Wizards in Winter
The LOR Sequence
(And Remember: I'm Not Carson Williams!)

In January 2005, Carson Williams posted his Wizards In Winter video to the PlanetChristmas.com Chatroom. At that time I was already in the planning stages for my first computerized light show for 2005. I asked for, and obtained Carson's permission to post the video to my web site. (Note: Some people mistakenly call it Wizards of Winter.)

Please note: I am not Carson Williams! My display is located in Texas, Carson's displays are located in Ohio. Carson is very well aware that his name appears on this site. It was he who gave the link to Snopes.com, and asked me to host instructions for him. Carson has since asked that I remove his instructions from this site.

In 2008, WonderlandChristmas.com was redesigned for the exclusive use of family and friends. The email generated from this site was simply overwhelming, thus the change. It's possible that a few videos of my display will be made available for public viewing in January 2009.
