As we begin putting our site to rest for a long winter's nap (or at least until the kids wake us up at 5 am tomorrow) I started looking at all the outrageous Christmas light show videos on YouTube, knowing how much my kids would love to see them. And then I came across
Konner's Christmas Lights, which embodies the spirit of the holidays more than any other I've seen.
Konner is a 15 year-old boy with Muscular Dystrophy, and it was his wish to have some Christmas lights on his house--simple request. And yet his neighbors got his parents out of the house for a few hours and went to work on something even bigger. The
Konner's Christmas 2013 Video document the process and if it doesn't make you teary, then I don't know what will.
It's a little long, and it's not professionally produced, but in part, that's the charm. When you hit the big reveal around 4:10 don't tell me you aren't holding back the tears.
Residents of Chubbuck, Idaho: You all win Christmas this year. And Konner, we hope you have a very merry one yourself.
If you liked this video, consider making a year-end donation to the Muscular Dystrophy Association on behalf of Konner.
