John and Pat Hendel, on Ellis Avenue in Maplewood, have again lit their house for Christmas, something they’ve done for about the past two dozen years. Monday night they couldn’t say exactly how many it’s been.
John said it takes him about two weeks to put it all up. When it’s not December the decorations are in their garage, attic and various other storage spots in the house.
The house is easily seen, to the southwest, from the intersection of Manchester and Big Bend.
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
We love seeing this house every year – thank you!
We love it! (I know this must be a tremendous amount of work, so thank you!)
Thank you for the JOY!
We know it’s the Christmas Season, when your lights go on!
John and Pat have always raised the bar for the rest of our block to try to catch up with; hard to do. Merry Christmas Hendels! You guys are the best.
Great job , it’s one of the things that makes Christmas , along with a car full of kids driving around town just to see all the lights .
Your home was always a bright spot in the neighborhood, my daughters grew up loving your -home. Thank you.
Enjoyed seeing the house lit up when we lived in Maplewood, his brother Mike is a nice man as well
See that house lit up is always a highlight of any trip down Big Bend.
Make that “Seeing that house …”
