Pictures in Wonderland: Deck the everything

In Brea they Deck the Halls...and the lawn...and the garage...and the roof...and the...After trapsing around this neighborhood I'm starting to feel Christmas.  Then I listened to this song and really felt the season kicking in.  

David Bowie and Bing Crosby signing "The Little Drummer Boy."

(I tried and tried to center this video. I finally had to give up, which wasn't too hard, actually.)

As soon as I saw the plastic cup light ornament thing hanging in the foreground- I knew which neighborhood you were in! That is our fav. place to go to. We actually plug lights into OUR CAR and drive around that neighborhood.(this weekend is the biggie) Cuz nothing says Christmas in the OC like putting Christmas lights on your SUV!

[Big Hair Envy]

That's really YOUR house, right? You've been busy;)

[Suz]

Yeah, someone is racking up a huge electric bill.
I love David Bowie, even when he dressed like a freak. :)

[Mental P Mama]

Lights on the car? I might have to try that. I love that song, too. So beautiful.

[Serendipitous Girl]

Oh my! Those people are just the picture of restraint, aren't they? Loved your balloon picture yesterday too!

[Debs]

This makes my little light display look pathetic. Where in Brea?

[Donalyn]

My son in law was listening to this yesterday! And we don't have many totally pimped out Christmas houses out here - a pity really :)

[Predo]

OMG look at those lights! OMG look at David Bowie! OMG! OMG! That is amazing!

[Catherine]

That's too much!

[Well Behaved Krissy]

Wow. They're all "decked" out.

[chrome3d]

Is there a house buried somewhere under those lights?

[The Kid]

This is my favorite Christmas song of all time. Thanks.

[Last Place Finisher]

Ok, I'm wretching. It would have been more fun to see Ziggy Stardust sing with Bing (hey, poetry!).

Cool the way Bowie makes the piano sound like an orchestra.

[Stacy]

Oh boy those are some lights! Beautiful shots of a definite wonderland.

thanks for stopping by my blog and the nice comments. :)

[Missy]

It really is beginning to look like Christmas and I love it!

Nice shot. I haven't been out to check out Christmas lights yet. Don't know what I'm waiting for. :-)

Reminds me of our friends who moved into a house in the summer only to find out that it was a serious Christmas decorating street in Yorba Linda. What a Christmas surprise.

I've always loved David Bowie...never stopped. I remember when this was on TV.

i saw that house this weekend! it was crazy wacky. another house was selling those plastic cup light balls for $50 each!

I was raised going to the Brea Lights... our dentist (my dad's best friend since jr high... oh how the OC is a small world!) lives there. This year we were sick and never made it out.
