For those who were in Memphis the night of the Candlelight Vigil. What were your reactions when the lights in Elvis' room came on? Reactions of those around you?

For those who have been to Graceland - which is better - Graceland at Christmastime, Graceland on Jan. 8 or Graceland in August.
Am saving my waitstaf tips, & would like to plan a great trip at the best time so would appreciate any hints you have for me.
