DEERFIELD TWP., Warren County — To say that Carson Williams and his family love Christmas — or rather decorating for the holiday — would be the understatement of the year.
Consider this:
• They've lit up their Deerfield Twp. home in southern Warren County with 25,000 colored lights.
• Carson, an electrical engineer, computerized the display so that the lights are synched up to music by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
• Ever the courteous neighbors, the Carsons broadcast the music not over loudspeakers but with a low-power FM transmitter so that people driving around to view decorated homes can listen on their car radios.
The Williams' light show runs from 6 to 10 p.m. each day through Jan. 1. The family appeared on NBC's Today show Monday morning and has numerous Internet sites burning with chat about how they pulled it off, what people think of all the illumination and links to Web sites offering computer software and other tips for do-it-yourselfers who want to do the Williams house one better.
