2005 Christmas Theme

Enter the driveway under a 2 story building adorned with gingerbread men keeping watch. Mrs. Claus keeps an eye on the work going on in her bakery while an elevator takes supplies up and down from the second floor. On the other side, an elf makes sure Santa will have all the cookies and candy canes he'll need for his busy night. Mrs. Claus' house is next, featuring the 2 doves that are found somewhere in the display every year. A mailbox takes letters to Santa - and yes, we make sure he gets them and replies! A gingerbread house next door has large gingerbreads circling on the first floor, while elves decorate a tree in the second floor windows. Don't forget to try your luck at the coin toss! All donations go to Santa's Secret Service, providing gifts and entertainment to nursing homes, shelters, and others in need at Christmas. A windmill that really turns is making candy and taffy in the corner, and a huge hot chocolate pot boils in the other corner. Elves are making sure the cookie and hot chocolate vendor near the exit is well stocked! Be sure to check out the roof of the house, where "One Nation Under God" is displayed in lights.
