Yule be stunned: Phantastic Photon Philia

Tomorrow (or the day after, depending on which culture's tradition you follow) is the last day of the 12 days of Christmas. Well, any holiday that brings out so much kitsch, conflict, naked greed, corporate anxiety, AND genuine goodwill and thoughtful humility, is a holiday to keep posting about after its official day is done.

The day after Christmas, the Voodoo Queen and I kept out holiday cheer going a bit longer by driving out to a neighborhood known for its outdoor Christmas displays. One house in particular so amazed us with its overkill that we had to take pictures and share them with you.

(Three photos belong to another house in the same neighborhood. $5 to the first person to tell me which ones they are. Answers must be received by 12:01 a.m. EST January 6, 2008.)

Tacky or wacky? You decide.
