CHRISTMAS!
1994 is remembered as a sad year for the Osborne family because they were ordered to shut down their Christmas light display at their Little Rock home, 1995 has to go down as one of the banner years.
Beginning in 1995, the Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights opened with 3 million lights and has become one of the park's favorite attractions. The display opens at Thanksgiving and runs through the middle of January. Jennings, Mitzi and Breezy are the guests of honor each year from Dec. 26 to New Year's Day.
'When we were ordered to shut off our lights in Little Rock,
it was one of the lowest times in my life because the neighbors were denying a gift I was giving,' Jennings says. 'But now, I can give my gift to millions.'
The Osborne family also sponsors lights exhibits in 32 cities in Arkansas.
Here are some pictures of their display. Enjoy! :)

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box
upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good
you do yourself. ~Norman Wesley Brooks, 1976
