In celebration of the amateur artists across the U.S. who emerge each December to make holiday canvases of their homes, Merry Christmas America presents about 100 nighttime photos of houses and yards transformed into holiday wonderlands. Many are outrageously tacky or garish, others are sparsely elegant; all are an appealing tribute to the American folk-art tradition of bringing the holiday spectacle into the front yard.
Book Description
You already have a very well-written entry for this book on your website. Add: color photographs of great Christmas yard displays from all across the United States.

 very disappointing and tacky February 9, 2008

With all the breathtaking displays out there, why couldn't this author have done much, MUCH better? The majority of the photos in this book were taken in trailer parks and lower middle class homes with really tacky light displays. Who wants to pay money to see pictures of a string of lights on a cable tv dish or patio furniture? This book is a big waste of money.

This book is a wonderful christmas book, perhaps the most wonderful christmas book there is.
If you want a real christmas mood book, one that should really help you get into the spirit of the season, then look no further.
The wonderful pictures capture christmas and it's many displays throughout America. This is a very warm christmas book, one that is perfect for the coffee table for you and any visiting friends and family to enjoy over the christmas holidays.
Especially makes a great gift for those who like christmas displays.
I can't say enough great things about this book. Well, except for........ just get it!!!!!!!
Inspiring Light Displays November 13, 2003

So far this is the only photo book I could find that focuses on Christmas light displays. The author/photographer does a great job showing some amazingly large Christmas light displays, as well as smaller uniquely decorated homes too. It's a lot of fun to browse through. I just wish there were a hardback edition available to put on my coffee table at Christmas time.

An exuberant tribute to the American passion for outdoor decorating at Christmas, this photographic collection is as good as bundling the family in the car to cruise the neighborhood displays. It just might inspire you to leave your Christmas lights up year round.
