(CNN) – Tired of the same old drive-by christmas light viewings?

Try this angle: a bird’s eye view.

Daryl Watkins used a drone to show off the holiday display at Al and Esther Thompson’s house in Richmond, Virginia.

They’ve been lighting up their home since 1999.

This year they used more than 170-thousand lights, nearly 800 homemade decorations, 50 breakers and 100 outlets.

It took 537 hours to put it all up.
