Thought it was enough to have your outdoor Christmas lights looking pretty? Wrong. Apparently, now it’s all about making sure your lights not only look amazing, but also have great rhythm, as the rather talented Richard Holdman shows with his display.

Made up of 45,000 lights, this display also used 176 channels of computer control to get it dancing, and if you wondered what the rather funky track the house is gettig on down to, it’s Amazing Grace by Yule which can be downloaded from both Amazon and iTunes.
