Since 2010, the residents of 1437 Camino Robles Way have built one of “those houses” during the holidays. Every year they create a spectacular display of lights synchronized to holiday music. They call is 
Almaden Valley home lights up the night with Christmas music and lights. Just how many lights? More than 8,500 white, red, and green lights on 10 little trees and the walkway. The house also has dripping icicle lights and some strobe lights. The lights are synchronized across the yard to suit the mood of the background music being played.
