They are just one of several families along the Lane who, for years, have been decorating their homes with Christmas light displays and inviting visitors to enjoy.

“It’s just the Christmas spirit that gets this lane going,” said Aimee Branting. “It usually takes about two days to put the entire display up, but we love it.”

This year will be extra special for residents who live along the street as they mark 50 years of decorating their homes.
