This Christmas, you need to decorate your abode in Guitar Hero lights rather than the boring old traditional Christmas lights. After erecting 21,268 lights, a fellow named Ric Turner created a holiday dream every teenage boy could ever hope for: a Guitar Hero House.
The house may only work for the song “Cliffs of Dover,†but I'm sure these Guitar Hero Christmas lights would still kick a light-up Santa's butt any day.
Implications - I don't know how Ric Turner's neighbors feel about his extravagant light display, but it's safe to say his entire community loves him for it. Deck your halls this Christmas with Ric Turner's musical light show in mind.
