The challenge is to concentrate as many Christmas lights into a small space as possible, or so it seems. Why else would you decorate a tiny room with no furniture? Watch as Justin strings lights in a closet and adds extra Christmas enhancements. You know he fell off those ridiculous homemade stilts at least once. And how many plug-ins can one electrical outlet hold? When the big moment comes, you expect a fire instead of Christmas lights. Watch the video before you continue reading.
Things aren't always what they seem. The decorator is illusionist Justin Flom, who specializes in over-the-top constructions. The first clue was when I wondered why he didn't just string the lights end-to-end with each other. These are LEDS, and the number of strings won't pull anywhere near the electricity of older lights. My front porch has more Christmas lights (covering a much larger area) than this room, and they are all connected to one outlet. You have to remember that Clark Griswold decorated his home in Christmas Vacation in 1989, before LED lights were available to consumers. The sparks are an added effect generated by an prop device.
You might recall this house from a previous video that illustrates Flom's mindset. After that, a Christmas closet makes perfect sense.

Holy Guacamole! But actually, my favourite thing in this whole video is the rabbit wallpaper outside the closet!
I just watched the previous video -- HOLY GUACAMOLE! It's even better! And again with the rabbit wallpaper. But if he's a magician, it makes sense.
