Christmas on Milky Way

2025, What happened!!

Well, the plan this year was for a scaled back display (mostly no super big tree and all the stars) and as life would have it, I injured my foot on Thanksgiving morning (and its still healing) resulting in basically no display for this year.

I did manage to get a few of the basic frames up today, but, thats about where it'll sit for the rest of the season.

Over the past year a few challenges have come up, as I come into year two past treatment, my energy levels have suffered significantly (and yet, I try to do 5k runs, but even those are scaling back.) Another challenge, is the storage facility I kept a vehicle and camper at closed, and I haven't really found a new place yet, so those are also stored at home (where the big tree normally goes!) Lastly, and probably the worst part, several components of the display need significant repair, I found some of the elements in a tub full of water today, so they will need replacement, and with future upgrades, I need to spend 3-5k to get everything back in order.

I want to wish everyone a Happy Holidays, and look forward to coming back for 2026!

Halloween and Christmas are fast approaching and we are getting ready to have the lights up again! Sadly, there will be no major additions this year, but, hopefully next year this will be possible!

As most know, last year I was diagnosed with cancer, and was undergoing chemo at the time I put up the display. This year brought on 6 weeks of intensive radiation therapy but, in great news, at this point the cancer is undetectable.

The healing and the demons caused by treatments still continue to heal, but, it will be several years before I am at full strength again.

In some great news - I was able to complete a 5k run this year at one of my favorite places, Disneyland! (I was also setup for the 10k and 1/2 marathon, but, the radiation treatments made that impossible)

I am looking forward to seeing everyone again this year!

Christmas 2023 Update - rain is on the way for 12/22 and while I do expect the show to continue running as scheduled, sometimes that can throw a quirk into things!

For 12/23 through 12/25 we’ll try to be outside with hot chocolate and to say hello!
