The Christmas light display you just have to see - Los Angeles
FREE Catholic Classes
We've all had laughs watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, but some Fountain Valley residents aren't finding it funny with a local "Griswold" coating her home in Christmas lights.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Saying the display looks like something from Las Vegas, residents are complaining about Jan Stewart's display consisting of some 65,000 lights.
The display is synched to music and has attracted visitors from all over Los Angeles.
Some neighbors have complained to the police, but they have not shut off the display. She was ticked for playing the music a little too loudly.
Stewart told the Los Angeles Times, "If they don't like it, I'm sorry, you know," she said. "It isn't gonna last forever. It's Christmas. Have a good time! Merry Christmas!"
What do you think? Do you feel the display is a bit too much? Or should her neighbors lighten up?
