Be sure to check the Workshop Notes to follow the progress of setup. There is a lot of work involved in putting up a display like this. You can also check out the pictures and videos from this years display.
Child to Santa Claus: 'I don't want any toys this year. All I want for Christmas is for my parents to stop fighting and being mean to each other. I just want them to love each other again.' What can you say to that? We really hope her Christmas wish came true!
Reunited family: 'We come from Indiana every year. We have extended family in the area that we used to see only every few years or so. Now, we make the trip to see the lights and visit with them every year! Thanks for bringing us all together.'
Quality time: A van was out many evenings for hours at a time. Finally, I approached them and chatted. The man was an older gentleman and he brought out his disabled daughter since they both enjoy Christmas. He lived in a nearby town and used to put up many lights until his health started failing. We spoke for a good hour. He has been undergoing cancer treatment. I received a message about a week and a half later from his daughter after talking to them. 'I wish to thank you for your hard work in your Christmas lights. It gave me and my dad a lot of quality time together watching the lights dance without worry about his health. He passed away just recently, but I am glad for the memories and alone time we spent together. I am glad that some of his last memories was that of your lights which he really enjoyed and the time we spent together. He really enjoyed talking to you. Thanks again.'
Each of these are touching in their own way, and some have a happy outcome while others ended sadly. But in these cases, there was a short period of either hope or togetherness that may have otherwise been lost.
This is why we continue to do this each year. If you have a story to share, please contact us.
