The Christmas House

 Neighborhood Attraction

One family in my neighborhood puts a great effort into Christmas decoration. Their house draws many spectators not only from neighborhood residents but also from many others who cruise around to see Christmas lights. The front lawn is densely packed with displays. The next picture captures most of them but doesn't include others beyond the driveway on the right.

The open garage on the right is the highpoint of the show. As seen below, it is transformed into a Christmas wonderland that rivals any department store or mall display.

An animatronic reindeer and Santa greet those who enter. Kids and families can sit for pictures on Santa's chair while Santa moves and recites Santa talk. All this is quite popular with visitors. I was particularly impressed by the miniature villages on the left.

This is truly a magical creation! Below are three closer views. As always, click on images to enlarge for the best view.


Someone spends a lot of time to carefully arrange all this detail. We are all grateful!

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
