A Child's Christmas Dream

Two things that make this display unique - I hand make it, and it's a new display each year, and this is real close to the 50th year I've designed and built one. Tons of work, but my dream has always been to re-create the magic I felt when I first saw a man's display that he did in Spokane 55 years ago. If I have that effect on even 1 person, then my wish is fulfilled!
