My Brother's Christmas House will be on Good Morning American on December 9th

Lots of you have read posts over the years about how my brother and his family go all out at Christmas decorating their house and the surrounding houses in the culdesac. Well Good Morning America picked his house to broadcast from this Tuesday, December 9th.

The ABC/GMA crew is there today interviewing Scott and the family, setting the camera shots for Tuesday and taking some day time pictures. Then they'll be broadcasting live on Tuesday morning at 4 am (California time) (7 am East Coast Time).

There's a full castle facade over their house with turrets and towers. All over the yard are cartoon characters galore all free hand drawn, cut out and hand painted by Scott. Some of the larger characters include an 18' giraffe from Madagasdar, a 22' tall Bumble from Rudolph, 20' Dragon from Sleeping Beauty and they added a 23' tall Genie from Alladin this year. Every house in the culdesac is another theme. And in their garage is a village scene with lots to look at.

I hope you catch the footage... It's pretty cool.

I talked to my brother this morning. They filmed for 5 1/2 hours yesterday and will be showing some of the footage tomorrow - Tuesday. Not sure how long the coverage will be for - I bet they take it down to about a minute!

That's Television! But at least you'll get the idea!

Being a ridiculous nightowl has it's disadvantages...

Aaaack!! I should've gone to bed earlier!!!

I just saw the coverage. They took 5 1/2 hours down to about a minute and didn't show any of the neighbors homes. But it was still cool to see my baby brother, Scott, on GMA.

From what I saw of Weaver/s Winter Wondeland, It was way cool...

Perhaps you could share some pics here with us at some point..

It was so short! I was hoping that they'd have a clear shot of the entire
neighborhood. The closeups of the myriad figures made it hard to get a
good feel for the cul de sac. Thanks for sharing, the faces of all those
thrilled kids staring at the houses was great to see.

I was really hoping they're show the whole neighborhood also. It's pretty amazing.

That's easily the most amazing thing I've ever seen as far as Christmas decorations are concerned. Tremendous job!

He's a very talented guy and he really gets into Christmas. Apparently the local stations are going to show more of the footage out there in California. They've had the newspapers out there taking pictures and interviewing Scott and his family and the mayor of the city has been over to the house as well. I'm so excited for them. They truly know what Christmas spirit is all about.

There was something special about the broadcast this morning as well. They played the Chipmunks Christmas song which was our Mom's favorite Christmas tune of all time. We still have the original record cut on clear red vinyl. What's special about it is that we didn't know what music they were going to play. Our Mom passed away on Christmas Eve in 2004 and she is represented as an angel on their roof with Mom's profile and some of Mom's jewelry embedded in the angel's wings. I'm sure she'd been absolutely thrilled to know that while showing Scott's house they placed HER Christmas song. I bet Mom was working some kind of magic from above to get that music.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
