    My sole Christmas decoration is a light display which I built for 'DSG many years ago. It's a BASIC Stamp experimenter board with a BS-24Sp attached, and with 16 LEDs of various colors connected to the I/O pins.

    Program loop has a couple of random number generators; one for pin select and the other for "on" duration. The LEDs themselves are transparent, high brightness types. They're aimed at angles to each other so the thing projects a decent sized cone of light on the ceiling.

    A relic of times gone past, no doubt.
