It started five years ago with Santa Claus, his reindeer and sleigh, and snowballed into familiar festive scenes complete with music, movement, and lights.
Audrey MacLaurin and her husband, William, say there is no greater joy than seeing the eyes of their six grandchildren twinkle when adding a new decoration to their yard at 12427 Enmore Road, Route 11 in P.E.I.

“Every year, William and I follow a different festive pattern ordered from online and then gather our grandchildren to help paint it. But William has been in woodworking since he was a child, watching his father, and we have a little shop where we make all our displays,” said Audrey while acknowledging the rotating Ferris wheel is her favourite.
William added, "There are a lot of cars that slow down and stop to admire the display in the evenings, but what I like most is seeing the kids happy, and that is the motivation behind our family hobby."
