Grayson Lights http://graysonlights.com Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 23 Jan 2010 15:03:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 The Lights are Coming Down http://graysonlights.com/2010/01/the-lights-are-coming-down/ http://graysonlights.com/2010/01/the-lights-are-coming-down/#comments Sat, 23 Jan 2010 14:57:52 +0000 Gina Burns http://graysonlights.com/?p=364 Well,  it is January 23rd and the lights are coming down now.   I always hate this time of the year not because of the work that it takes to get the lights down and reorganized and put away but because the lights are off.  It just seems alittle bit darker around here right now.  But as we say in our house let’s move on!  So we are!  We have already started planning 2010 display.

Something new is happening!    Every year during the holidays Magic 96.5 FM does their Magic Christmas Wish program.  This program helps families around the area who can not afford a Christmas for their children or families that are going through a difficult time.  Every year I listen to the stories and every year I cry saying there is got to be something that I can do to help…..well there is!   I am happy to announce that we will be taking donations for the Magic Christmas Wish at our light display this year!  We will have a donation box and anything and everything that is put into the box will be given to Magic Christmas Wish! 

Don’t worry we will NOT start charging  people to come and see the lights we do this crazy thing for our community and we will never charge.  We just want to give people the opportunity to give if they choice to do so. 

So, Grayson Lights 2010 will bigger and better so please tell your friends about us and we can’t wait to see you this Christmas season which is the best time of the year!

Just like TV they got their info wrong! LOL…in the segment they said that it was community of houses but in reality it is just us that decorate like this for the holidays.

So the lights are finally starting to go up!  Tonight was the first time we were able to work on the lights because of the lack of rain!  I think the weather man said we had 23 days of rain so far in the past month or so.  We have 3 full working weekends to get up 40,000 lights up so we are praying against the rain.
