We’ve received some inquiries from readers about one of East Cobb’s standout holiday lights displays—put on by the Fox family in the Clary Lakes subdivision.
We checked with Karen Fox about this year’s presentation, which is underway and is available nightly from 6-11 p.m. at their home at 2994 Clary Hill Court (accessible via McPherson Road, just north of Post Oak Tritt Road; see map below).
She said that Santa will visit on select days so check with the Facebook page for details.
Much of what has been featured before is back again—an animated display featuring thousands of lights and synchronized to music that you can hear on 88.3FM. Here’s this year’s playlist:
1. Amazing Grace-Yule2. Christmas Canon-Trans-Siberian Orchestra3. Christmas Eve Sarajevo-Trans-Siberian Orchestra4. Deck the Halls-Mannheim Steamroller5. Let It Snow-Dean Martin6. Light of Christmas-Owl City7. Little Drummer Boy-King and Country8. Mad Russian Christmas – Trans-Siberian Orchestra9. Miracle on 34th Street Overture-Bruce Broughton10. Linus and Lucy-Vince Guaraldi11. Queen of the Winter Night-Trans-Siberian Orchestra12. Sleigh Ride-The Ronettes13. Wizard in Winter-Trans-Siberian Orchestra14. Candy Cane Lane-Sia
This is the 15th year for the display, and new this year is a light tunnel walk-through feature with two interactive stations. They include a Letter to Santa table where children can write a letter to Santa and either give it to Santa or put it in a special Santa mailbox.
There’s also a memorial ornament station in honor of Karen Fox’s father, who died this year to COVID-19 at the age of 95.
“My childhood Christmas memories of my Dad have always included his love of decorating our home,” she said. “I have dedicated a special corner of our display for my Dad, affectionately referred to as Poppy, which includes a memorial tree. Visitors can either bring an ornament or make an ornament to honor someone who has passed and hang it on the memorial tree.”
Some youth groups will be having their own outings at the display, including the school from her church, Holy Transfiguration Greek Orthodox, whose choir will be singing Greek Christmas carols on Dec. 14. That event will be broadcast on television in Greece.
As in previous years, the Fox display is among the candidates in the Cobb EMC holiday lights contest. In order to participate, you can LIKE the photo of your favorite display and submit it by clicking here.
