This is our very old and outdated WEBSITE that we’ve had for 15 years (We keep it because it is kindof our Christmas Time Capsule \ud83d\ude09 )<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT IS HERE!! –August 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>As most of you have probably noticed, our display gets bigger (and we hope you think Better<\/strong>😉<\/strong>) every year. We have also been very blessed to have grown each year with our \u201cfans\/followers\u201d. This has been great, but has also been stressful to us as we didn\u2019t want to create a difficult traffic situation for our neighbors. With this in mind we have always thought about having \u201ca real\u201d drive-through Christmas display. So a few months back God began directing our paths to \u201cgo look for the land!\u201d At the time, we had no idea what God was doing, but we were faithful and began to \u201clook.\u201d While out randomly looking, we stumbled upon the Old Vanguard School. When we pulled in we immediately noticed the trees were wrapped with lights!! And when we pulled up to the gate and saw a sign that said \u201cOur Christmas Town\u201d we about fell over! I remember looking at Mike and saying, \u201cThere\u2019s our \u201cLiteral\u201d sign\u201d and \u201cWouldn\u2019t that be crazy if this is where we are supposed to move to!? God has such a sense of humor for sure!!\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

Little did we know that the next few weeks God would make some HUGE moves and open and close the right doors for us. So yep, we bought a abandoned school!! (Vanguard moved to Bandera during Covid). <\/strong><\/p>\n

And all for the love of CHRISTmas lights!! It\u2019s a Beautiful piece of property on 32 acres with amazing trees and views right off I-10. There is a gym on the property that we are going to host nonprofit events for children\u2019s homes\/etc! (we started a Non-Profit called \u201cShine Bright Ministries, Inc. to do this! <\/strong>😊<\/strong>)
\nWe have SO many plans for this place but first\u2026Christmas lights!<\/strong><\/p>\n

🎄<\/strong><\/p>\n

With all that being said, to continue this grand adventure we are going to have to start charging admission. We have struggled with this, but we hope you will understand and help us continue this ministry. We will always allow families that receive Blessings in a Backpack\/etc. in for free. We will continue our mission of supporting local families in need, and we hope to be able to give back to this community more than ever with your continued support. <\/strong><\/p>\n

We have already expanded our Christmas display a ton (Over 2.5 Million Lights). And yes have been putting lights up ALL Summer! We can\u2019t wait for you to see it! We would definitely appreciate your prayers during these next few months as there is a LOT of TLC that is needed to get the show ready by Nov! But we know God has opened these doors and will see this through.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many Blessings,<\/strong><\/p>\n
