Holiday light displays in Baltimore County
Holiday light displays are going up in neighborhoods all around the Baltimore County area. Some are simpler, some are more elaborate and some — like Phil Hoesch’s display at his parents’ Cockeysville home — are coordinated to music played over a low-frequency radio signal. Watch the video below to see Hoesch’s display in action.

- Bill and Bonnie Ariano have lived and decorated their home at 407 Gittings Ave. for the past 22 years. Bill started with only six strands of lights and has added lights every year since. They both said people have been known to stop by and take pictures of their home. They said they even have received gifts and got a letter last year that said, “Dear Christmas House”. Bonnie said, “It has been really touching.” (Jen Rynda/BSMG)
