Gingerbread-house

Definition

A house so aggressively decorated with Christmas lights that it's visible from space and probably contributes more to the local power grid than a small business. The electrical bill is basically a second mortgage.

Example Usage

Their whole neighborhood jokes about the gingerbread-house on Maple Street—you could read by it at midnight in July.
