Last year the 56,000 light Christmas display which adorned Jan Stewart's Fountain Valley, California home went viral, with a YouTube video of the lights in action garnering close to 500,000 views.

Everyone knows Christmas Day is all about tearing open presents, spending time with loved ones, gorging on lots of good food and celebrating the holiday spirit in general. Even though most of us have got the holiday thing down by now, some folks out there might not be aware of some of the unusual and history-making events marking Christmas Day and Christmas Eve in the past.

Send us a picture of your home decked out for the holidays, and you could win some great prizes from Newstalk 870 -- maybe even be crowned "King Griswold" of Tri-Cities!

If you think about it, the guy has to pull off delivering like, millions and millions of presents to people all around the world, so of course Santa needs to relax a bit post-Christmas. You know--

According to media sources in Hawaii, President Obama plans to hang loose for about 20 days, including the day when the U.S. will go "over the fiscal cliff" unless a budget and tax plan is reached.
