Tis the season

Okay, people, time to rev up that Christmas spirit. Do you realize we're less than three weeks from the big day now? Well, we ARE!!!

So, I'm going to see if I can share some interesting holiday "stuff" in the coming weeks. Let's start with this Web page of Christmas lights: http://www.komar.org/cgi-bin/christmas_webcam. This page is not your normal Web page showing someone's Christmas lights. Oh no! This is Age of the Internet, the Interactive Age, the Too Much Time On Our Hands Age. So, thus, you have Alek's Controllable Christmas Lights for Celiac Disease!

At this page, you can view the light displays on Alek's Colorado home in real-time, 24 hours a day, via 3 Web cams. But that's not all! No, it gets better. You can CONTROL Alek's lights!! That's right, folks - you can turn his lights on and off and blow up or deflate his inflatable displays via buttons on the Web page! Is that wild or what?!

While at Alek's place, he also pitches for you to donate to celiac research. Both of his kids suffer from the disease, so he's trying to raise money. A good cause. He also tells you all about his set-up for his Christmas lights, as well as several other features of the site.

A very unique site and all in the spirit of the season. Check it out!

Suzanne,

Glad you enjoyed the Controllable Christmas Lights for Celiac Disease - yea, it's a bit wild. Neighbor think it is a riot and needless to say, the kids love it.

Merry Christmas and HO HO HO,
alek

Both my niece and nephew (my brother's kids) have celiac disease - both diagnosed in the past 3 months.

A gluten-free Christmas is, er, interesting, especially when Stevie is also allergic to All Things Dairy.
