Why did we do our Christmas lights this way?


people keep asking us why we did this.

Scott has added more music to the Christmas light show. Several familiar Christmas songs as well as some music from the 'Grinch' have been added.

1. We did it for the kid in all of us. It's not just little kids that are getting a kick out of watching our lights. Its all ages that stop to look and listen. When Scott was a little boy he loved the lights and I did too. Both of us can remember our parents driving us around to see the Christmas lights before we went to bed on Christmas Eve. We have never gotten over looking at Christmas lights. Plus, before my Daddy died in 1996, he wanted to put lights all over his house. He never got the chance to do it the way he wanted. Bright and a lot of lights. So we have taken up the gauntlet and will do our best to carry on the task that he set out to do. DT would love it!!!
2. Its a great hobby. Scott gets so much joy and satisfaction out of thinking up and planning the light sequences and displays! The laughter and smiles from the people that are watching is the best gift he could ever get.
3. We have been so blessed and the light show is our gift to our community. However, we would like to draw attention to our favorite charity. This is the Season for giving and we will be collecting donations for the Our Daily Bread Food Pantry from now until December 19th. We will be packing the Christmas food boxes on the 21st and the Pantry is still short a few items. A large barrel will be out front to collect non-perishable food items. We could really use peanut butter and coffee. Please stop by and enjoy our lights and music and help fill a box for a needy family this Christmas. Merry Christmas to all!
