2012
Starting in the East Yard, we will take a walk around our Display. I used
HDR again this year to capture a different look with the pictures
The East Yard will continue to get developed. I have
plans for an interactive walking display in the future
The Driveway and Walkway are lined with Candy Cane
Posts. The Street is lined with our Road Arches. The Road Arches have 4
colors, Red-Green-Blue-White or a combination of those colors as I turn the
house and other display elements the same colors
Front of house showing off the Peanuts Nativities
"raise" they requested this year
I think I am the only one who was not hip on them
going up there. The overwhelming sentiment was that it was a great change to
the display
Linus & Sally are highlighted here in our custom "Linus
Monologue, Hark the Herald Angels" song. I can independently control Charlie
Brown, Schroeder and Snoopy as well
The Porch got a update with Marty the Moose standing
guard. This is also a favorite photo spot for our visitors
Our Formal Nativity framed by
our Church Arches, Trumpeting and Gloria Angels
The Reason for the Season
The house/yard almost look bare from this perspective,
that is until you take 10 steps backwards!
Mrs Claus decided to join Santa and let the wind/rain
blow through her bonnet
View from the Street and if you look real hard, you will see our Golden
Girls out watching Daddy play with his camera
The Yellow Snow Family as part of our Yellow Snow vignette. They are my
oldest display items at around 14yrs old
Moving down the street to the Walking Display entrance
Spike O'Neil of the Bob Rivers radio show pictured
right, was put out front to assist with our Memorial Song. He also has a
cameo in Decorations and our Closing Numbers
Center Stage, Rudy, Elfis and the Band. The
Nutcrackers doubled as Security Guards to keep Elfis's groupies at bay
Center Stage was also the Heart Light of our 2012
Display. This was the Memorial Vignette that was dedicated to my Mom this
year. Many tears and sniffles were shared this year with visitors talking
about her
The Heart Light was outlined by 32 Mini Trees
Overseeing the Heart Light, was our Mom Angel
The Display Entrance got a bit of an overhaul in 2012,
with a new Donation Box, Display Flyer and Mistletoe Pole
Looking around the corner to the west yard. This area was designated a No
Parking Zone, which allowed a safety corridor for guests and a better view
for those parking across the street if they wanted to watch part of the
display in bad weather
The West Yard
The Bear, formerly guarding the porch was designated the task of protecting
the Star Light Walk and Arbor entrance
The West Yard looking toward the house with Santa and
his Sleigh. This is what I call the Tree Within a Tree. It has 4 trees of
Red-Green-Blue-White and The Forest can match those colors
The Light Fan (called Peacock Tail by a lot of
guests). The Lighted Deer Herd kept nibbling at the accompanying Mini Trees.
As always, Santa is responsible for keeping Taz under close watch
The Santi-Can was adorned finally with a crescent moon, or as I described
it, the Santa-Moon on the Santi-Can!
