What's On Tonight (Monday): I've seen the Light, so please don't Fight!

We've got the gol'durn Christmas spirit here at the Monday, Tuesday and Thursday editions of WOT! Tonight's top pick is the 10th (!) season premiere of The Great Christmas Light Fight. I'm no Grinch, but it seems like if you wanted to do something like that responsibly, you'd (a) budget for the higher electricity bill, (b) notify the city and/or your power company and (c) notify your neighbors; I'm pretty sure those kind of light displays aren't allowed in places with homeowners associations. As a matter of fact, I am wearing my "Let Me Just Overthink This" t-shirt right now.
