Decor thieves can’t kill Christmas spirit
A couple of years ago, we began to ramp up our Christmas decorating in our Lookout Valley neighborhood. We do it for the community, family and friends, to raise their Christmas spirit and cheer.
This year we had 15 inflatables in the yard, five full-size Christmas trees (inside and out), several figurines, including a full nativity scene, and music-controlled lights. We have had a fantastic and heartwarming response from neighbors, friends, family and complete strangers telling us how much they look forward to our displays.
Since the New Year’s holiday, we have had illnesses and a death in the family and have not been able to fully take down all the decor yet.
It is very sad that someone decided to steal two of the inflatables. They took a 6.5-foot tall penguin and an almost 8-foot tall snowman. Regardless of these pathetic and sad individuals, we will continue our tradition of bringing joy to the community.
