A man in Alberta has been putting up an increasingly extravagant Christmas light display on his home for the past 15 years.
Tyler Sand has been hanging lights on his Diamond Valley, Alta., home every Christmas for the past 15 years and has been making the display bigger and bigger each time. Tyler Sand has lived in Turner Valley, now Diamond Valley for more than 15 years and, every Christmas, his home comes alive with thousands of lights strung up outside.'There's obviously going to be a limit where I have to say enough, but we got the space, we got the place, and we got the smiles.
'Sand says he has been stringing lights from his home for years, and last year had around 230 metres worth of stringed lights. This year, he's more than tripled that.He put the call out on social media this year to have those in the community with an extra set of lights, drop them off, so he could make use of them. He's lit up his fence along with weaving lights through the trees on his property, which he says was a challenge.'Having my wife Lisa, look out the window, worrying that I'm going to fall out of the tree.''Every year he adds a little bit more,' said Lisa Sand. 'It's always next year will be better and he kind of threw it out there to the community and the response was overwhelming.''It's been fun and hopefully it brings some smiles to people's faces,' said Lisa.
