But I do remember it was the 1st Christmas that my family decorated the house outside for the holiday. It was very simple, a plastic Santa Claus and snowman, with some lights strung around the doorway. From that humble beginning, we started to expand every yr. There were more plastic figures, more lights, and displays each yr. Back then I lived in a small house in Bechtelsville. It seemed every in
ch of our yard was filled with a display. Our family and friends started calling us the "Griswolds" and like Clark we were driven to make our display bigger and better each yr. We would look for new items all yr long, going to yard sales, flea markets, and retail stores in our quest for different and more dazzling Christmas decorations. The big moment for our Christmas display came when we moved to Boyertown. Now we had a bigger house and yard, along with a wooden fence. Finally, we had space for all of those lights and decorations that we had in storage all those years. This yr we have more LED lights than ever, and more of the house has lights than ever before. One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is driving around and looking at all of the other houses decorated for the holidays. If you're in the area, please stop by, we hope Rudoph's Christmas Wonderland will bring you some cheer this holiday season.
