One Mississippi Christmas light display is gaining a bit of social media fame thanks to 40,500 dancing lights and a little technical ingenuity.

Johnathan Hattula spent weeks setting up his extravagant holiday display of light and music at his Biloxi home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Johnathan and his wife Victoria decided to do the light show synced to music broadcast on their own radio station 101.7FM to spread a little holiday cheer.

Little did they know when they posted their first video of the display that it would garner attention from across the world.
