The OB次元官网网址橤rady family of Langley City has their big Christmas display up again this year, but with a slightly spooky twist.

B次元官网网址淭his year we knew weB次元官网网址檇 go even bigger than weB次元官网网址檝e gone in previous years. So, to get ahead we decided to have a Nightmare Before Christmas theme for our Halloween display,B次元官网网址� explained Randy OB次元官网网址橤rady.

He said this allowed them to put up most of their Christmas decorations, such as SantaB次元官网网址檚 sleigh and Christmas trees.

B次元官网网址淭echnically we started decorating for Christmas around Oct. 10,B次元官网网址� OB次元官网网址橤rady joked. B次元官网网址淭his Halloween trickery allowed us to be ready for December about two weeks early.B次元官网网址�

The Santa Sleigh is new this year, he said, built by OB次元官网网址橤rady and some of his employees.

B次元官网网址淲e went ahead and cut out all the pieces, our production guys put it together, we put it in the spray booth to give it a whole bunch of coats of industrial paints, and it will be our display for years to come.B次元官网网址�

The sleigh is on their front lawn under the light-string canopy tree, and the public are welcome to have their photos taken in it.

There are also 47 trees this year all with lights, a gingerbread house, inflatables including a hockey playing penguin, and other delights among the branches.

Keeping with family tradition, SantaB次元官网网址檚 mailbox is out and accepting letters until Dec. 22.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e well over 100 letters already,B次元官网网址� OB次元官网网址橤rady said.

It started a few years ago when OB次元官网网址橤rady saw some kids putting letters in an old ornamental mailbox in his front yard during the holidays.

When they found letters addressed to Santa, OB次元官网网址橤radyB次元官网网址檚 then young kids encouraged him to send replies.

B次元官网网址淲e answered a few letters that year and a few parents posted it on the [social media] community page the following year, and it just went viral and all of a sudden weB次元官网网址檙e you know getting dozens of letters a day dropped in the box, and it was fun,B次元官网网址� he said.

The family answered the letters, if the kids provided a return address, but they did more. They delivered personalized replies and small gifts.

When asked what the letters say, OB次元官网网址橤rady was hesitant to share due to the risk of scammers impacting the Christmas joy of SantaB次元官网网址檚 letters.

But he did share one story where a father asked for a bottle of whisky and the new Corvette.

B次元官网网址淪anta thanked him in the reply letter and supplied him with a diecast model of the new Corvette,B次元官网网址� OB次元官网网址橤rady laughed. B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檒l be cute when people get cute with us.B次元官网网址�

Nicknamed OB次元官网网址橤radyB次元官网网址檚 Tree Farm, the display is at 20886 45A Ave. It will be up until Jan. 2, and can be visited during day or evenings.
