Four million lights celebrate Christmas - Silver Dollar City near Branson

by Randall Murphree for OneNewsMedia.com (e-newsletter from American Family Association)


The folks at Silver Dollar City (SDC), near Branson, Missouri, are dressed up, settled in, decked out, revved up and altogether ready for An Old Time Christmas 2008, the 21st SDC Christmas festival. A thousand decorated trees and more than four million lights bring the Ozark theme park to sparkling life day and night. What an invitation for families looking for a new Christmas treat.

USA Today, CNN Travel and Good Morning America have all cited SDC's Old Time Christmas as one of the nation's top holiday celebrations. Having been there for the last three Christmases, I'll have to agree with the secular media on this one!


What can you expect? Well, for starters, lots of lights. After dark a five-story Christmas tree in the square is the star of a special effects music and light show every 15 minutes. The tree's thousands of lights dance and shimmer to the beat of the music. And a Holiday Light Parade has eight lighted floats with 100,000 lights.
