4 cylindrical glowing towers of light seen stationary in a cloudy sky

After finishing wrapping presents and getting Christmas ready for our daughters. I stepped outside into my backyard. It was 2am, Christmas morning. I noticed some lights glowing in the sky where typically we don't have any flying aircraft or landing patterns have airplanes. We do live close to a big international airport, but the planes are never flying this close, stationary or in this area of the sky. I have all the landing and take off patterns around our house as I see them often during the day and night. They looked to me pretty close (0.5 miles) away, which was really close. Once I confirmed that this couldn't be a airplane, I called my wife to come out and take a look. They cylindrical towers of light were stationary and not moving up or down, but glowing. Once she also confirmed that this was unusual, I took video of the occurrence and two photos. I am a skeptic, but this was incredibly convincing and undeniably strange and unique. Either Santa Claus is real or Aliens or maybe Santa is an alein. Either way, I would love to know if others reported this occurrence in the NorthEast Houston area of Kingwood, Humble and Atascocita.
