    John, not that i know of... i've seen a few houses like this in my lifetime... As a child, when i lived in the Bronx, there was one house on Pelham Parkway (for any NYC borough natives) that was decorated similar to this... Someone started a tradition of throwing money over the fence (the joke was that the money was to help pay their electric bill)... Every year, i went there and every year they had A LOT of decorations... It's cool to see people really get into it like that... (So what if the sheer brightness of it keeps the neighbors awake...:D)

    When i lived in Albuquerque NM there was a couple of houses that would try to out do each other for christmas. It got so bad that people would go to see the houses that i caused traffic nightmares, so bad that the city told them to cool it.

    Reminds of Chevy Chase's house in "Christmas Vacation" - when he finally gets the lights on, he blinds the neighbours, blacks out a section of the city and the utility company has to go to nuclear backup to compensate for the power drain!

    But as for the real-life house pictured below, some people may have too much time on their hands. :)

    You could always be the real mean neighbor who takes two bulbs out of the strand of lights:). You would have the guy tracing wires for weeks!

    For 11 months a year, the decorations fill interior of the house, floor to ceiling.

    Looks like that guy's got more equity in his decorations than in his house!
