Over-The-Top EDM Christmas Lights Celebrate New Star Wars Movie

Ok, we’re not just talking “Christmas lights” here. Video mapping, projection mapping, moving spotlights – designer Matt Johnson ain’t playing here.

Johnson’s latest Christmas light show continues the tradition and unique style of fast-paced, high-energy, Dubstep and EDM remixed synchronized light displays that have become Matt’s signature style.

This 2017 Star Wars light show is located in downtown San Antonio, Texas at Dignowity Park and runs nightly from 6pm to 10pm until New Years. The show Celebrates the launch of the new movie Star Wars The Last Jedi which will be released December 15th.

I’m pretty sure this beats just about everyone’s holiday decorations. Watch below.

MSNBC: Did Donald Trump Really “Bring Back Christmas?”

I keep hearing about this “War on Christmas” thing.

But where is it?

Donald Trump has said many times he will “bring Christmas back.” But where did it go?

Did we stop celebrating Christmas? I must have missed that one.

Trump tells folks all the time that we’re going to be able to say “Merry Christmas” again – but who stopped?

I know part of the rant from Trump is aimed at his favorite target, President Obama, who the Trumpster claims banned the words “Merry Christmas” from the nation.

But did he?

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes sheds light on whether or not Barack Obama ever said the holiday Christmas greeting.

Teaser: Will & Grace “A Gay Ole Christmas” Special

Even though we have to wait until January 4 for a regular Thursday night episode of Will & Grace, NBC is “gracing” us with a special holiday episode on Tuesday, December 5.

Apparently, the fearsome foursome travel back in time to 1912 Manhattan.

Via TV Guide:

Will & Grace’s “A Gay Olde Christmas,” airing the first week of December, starts with Will (Eric McCormack), Grace (Debra Messing)), Karen’s (Megan Mullally) and Jack (Sean Hayes) wishing they could experience the New York city of old, and then by the magic of TV, are transported to 1912 Manhattan via alter egos.

Will will become Billem Van Williams, a wealthy and worldly (read: probably gay) man with exquisite taste married to Fanny Van Williams, who’ll bear an uncanny resemblance to Grace. Megan Mullally, meanwhile, is in an ironic role reversal as Karolyn O’Malley, a dirt poor woman living in a tenement; she takes in a sailor, John Patrick Mcgee (Sean Hayes) who has relationships with men only at sea. This is all right before World War I, a time of great prosperity — for some — and the episode will show how their disparate worlds intersect.

Additionally, there will be a subtle homage to Debbie Reynolds, who played Grace’s mother during the original run of the show.

Will & Grace airs “A Gay Ole Christmas” Tuesday, Dec. 5 at 9/8c on NBC.

Donald Trump’s Christmas Tweet Gets Bigly Thumbs Down From Internet

The internet got quite a kick out of President-elect Donald Trump’s rather narcissistic Christmas tweet.

Most high-level elected officials share heartwarming images of family – children, grand-children, spouses, etc. But this year? No Melania, Don Jr., Eric; not even Ivanka made the cut.

The Trumpster decided to share a Photoshopped pic of his upraised (tiny) fist set against the backdrop of a Christmas tree. He didn’t even take the time to sit for the shot – he used a screen capture from a recent rally.

Not very warm and holiday-fuzzy, in my opinion.

It appears I’m not alone in my assessement:
