A very special thanks goes out to all who donated food, toys, supplies, and money for animal shelters in the area. All items were delivered to Nevin's Farm and The Stoneham Cat Society. Several animals will be having an extra merry Christmas thanks to your generosity.

Operation Santa Paws is done for the season, but it will be back next Christmas. If you missed your chance to donate for this season, but still wish to, please donate directly to the shelter of your choice.

Thank you all again! Also, the 2008 Christmas display will still be running through January 1st, so come see it when you can.

Today is the last day for Operation Santa Paws donations. If you have been planning to bring a donations to help out animal shelters, get them here tonight. Tomorrow I'll be delivering everything to the shelters. Thanks to everyone who has donated, your contributions are greatly appreciated. I received more than I had expected. I will definetly be doing this program again next year, so if you couldn't make it this year, you'll have another chance.

Of course, with the winter storm coming, you might have a few extra days to get your donations in. If I don't feel it safe to travel, I'll hold off for a few days, and I'll leave the donation bin out. I'll deliver everything on Tuesday instead.

Thanks again everyone for the great contributions, and have a very merry Christmas!

This morning, not only was the Holiday Landscapes Christmas display in the paper, but it was on the front page of the Stoneham Sun! Hopefully this will help get some donations for "Operation Santa Paws." If you would like to read the full article, Click Here

It's too bad, the day the article appeared in the paper, the display got rained out. And the conditions probably won't be favorable to running the display right through Friday. I'll do my best to keep things running, but the rain always knocks out the Ground Faults. You can always check if the display is operational in the left hand column under "display status."

Other than that, keep those donations coming! There are too many animals in shelters, lets give them the best Christmas we can. It would be even better if you could open up your heart and your home to one of these animals, giving it the best Christmas present possible.

More details will be coming soon, but I wanted to let everyone know that the 2008 Christmas display is up and running. You can see it every night (except when it is raining) from 5:00 - 10:00 PM. We are located at 83 Franklin Street at the corner of Pearl in Stoneham, MA.

This year, starting December 1st, we will be collecting for Operation Santa Paws. Please bring a toy or treats for shelter cats and dogs so they too can have a merry Christmas.
