Merry On Cherry

Setting Up For Christmas

2025 Christmas show is underway. We expect to run through Wednesday 12/31, 5-9:30p.

For daily show details or to post comments, find us on Facebook. (For nerdy stuff, stay here on this site.)

A reminder that shows always end at 9:30, even if you say you’re from out of town followed by an expectant pause. If you are hoping to see lights, but it’s after 9 or after 12/31, you should not come here, but instead look up whether https://www.facebook.com/ChristmasonRunaway/, https://www.facebook.com/SpectacleOnSummerStreet/, or https://www.facebook.com/groups/3014879108733158/ are still running.

The show is just blinking lights and music. As in past years, the show will change as the season progresses, which is a way of saying that things won’t be quite done on the first day, but I’ll switch it all on anyway. No rush to see it open… if you come back in a week, it might be a better show with more songs, or more props may be out.

A lot of people ask what’s new this year… there are a few new songs, a few refinements to the lights, and a couple of interesting items for the kids. On the whole though, it’s pretty much the same thing as always… if you liked it before then, good news, most of last year’s stuff is still here. On the other hand, if you hated it last year, we haven’t really done anything that would win you over.

This is just supposed to be a fun show to come see, a gift in the true sense, with no obligation to anyone or anything. But some people essentially won’t leave until they’ve donated to something, so in Christmases past we have collected cash for Fresh Start Furniture Bank, as we wholeheartedly support this organization. If you do want to donate to them directly on their web page, or prefer to donate to other charities, please go right ahead.

About Us

Like millions of people in the world, we put up lights at Christmas (and, as of 2022, at Halloween). We put up more lights than average. We get questions. We have a lot of people and companies to thank for their ideas, products, and work. We managed to take a few videos and put them on the vimeo page (and link to them on the playlist post). While we mostly borrow ideas from others, sometimes we have ideas that other blinky nuts may want to borrow.
