SnowmenAl Thompson is a cheerleader for Christmas. His house, part of Richmond's renowned "Tacky Light Tour," attracts thousands of wide-eyed pilgrims each year. His display consists of more than 170,000 lights and more than 150 homemade, hand-painted figures. "His is a Christmas vision to behold" Littlefield says. "From the apex of his roof to the tiptoe edge of the curb, he's got Christmas covered."

We invite everyone to stop by for a visit. We recommend you get out of the car and spend a little time. There is a Photo Station, Santa Mail Box, Comment Book, Mistletoe Kissing Station, Christmas Trees with riddles to figure out, thousands of lights, hundreds of decorations, free candycanes and even treats for the Doggies. Hope to see you this Christmas.
