edit: plus im pretty sure that isnt a guy, i think thats just a mailbox and the combination of the dim overall lighting, the constantly changing light fromt he christma slgihts, and the bad video quality make it look like itmight be a guy

I took a close look at the video and watched it frame by frame and there is no indication that a person was going around and turning those lights on. (there is also no evidence that this was not filmed all at one time.) If you turn the brightness and contrast up and make the colors more intense, you can clearly see that there is no one in front of the house during the entire video.
To the best that I can tell, it'* legit.
