I have my two eldest Grand daughters staying at the moment and we went and saw the local Santa's Grotto today.. A local couple are Mr and Mrs Christmas, they spend a good part of November and December putting on a display for people to come from near and far to see.. They go on oversea's trips to collect up different ornaments through out the year .. they must go through $1,000's of battries every year.. They started putting on the display about 15 years ago and had it in their home now they have to have it in the 'Town Hall"...
Its amazing to hear of more and more people doing this sort of thing! They do it every year and plan so far ahead! Perhaps they get pleasure from all the visitors smiles!
