If you like Christmas celebrations, certainly you’ve passed by this house near the intersection of Kennedy Avenue and N 23rd Street. If you haven’t, you only have a couple more days in which to check it out! It’s worth your time.

This display gets better every year, with familiar characters placed strategically around the yard. I like to think that this version of the Grinch is the one after his heart grew three sizes that day!

Of course, the stars of the show have to be the abominable snowmen…not one, but two! The original big guy now has a little Mini Me monster to keep him company.

Some of you may recall that some chowderhead(s) stole the head off the big snow monster a year or two ago. Not only has the big guy been repaired, but I’m told that security measures are in place. Hopefully nobody tries it again, but if they do I hope they get a beatin’!

Let’s not forget the real reason for Christmas, the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. No Christmas display, no matter how elaborate, would be complete without a nativity scene.

A sign out front invites passers-by to get out and walk around, taking in the sights. The weather was pretty decent so I accepted the invitation to take my little boys out for a walk. They loved the whole display (and the free candy).

It’s nice to see the display still going strong for a few more days after Christmas. I’ve always liked continuing past Christmas Day until the New Year’s holiday has passed before taking down Christmas decorations and getting set for another eleven months of waiting. If you need one mroe little shot of Christmas cheer, don’t hesitate to take it all in before the displays get stowed away!
