You find yourself outside late at night in the rain putting lights on trees - in one hand is a string of lights and in the other is a tree saw for cutting branches - just so the display is more visible!

...you get up at 4:00am to go outside in the cold with your laptop, so none of your neighbors or passing traffic will see the changes you just made to a new sequence...

You listen to the ticking of a clock in the kitchen as you make coffee and think it has a nice steady beat to synchronze music to. And say to your self YAH it would work.
A big christmasy decorated Clock and tick tock to the lights ......
....when, once your Christmas display sequences are completed, you think about sequencing some Valentine Day love songs with the red and white strands of lights.
PS - don't forget Green and White for St. Patricks day, although drinking songs just don't cordinate all that well!!!

You wake up in the middle of the night from a car passing by with it's head lights on and the radio blasting that you think your display has just turned on randomly.
Or
You sit at your computer all day browsing a website called.. PlanetChristmas!
(okay, okay, okay, I know.. stop it will the corny dry humor. )

Your co-workers and neighbors start asking how it's going on the display, and ask when the lighting is. "Of course all year up to this point they thought I was nuts."
Your son says...he will help you clean out the gutters on your house but he will not help you put up your lights, as he is not going to help further your addiction.
You begin to think like Wiley Coyote...Super Genius...and come up with all kind of ways to try something out for your display...only to have it fail time and again, but you do not give up. No...not even when the mega tree starts falling on your head and all you can do is hold up a little umbrella trying to fend it off. Then you actually wish there was a Acme company for you to call up and order all kind of neat things from. Like a jet pack, so you can reach the top peak of the house without a bucket truck.
Clark Griswold...you consider him just another Christmas Light amateur.

This one really hits home Scott! I listened to it all year. Now it's time to light it up, and they're all fired up to be first in line to see it. I'll certainly give the local PC folks a heads up when the shows run. The rest can figure it out on their own...
