People want to get into the spirit of Christmas, and = those people=20 want other people to notice that, said Livermore's Alex = Dourov, who=20 operates lightsofthevalley.com, a Web site dedicated to = Christmas=20 displays
in the Valley. "You take a risk something may be = vandalized or=20 stolen, but that's the cost of business."=20
For this holiday season, Dourov reviewed more than 150 = displays.=20 He said he tried to be objective but added that "98 percent = of the=20 Web site is my opinion."=20
His tastes are particular. He's not wild about icicle = lights nor=20 what he called the latest trend: rope lights. "Too sterile," = Dourov=20 said.=20

"It's strictly a hobby now, I guess you can say," said = Stanley, a=20 retired furniture installer.=20
Stanley has decorated his home for 12 years. The project = gets=20 larger every year but always has been a sincere, = noncompetitive=20 Christmas gesture, he said.=20
"For anyone who gets involved in this kind of project and = keeps=20 it going, it's surely an act of love," he said.=20
"I really do enjoy doing this," said Stanley, who takes = one month=20 to assemble his display.=20

"Everyone counts on the display," said Susan Widmer. = "It's been=20 harder because he doesn't have the energy. ... But he's not = going to=20 slow down. He will keep doing (the display) forever."=20

"I never really paid attention to how this affects the=20 electricity bill," he said, "and I would hate to even go out = and=20 count the amount of lights.=20
"During the daytime, you see nothing but extension cords = and=20 light bulbs. It's kind of unsightly. But at night, we get a = constant=20 stream of cars coming by. The closer to Christmas, the = bigger the=20 stream."
