I realized that, now that I moved out of my apartment and into a proper house, I can get more creative with my Christmas lights this year. But as I looked at other houses in the neighborhood for ideas, I realized that all of the common things you tend to see, like lighted snowmen in the front yard, light "icicles" hanging from the roof, etc., don't really appeal to me at all. Then today I realized that I can take my lighting inspiration from another part of my life.

Since so few of my friends are pilots, I suppose I should explain that it's supposed to be runway lighting. White lights mark the sides of the runway, green is the start of it, red is the end, and blue lights delimit taxiways. I ransacked the internet trying to find a good, clear picture of real runway lights to offer in comparison, but they're surprisingly rare. I guess it's pretty hard to take a good picture at night from a bumpy light plane. Here's the best I could find (originally from this page).
