I've seen other people go apeshit with the Christmas lights before but I've never seen anyone so sincere about it that they stay outside the whole time they're lit. From 5 p.m to 10 p.m. during the holiday season Bob is outside his home, greeting visitors, and offering them sugar cookies and hot chocolate before they roam the grounds of his house. That's really sweet of Bob but I notice that Mrs. Bob had the good sense to stay  inside.

Not only is there a helicopter (lit up of course) in the front yard piloted by Santa, but there is diorama upon diorama in the backyard. "Diorama" makes it sound small like a school project, when in actuality each display is very intricate. Most impressive is one that challenges visitors to find a hidden lion in a rotating snow-covered Christmas village (hint: it's next to a streetlight hidden under a snow drift but I think it moves every year).

Don't forget to bring Bob a canned food donation! I also like that "Bob's Christmas Wonderland" is spelled out in lights.
