Old favorites such as the animated Tudor Towne which tells the story of forgiveness, a “choir” of over 900 Gurley candles, Pennsylvania handmade Byers’ Choice carolers, Santa’s from around the world, over 1,000 nativities depicted in their native culture, and much more will bring back many nostalgic memories and joys of childhoods gone by.
