Video: Stafford’s Shumate Family Set Music to Christmas Lights

STAFFORD, Va. — If you take a short trip down Spring Lake Drive in Stafford, you’re in for a long holiday lights show.

The house at 79 Spring Lake Drive is once again lit up for the holidays. And if you tune your car radio to 95.1 FM you’ll be able to listen to the Christmas music that accompanies these dancing lights.

Homeowner Randy Shumate begins setting up the light show in October. He says it’s a labor of love that he does for the neighborhood each year.

New for 2012 is a large sign with “Merry Christmas” lit up on the roof of the house.  Shumate said what started out as a small project has grown into a family holiday tradition.

Neighbors were invited to his house to see the light show Saturday night where they were greeted with hot drinks, snacks, and camaraderie. The evening light show will run through Jan. 1.
