WATCH: Oak Forest Home Sets Christmas Lights to Local Radio

Lance and Jenny Porter couldn't pull into their driveway the day after Thanksgiving.

After the couple flipped the switch on their holiday lights display on Thanksgiving Day, cars lined the street outside their home in Gingerwood subdivision.

All eyes—and ears—were on the 15,000-LED display at 16855 LeClaire, synchronized to a holiday setlist designed by Lance Porter, and broadcast over radio station 106.7 FM.

The light show took Lance three months to conceptualize and hours per song to set to music.

"I get ideas, and I don't stop," said Porter, 25.

His ideas are shaped into arches, miniature Christmas trees, and one giant Christmas tree. LED bulbs light up his designs to the tune of seven songs, including Blue Christmas, Amazing Grace, Music Box Dancer and two numbers from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, along with another from Alvin and the Chipmunks.

The music is piped through an audio source, which is connected to a radio broadcaster, which taps into a local radio frequency. Passersby need only pull over, turn the dial to 106.7 and sit back for the show.

"We always see people out there, sitting and watching," said Jenny Porter, 23.

The audience makes the long hours at the computer seem worth it. Porter spends 6 to 8 hours on each song—every second of a song is broken into 20 pieces that signal the lights to twinkle to desired timing. Porter breaks the song down into segments to simplify the process. The show is controlled from his computer, which pumps the cues out to the lights.

"It probably takes 100 to 200 times through every song to get it right," Porter said.

And he doesn't just dust off the decorating skills for Christmas. With more online research and studying, Porter has dreamed up other holiday decoration concepts. On Halloween, a giant pumpkin comes to life with lights and music. Neighborhood kids sat on the lawn across the street, watching the show.

The couple moved to Oak Forest in February, and so far they haven't heard any negative feedback about their lighting handiwork. While the sounds play through speakers outside, Porter keeps the volume low, with a sign to tune to 106.7.

Porter was originally inspired by a home in Bremen, near Bremen High School. He said he's always changing bits and pieces of the show—maybe even adding the extra 5,000 lights stored in the garage.

Check out the display. Is yours just as impressive? Do you put a lot of time and energy into your lights display?
