jim6918 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 About a 1/2 hour before my show start time on Saturday night, I answered a knock at my door to find 3 elementary school age neighbors asking when my lights were going to start. I told them 530 and asked why. They said they were going to sell hot chocolate across the street from my light show. Sure enough, they set up a little card table, and for the next 3 hours ran from car to car selling hot chocolate to people watching the show. I glanced out a couple of times and it appeared as though people were buying from them. It sure warmed my heart to think that these kids might have made a few bucks for themselves from my work. Wish I had thought to get a picture of them post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
