in there.
38:34There is.
38:34With a clever take on Christmas that brought me to my knees.
38:38That is amazing.
38:39They're watching the great Christmas light fight.
38:43All right.
38:43It's right up here, Santa.
38:45And now, Santa and I have something special for under the tree.
38:54Hit it, Santa.
38:58Thanks, Santa.
39:03All right.
39:04This is going to be fun.
39:05It's Garner.
39:06No, seriously.
39:06Hey, guys.
39:09What?
39:10Come on out, guys.
39:11What are you doing here?
39:12How are you?
39:13Good.
39:14Good.
39:14We're a little surprised.
39:15Good to see you.
39:16Good to see you.
39:17Merry Christmas.
39:18Merry Christmas.
39:18Oh, my gosh.
39:19Merry Christmas.
39:20How you been?
39:22Fantastic.
39:22Pretty good.
39:23Yeah?
39:23Well, I have to tell you guys, I've been to a lot of awesome places, and yours was super
39:28cool.
39:28I did love it a lot.
39:30You know, you guys proved that you don't have to have a massive display to have massive amounts
39:36of creativity.
39:37And that's why you guys are the champions of the great Christmas.
39:40It's like, look, you just won $50,000.
39:44Congratulations.
39:45Oh, my gosh.
39:50Congratulations, you guys.
39:51I'm, like, blown away.
39:53I'm absolutely blown away.
39:55Like, I'm not often speechless.
39:57No.
39:57What you've done here.
39:57You were not speechless the entire time you didn't walk through.
40:00Come on.
40:01The creativity was off the charts.
40:04You know, when you talk about deck the halls, you guys decked the halls.
40:07Yeah.
40:07And the halls of the halls.
40:08Yeah.
40:09The halls.
40:09You didn't stop.
40:10You had to, like, get down and really see everything that you could.
40:14And you had your micro tree.
40:15I mean, were you pranking me?
40:17No.
40:17Are you sure?
40:19Just proves it's not the size of the display.
40:21It's the creativity.
40:22Thanks so much.
40:23I hope we inspire other people to go for it.
40:26Do it.
40:26Yeah.
40:27Okay.
40:27Well, I have a tiny little surprise for you.
40:30Is he giving me that coffee I need?
40:32That coffee?
40:33You guys ready?
40:35Oh, my gosh.
40:37Okay.
40:37Here we go.
40:39One, two, three.
40:42Oh, my gosh.
40:43It's fantastic.
40:44It's beautiful.
40:45It's the micro trophy.
40:47Look at that.
40:48It's the smallest trophy.
40:49There you go.
40:50You need that?
40:51There you go.
40:51Oh, that's the whole name on there.
40:53Yeah.
40:54You want this?
40:55There we go.
40:55There you go.
40:55You got it?
40:56Okay.
40:56Woo!
40:57They won the micro trophy!
40:59Yes!
40:59Yes!
41:01Give me that.
41:01I got something else for you.
41:04Can I put this in here?
41:04Yeah, put it in there.
41:05All right.
41:06Here it is.
41:07Here we go!
41:09Look at that.
41:10That's the real thing.
41:11And...
41:12Fantastic.
41:13It's yours.
41:14Take it, Patty.
41:16Can you believe that?
41:17Our silly little display.
41:20Fantastic.
41:21Woo-hoo!
41:23Come on, man.
41:25Look at this.
41:25Look how crazy it is.
41:26Yeah!
41:27This is just amazing.
41:28It's frosting.
41:29Is frosting better than icing?
41:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:31You want cream cheese frosting?
41:32This is the cream cheese frosting.
41:34This is the cream cheese frosting.
41:35On the cake?
41:36On our light show cake.
41:37Oh, that's nice.
41:37That's a good metaphor.
41:38Maybe let's take it to the lab,
41:40see if we can shrink it.
41:41Oh!
41:41You'll make it tiny.
41:42Exciting.
41:42That's right, yeah.
41:43Because, you know, around here,
41:44we say, like, if something's good,
41:45shrink it.
41:46Yeah.
41:46The smaller, the better.
41:48We can publish in the shrinking journals.
41:51That's right.
41:52Shrinking today.
41:53Shrinking today.
41:53Shrinking today.
41:53Shrinking today.
42:23Shrinking today.
42:27Shrinking today.
