The Best Xmas Display in the City

Every November, a certain house in my neighborhood begins to buzz with activity. The owner of the house at the corner of Atlantic and Amsterdam starts the yearly task of putting up Christmas decorations. And they are decorations like no other.

Cars can be found parked on that street all through the holiday season, with families lingering on the sidewalk peering into this amazing yard display.

A switch kindly informs visitors when the display will be operational.

The display fills the backyard, wraps around the side of the house and spills into the front yard.

Every Christmas lawn decoration that you have ever seen has a place here.

I get a warm feeling whenever I go to see the display. These people don't have to do this. No ones makes them. No one asks them. It's a lot of work, yet every year... there it is... delighting everyone that sees it. You just know they love Christmas and to them I say "Thank You".

I'm Jenny, and I came to Rochester to get my Master's at RIT and *SURPRISE!* ... 10 years later I'm still here with:
  • a house in the city
  • a cat
  • a dog
  • a rabbit
  • a husband
  • a snowboard
  • a job as a web designer at Kodak In this blog I will write about life in Rochester including:
  • food
  • shopping
  • events
  • sights
  • weird weather
  • occasionally things like cupcakes and pugs
    I have been blogging on my own site, www.ljcfyi.com, for six years and just started contributing to Kodak's corporate blog, 1000words.kodak.com, this year. Hopefully these posts will be as funny/interesting/weird as my posts on those sites.
