While most people switch their own Christmas lights on and off a couple in Alaska have gone that step further and given strangers the chance to control their lights.

This is the sixth year Ken and Rebecca-Ellen Woods from Fairbanks in central Alaska have let the general public control over the internet.

By simply visiting their website you can control 12 lights inside and outside their house including those around their windows, wreaths and even their living room!

In a recent interview Ken told ABC News, "The very first year we did it, we did one string of lights on the tree". He continued, "it was cool, but then we added a web camera pointing at the tree and then the reaction blew up. A week into it, my wife turned to me and said, 'Next year, these are going outside.' It was super annoying in the middle of the night."
