Welcome to Christmas in Alabama
Happy NewYear!
The lights are now off and we are finished taking down and storing the display.
We are already soldering new circuit boards and planning to add more lights and elements for Christmas 2010.
Thanks for visiting and making Christmas in Alabama part of your family's celebration!

DAD update
AJ Bradley, the patriarch of Christmas in Alabama had 4 bypass open heart surgery in December 2009.
His rehab schedule doesn't allow him to help tear down the lights , but he is soldering away on new circuits for 2010
Countdown Clock
We built a countdown clock in 2008. It displayed the Weeks, Days, Hours, Minutes and Seconds until Christmas!
It contains about 3000 bulbs and 57 computer controlled channels running on software we wrote in Visual Basic.
In 2009 the clock was modified to show only days, hours minutes and seconds until christmas.

Videos
Here is a quick clip of our Snowman's Toy Factory from 2007.
Snowballs are shoveled into the factury chute, where they are processed
and come out as Teddy Bears. The bears go down a conveyor where they drop
into a box, which is then tossed into the train for delivery. The conveyor
belts aren't working as I'd like , since they were built
with these lights. After the seaon, we will have to rebuild the belts,
as we already have rebuilt the snowflakes and snowballs.
