Western North Caroina family gifted larger-than-life light display
CULLOWHEE, NC (WLOS) — Christmas is looking a lot brighter this year for a family in Cullowhee – quite literally.
The Alvarez family was gifted a larger-than-life Christmas light display on Tuesday. Four thousand lights, 200-feet of garland, life-sized snowmen and giant snowflakes make the house visible from across town.
“It’s so awesome,” Geisha Alvarez exclaimed. “Everybody knows we live here now!”
The surprise was pulled off by Brandon Stephens, president of Christmas Décor, and seven of his helpful elves.
“We were able to knock the display out in probably 4.5 hours,” Stephens said.
The professional home and business decoration company makes it its mission to give back to deserving families across the country. The business has installed displays for 200 families each year since 2005. The Alvarez family’s home, one of their latest projects.
“For us, it was evident that they deserved some recognition,” Stephens said. “They deserved a gift.”
The Alvarez family was nominated for the installation by two people who don’t even know each other.
