Clark W. Griswold had a theory: When it came to Christmas lights, more was definitely more. A woman in Orange County in California clearly agrees. She has decked her home with a staggering 65,000 holiday lights.
This isn't the first time Jan Stewart has gone all-out to light up her house. Last year, Stewart used about 54,000 lights.

Back when I was a kid, in a nearby town they put up about 10 times that number of lights (also Xmas music from outdoor speakers) The SPL from the street did not violate the local code for volume restrictions, and time of night, (and he needed 400A service to light all the bulbs). It was a mess for the neighbors, as it was a constant procession of cars going down the street to look at it... The neighbors got p*ssed, so it ended up in court, and all the neighbors lost.... First Amendment, I love it. Woo Hoo!.
