Around Reading: Koziar's Christmas Village

Up near Bernville, PA, which is about 15 miles northwest of Reading, is Koziar's Christmas Village. The website says it has over a half million Christmas lights. Last year we didn't know that it existed but Billie found out about it and we went there on December 4. Since you couldn't be there with us, here are some pictures. As you will see, there is something for just about everyone.

This was the view from the road. We went close to the time that it opened for the night and traffic was backed up for about a half mile. When we left the traffic waiting to get in was backed up for about four miles.

I'm not sure if this indicates belief in a young Earth or just the fact that dinosaurs liked getting presents, too.

After the dinosaurs died off, Noah gave his wife two of every animal for Christmas (and you thought there were a lot of animals in the twelve days of Christmas!).

These pandas apparently couldn't wait to start repopulating the Earth.

A while after the waters subsided, some of the animals attended the birth of this baby (I think it happened in Texas, since Texans think they are God's gift to the world).

Shortly after his birth, the baby realized that living in Texas is terribly hot and, in a fit of overreaction, decided to move to the North Pole.

I think that the baby grew up to be Santa Claus.

Santa's house is the cause of the Northern Lights.

Once a year, Santa visit's Lissa's Christmas village.

Santa also visits farms in Berks County.

Maybe the farm provides trees for Bill's side-job as a tree salesman.

If Bill is out of mistletoe, I know where you can get some.

Here is a picture of Mom in her younger days...

Maybe she was teaching about Christmas around the world.

Here is a pedal car for dad (it even says "Volunteer"!).

This is to prove we were actually there.

This one seems pretty self explanatory.
