Glad you posted this, Anne. I thought it was a really nice photo. Although the deer herd and other house holiday lights will be coming down soon, the lighted balls in the trees will remain until we reach EDT. Hope to see both you and Jon soon! Papa Bill

This is my first Christmas living in Greensboro. I've been in NC for 6 years and grew up in New England, but I've never seen such pretty lights in my whole life. Well, I'm 38 .. lol. But, still - I am just in awe at how beautiful the Christmas lights are in Greensboro. These Christmas balls are so unique and beautiful, but also as a whole the Christmas lights in this town are beautiful. All I want to do is drive around every night and look and look and look :-)

In the 'how to' in the right hand column with the hand drawn 'Lighted Christmas Ball' there are instructions on the wiring. Everyone seems to use a different method but it gives you an idea on how to use one extension cord up to power 3 balls.

Hi, from Greensboro originally and made balls last year for our neighborhood in SE Raleigh. But what is the best way to light them. Hook a separate extension cord to each ball?

I live in Winston and haven't ever been over to see your neighborhood, but will in the future. May you all be richly blessed for bringing not only beauty and joy to people's lives, but for doing all the good work with your donations.

I read the poinciana is one of the most beautiful trees in the world. The poinciana + Lighted Christmas Balls must be stunning.

Geoff - you're the greatest. Australia is lucky to have you! Just came back from a drive through the neighborhood with friends from Atlanta. Must have been 1,000 lights within a few minutes drive. Can't wait to see how what you've in Austrailia does. Happy New Year!

Anne,
My daughter lives on walker in Lindley park and she took us to see the lights in sunset Hills. What a treat it was, positively breathtaking. I knew I would find something about this on the internet, as I wanted to show my neighbors here in Surfside Beach, SC, and I did! Thank you for sharing. BTW, we did drop off lots of canned goods!

I am your frequent guest from Elkton, MD. I made two of these tonight, one in white and one in multi-color. They will be hung outside tomorrow. The story of how these are beacons of happiness for cancer patients touched my heart as I am part of Relay for Life. The two that I made will be hung outside as beacons of hope. Thank you for the idea of doing this :)
