joining me is the owner, paul roy. thanks for joining us tonight. tell us how many lights you have here. >> we have right around 100,000 lights. we have been doing that every here now. we initially started 15 years ago. we increased every year until we got to 150,000 lights and said we cannot keep going up, so we changed the theme. with so many lines in so many different individual displays how long does it actually take , you to set all of this up? >> we start doing the planning down, checking them, and then eventually two weeks before , thanksgiving, we start bringing everything out and putting it in place to the plan, and we light up on thanksgiving night. so about one and a half to two months it takes us to get ready. mike: that is something else. i wish you a very happy holiday season and thanks for joining us tonight. >> come back again some day. mike: you can put a smile on a child' s face this holiday season, by donating to wmur' s spirit of giving toy drive. along with our partners z-107 and rock 101 we' ll be collecting new, unwrapped toys
