You will NOT break me!!

I’m not sure what this person thought they were getting from inside. Some fake snow? Some 3D trinkets (though nicely made) with what the value?? Other than the fun of destruction?

Just wanted to leave the tree through this week’s holidays…I guess we should be thankful that it didn’t get touched during our 21 days, but this makes my Christmas heart sad.

I was one day too late picking it up. Was scheduled for tonight, and should’ve been yesterday apparently.

But you will not defeat me. You will not defeat Christmas. You will not take away the purpose of the Season, nor the purpose of our event. I believe in Christmas. I will not let go of hope for our City. I will not give in. I choose to never stop trying to make the difference, make improvements, and give to this community.

But my heart is sad

Day 21: Story time with Mrs Claus

‘Twas the Cajun Night Before Christmas…with her pirogue and alligator

So many braved the cold for our final night. Preparing for Santa as we head into Christmas week. We love that Mrs Claus takes the time away from the North Pole to read to us! The Berry Queens hosted and provided goodie bags for all

It’s a perfect way to end our second season. See you all next year!!

Day 20 Our final movie night. And what better way to get ready for Santa Claus than with…The Santa Clause??!! We had popcorn, cold drinks, cocoa and lots of snuggle up. Great movie that everyone in the family likes!

Our Head Elf may have forgotten to mention it during our live yesterday with all of her excitement, so we think he deserves his own thank you post!

Thank you to Mr. Chad Courtois, Advantaged Assets for being so patient, understanding and supportive of Teresa's vision. Not minding her absence during the 21 days and his generous giving to the cause by sponsoring so much of behind the scenes costs. He also didn't fuss too much with all of her supplies piling up and taking over the house as she prepared for all of the events! Mr. Chad is one of a kind...you never saw him shake his head with all of the craziness going on...he always greeted with a smile!

Chad, from Teresa and all of her elves, THANK YOU!
