The lights are down and put away. We were lucky on the front end to have nice weather to put the lights up, and lucky on the back end taking them down. We did have to wait a few days after New Year’s Day for the snow to melt and the wind to calm down, but got it all done with Mary’s help.

Last night we had snow and today the temperatures are only getting into the low 20’s with a wind chill around 10º, so it’s a good day to be posting videos of our Christmas lights display on this website.

As mentioned in an earlier post, two shows were developed to run on alternating nights. And each song in both shows was connected with running dialog. So they are best viewed in sequence. To watch the two shows, click on the links below:

And there you have it. For our out-of-town friends, the videos are OK but not as good as when seen in person. And for our KC friends, hope you got by to see the real thing, but if not, hope you enjoy the videos.

It was a most enjoyable experience, being able to bring a symbol of the light of Christ during the dark December nights to those who passed by, as well as providing joy through the seeing and hearing of our Christmas lights display. May you keep Christmas in your heart, hands, and mind each and every day of 2008.
