Welcome to a Providence Christmas!
This is our sixth year of running a computer controlled light show and we’ve continued to add unique elements once again for 2011. We’re proud of the traditions that are created here and hope you’ll join us in celebration of Christ’s birth!
The show is synchronized to a variety of unique holiday tunes and can be heard by tuning your car stereo to 107.3 FM.
Happy Holidays!
2008 Vaderville Christmas Light Show on CBS
This is the spot that CBS 11 (hi Stewart!) ran on November 28th – opening night for our 2008 season. It rained the morning of so most of the lights didn’t even work, but it still came out nice.

Well, it’s almost time! Today marks the beginning of the 24 hours of the year that my family and I look forward to more than any other. There are so many reasons to celebrate. From the birth of Christ at the center of it all – to remembering and sharing the gratitude we have for the glory given to us through God in our own lives – to the thankfulness for health, well being and the ability to spend quality time with our family’s – this is my favorite 24 hours of the year.
From the Shucks, the Vaders and the McKims, we hope your holiday dreams have come true. We hope that you are blessed, healthy, happy and enjoying not only this season, but all of the days of the year. We wish you and yours the merriest of merry Christmas’ and the most propsperous of all new years!
Read MoreThank You for Your Support!
As many of you may already know, I have been hospitalized since last week with a mysterious illness that has been dragging on for several weeks. I returned home last night after 5 days of playing the role of lab rat to a handful of specialists including an infectious disease doctor, oncologist, surgeon, pathologist, general practitioner, hemotologist and the usual array of anethseziologists (sp?), radiologists, etc.
I spent saturday night in ICU. Started mondya morning being told I would be starting Chemo next week and ended Tuesday with the Oncologist telling me there, in fact, is no cancer in my blood – and the infectious disease specialist telling me I didn’t have Lymphoma, rather a very unique and rare form of… Mono.
So, we’re still waiting for the FINAL results. I spent Saturday night and Sunday in ICU. It’s been an emotional roller coaster. And We really still don’t have a 100% answer, but it looks more like a weird form of Mono at this point. I still feel miserable and have a handful of drugs to take. My spleen is twice it’s normal size and all of the incisions from the biopsy and other testing have made me very sore – so it’s difficult to get around.
I have my first follow up and should have final results from the biopsy sometime next week.
In the end, I am blessed to be able to spend the holiday with my family. I am blessed to have the family, friends and neighbors that I have. I want to offer my sincerest gratitude to all of our great neighbors here in Providence Village. I always knew we had it good here, but it’s times like these that the absolute beauty of true community shines through in all it’s glory. THANK YOU TO YOU ALL! You will never know how much your support has meant to us over the past couple of weeks and as we continue to sort through my health issues.

Well, unfortunately the weather plays a large role in our ability to run the show. All this fog and generally soggy air has seeped into everything out there. This is the first time in three years that all of my GFCI’s are tripping. We can’t even run part of the show tonight.
I sure it hope it all dries out before tomorrow night since Santa is supposed to come visit us tomorrow. But please be aware that if the show doesn’t run, Santa won’t be making an appearance either.
Stay Tuned!
