    It's not often that you see happy news broadcasts but you gotta love moments like this when there are. I'm happy that the community around this couple was able to save Christmas.

    My favorite memory of Christmas is piling into the car with my family (well half of them, there were 10 kids) and looking at Christmas lights. Thank you to everyone that dresses up their home. It is really a lot of work and expense.
