    Default confounded christmas lights

    OK Christmas is over... (don't get me wrong, I love the Christmas season)

    But the dang shattering christmas lights always give me a jump when I run my mouse over one!
    They wouldn't be so bad but the sound is a bit loud and jarring!! I think my blood pressure jumps several points when I hit one.

    How can I turn them off?

    thanks and Happy Hollidays to all!!

    I would like to put in a first request for July 4th fireworks theme please. And can you make them boom loud enough that the magnets are launched from my speakers and make deep dents in my walls? Thank you very much.

    Have you noticed that the sound is really Stereo? Left lamps make louder ound from the left speaker and similar from the right.

    Although when I read something and am carried away, the sounds surprises me for a moment, I like it. My daughters too!

    The lights have gone out for now. All I see is a Happy New Year message. I developed a skill in dodging those lights. Quick mouse movements, scrolling them outta sight. No more.....
