Reviews
We get feedback in multiple locations (e.g., Facebook, Tacky Light Tour, E-Mail) so we thought it might be fun to capture some of it and present it here on our site. If this sparks you to shar your thoughts we'd love to hear from you via any of those previously mentioned methods or via the Contact Us page on this site. I'll also share some of the great conversations that I have with viewers.

2024 December (week of Christmas)
While directing traffic I encountered the Whitten family again. One of the daughters, Arleigh, was pleased to give me a thank you note. She shared, as indicated in her note, that she had been coming for many years and our house was her favorite. She wanted to be certain that I understood her note so she read it to me and provided instructions for things that might confuse me. Here are her instructions.
“jijrbed” = gingerbread
“bLe” = boy – She said this was me.
“grls” = girls (the “g” is backwards so it looks like an “e”) – She said this was her.
I look forward to seeing the Whitten family again for the 2025 show.

"It is really a Christmas light show! Never seen anything like it! Pierce Lights in Alpharetta, Georgia has become part of our family's Christmas tradition along with the Alpharetta Christmas Tree Lighting, church services and watching Elf, Christmas Vacation, the Christmas Story, Small One and A Christmas Carol. We could park and watch the Christmas lights for hours. We have really never seen anything like it. It is so entertaining, so precise, so detailed, so educational and so fun. There is really something for all ages in this Christmas light show."

Matt Burgess - Owner, Tacky Light Tour
As I was talking to folks who were waiting in line to see the show, a viewer shared with me that she and her family were on their way to see a "whole neighborhood of lights" and when they saw the line of cars, as they were driving by, they went on the internet to find out what was happening here. They saw that it was a Christmas light show and decided to give it a look. I told her it was just one house with nearly 50k lights and would love to hear what she thought after watching the show. As they were leaving, they stopped the car and she told me "It was amazing, it's like a whole neighborhood in one yard and well worth the wait in line." She shared that they would save the "neighborhood" for another night, they had satisfied their need for lights for the night.

Awards
Over the years we've encountered some folks who take the viewing of Christmas lights quite seriously and have created rating systems and awards. We've been the fortunate recipient of some of these awards. I want to use this section to honor the presenters of the awards and express our appreciation as a recipient.
2024 Bechard's Light Competition - 1st Place
I was pleased to be directing traffic when the Bechard family came to visit. They shared that life had been busy and they had not found time to make award certificates for 2024. They did, however, assure me that we were still worthy of a virtual First Place.
2022 Bechard's Light Competition - 1st Place
2022.12.24 - Once again I found the coveted Bechard 1st Place Award in our mailbox.

2020 Christmas Light Competition - Ultimate 1st Place
We found this award in our mailbox. I wish that I had been outside to greet the folks who presented it. I'm pretty certain that this was awarded by the Bechard family again.
The photo shows the certificate and the trophy (an RGB color changing Christmas Tree). We are honored to be the recipient of this award.
2023 Bechard's Light Competition - 2nd Place
I was pleased to be directing traffic when the Bechard family came to visit. We received another of their annual awards. It appears that someone out there was better than us this year as we got 2nd place. I guess we'll have to step up or game nest year. We're always honored to receive a Bechard family award. The image shows this year's certificate.
