About this display

Several acres of home made wire frames, vintage ornaments, blow molds, all dancing to the sounds of the season surrounding a lake; complete with a Santa house, his sleigh, cookies, candy canes, and of course the man himself, all while collecting Toys 4 Tots! We also have a box for letters to Santa, if you leave a return address, he will reply by sending card with a personal note. We also hand out pre-addressed stamped Christmas cards that are addressed to either the local Autism group home for adults, the children's hospital in Wilmington, or the VA hospital in Fayetteville. We want to bring the Christmas spirit to those who can't come to see the lights too, and our visitors make that possible!

Turn in at Bojangles in Hampstead and drive straight back- it's a one way drive thru. There are also 2 parking areas (One next to the lake right after you come through the gates, and the other is right next to Santa's house). There are also several walk areas. Toys 4 Tots accepted next to Santa's House. 89.5 FM

This display of effort was phenomenal!! Never in my 50 years have I ever seen such a brilliant display of Christmas lights and variety of visually stunning sights around every corner.

It grows every year and comes from the heart. The Registers make sure that there is joy and giving complete with a Santa & Toys for Tots charity donation box. I can't think of anyone more deserving of an award for their giving to the community.

Whitney B. ★★★★★ Dec 7, 2017 · Saw it in person

They keep the reason for the season behind what they do. It's free for everyone and it helps bring the community together. My family and I love it. We go more times than we can count each year! Keep up the awesome job y'all!

Suzie M. ★★★★★ Dec 6, 2017 · Saw it in person

The family that put's this together don't do it for their own enjoyment they do it for the community. I've never seen so many smiles and seen the love for Christmas like I have since they've been doing the lights/activities. A very Christ like family just doing a little of God's work.
