The King of Them All...

Our inspiration for compiling this list of delightfully psychotic displays was the famous "Oregon Street House." It's hard to believe that it's been so long since it's been a part of our Xmas tradition.

Though we feel it lost a little something when inflatables came along, it is still the yardstick against which every other expression of Christmas light frenzy is measured.

It's hard to convey to you the majesty of what once was: Battalions of Santas, regiments of snowmen, all lined up obsessively and organized by attribute - with every inch sparkling and glittering as they loomed twenty feet over our humble heads in a frozen tidal wave of shimmering excess.

Thanks to Lonesome Steve, who fortunately had enough foresight to document this remarkable assembly before it left us.

Feast your eyes; glut your soul...
