Last year, an Australian lawyer, David Richards, has set a world record by stringing up almost 1.2 million Christmas lights in a shopping center in Canberra, Australia.
Guinness World Records confirmed last year that the 75 miles of multicoloured wire strung in the shape of three interconnected giant, wrapped Christmas gifts was the largest ever display made up of LED lights.
Mr Richards briefly held the Guinness World Record for the most number of Christmas lights strung on a house, in 2014 (502,165 to be exact. If you rolled it out straight would stretch a distance of 29.8 miles.)
But almost immediately afterwards, a family in LaGrangeville, New York, decorated their home with 601,736 Christmas lights, reclaiming their 2012 record.
Mr. Richards didn't take his loss lying down as he has just set the record for the most lights on a single Christmas tree (518,838 lights.)
Once again, it's nice to see that the public is helping support the public utilities. You know that they are barely eking out a living.
