Nothing compares 2 yule at this Minnesota home. (Get it?) For their annual light display, Mike Staudt and his family decorated their house just down the street from Prince's Paisley Park studio with 10,000 purple lights to honor the memory of the Purple One.
"Prince's passing meant so much to our community that we decided to do a short dedication during the intermission of our Christmas light show to honor him," Staudt told the Star Tribune. "We've received compliments on this part of our show and a few people have even mentioned it made them teary-eyed."
The entire show—which also includes the Star Wars theme and a Snoop Dogg Christmas song—lasts 14 minutes with the "Purple Rain" tribute right in the middle.
And the Staudts aren't the only ones honoring Prince this year with an epic light show. Another family also included a Prince medley in their display in Park Ridge, Illinois.
If you're looking for a slightly less ambitious way of honoring the Purple One this Christmas, turn "Another Lonely Christmas" on repeat and try one of these other ideas to celebrate what the Internet is now calling "Princemas" this year.
Don't have a whole house to decorate? Put up some Prince-themed lights in your apartment window like this guy.
Or you can place a *real* star on your tree.
Note: This Etsy shop makes a glitter-covered Prince tree topper if that's your jam and you can pick up a strand of those obscure—but totally fabulous—purple lights here.
Prince ornaments are a must too.
