Many of the grand plans I had for 2008 fell through due to lack of time and a key supplier canceling my backorder.  I decided to fall back onto the 2007 display layout and reworked the programming for the new elements.  The 2008 display is similar to 2007 with some changes and additions. The biggest addition was the two "firestick" poles wrapped with lights where I could chase light up and down the pole.  The main sequence using the poles is Sleigh Ride.

Tune your radio to 87.9FM to listen to the lights.  You should be able to pick up the broadcast within a block or two of the house.  The outside audio turns off at 9pm daily.  However, you can continue to watch the show by tuning your radio to 87.9FM.
