BY CLARE HOPKINS VILLAGER STAFF WRITER BROOKYLN — By looking at his Brooklyn home, one can tell Chris Lambert has gotten into the holiday spirit this year. More 50,000 lights adorn the front of his home, synchronized to light up with a variety of different Christmas music. “I started 10 years ago, and just amped it up a little every year,” said Lambert. “Four years ago I synchronized it to music.” Three years ago, Lambert decided to use his attraction to help a cause, putting a donation box at the end of the driveway and collecting around $1,000 for the Brooklyn School Department. Last year and again this year, Lambert is collecting money for the Connecticut Make A Wish Foundation, an organization that grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions. “I chose it because I think it best embodies the spirit of the season,” he said. “We collect- ed $3,600 last year and so far were on track this year to do even better.” The thousands of lights on the front of his home and yard are synchronized with eight different Christmas songs, and Lambert said he hopes to add more though it is time con- suming. He uses a computer program called Light-O-Rama. “I chose this program because it’s very easy to work with,” he said.
