Welcome to Christmas at the Batesons -- the annual Christmas lighting display of Tim & Lori Bateson.We are located at: 7873 Royal Fern Ct., Liberty Township, Ohio - northern suburb of Cincinnati.
Our
2012 display features over 20,000 lights (75% LED) that "dance to music" through 144
computer-controlled lighting circuits programmed to animate the display to the
music, and broadcast over FM 95.9. You can enjoy the lights dancing and
spinning to the music while you stay in the warmth of your car. On undisclosed
dates, Mr. & Mrs. Clause will be visiting, handing out candy canes and
Christmas cheer. Bring the family, & enjoy the season with our mastery of
the lights.
At
the end of each segment we honor our soldiers - past & present with the
song: Soldiers Silent
Night
Again
this year, we would like you to remember those less fortunate in our community.
We are collecting
Toys and Non-Perishable food for
local distribution to those in need. We are also a member of the Lights of Hope
Tour.

A Christmas Enthusiast Prayer
As I untangle strings of Christmas lights,
Lord help me to remember that I do this first
to honor You.
Never let me get so
prideful of my display
that
I fail
to see the wonders in the eyes of a child or
the joy
on the faces of those who are still children at
heart.
Never let me forget that my total effort is to
make Christmas memories,
bring cheer and to slow down the pace of a
hectic season if only for a moment.
And Lord, someday when I meet you face to
face, may I hear you say:
"When you made My people smile, you made
Me smile."
