Angie Roberts and her husband Shawn spent two days stringing up about 10,000 lights on their home off Thompson Bend Road. They put their lights up the weekend before Thanksgiving and the display entices people stop by their home to see the lights.
A little more than 10 years ago, three different Northeast Georgia families purchased or received a single item, leading them to start a Christmas tradition that continues to this day. For Shawn and Angie Roberts, their purchase was their first home on Thompson Bend in Gainesville. Ever since then, the Roberts spend two days adorning it with lights, which now number about 10,000.
