The lights are hung by the gutters with care in hopes that some passer-byers soon would be here. With the lights all aglow, over 20,000 of them, the drivers all know, the warmth of the festivities are set for the show. The nativity is lit, the carolers are singing outside the church and the gingerbread people are outside playing. Santa’s sleigh is packed with packages and the snowmen lined sidewalk is the path to the animated bay windows. The train is coming thru the archway on its way to the North Pole. Santa is here most nights to see all the good boys and girls. He will be passing out candy canes to those who are nice while those who are not had better think twice. Come enjoy fantasy land if only for a few minutes, we are sure it will put a smile on the faces of the young and old. The music is charming, the scene is complete. Come by our home, we promise it is neat. Merry Christmas !!
