The home of Craig and Jeannine Eddleton at 1425 Cambria St. NE in Christiansburg is all decked out for Christmas. The decorations are the handiwork of husband Craig, who has carefully tended the display and watched it grow for 31 years. He goes out and lights it up early each morning as a tribute to the hard-working folks who pass by on the way to work. He then makes sure it’s lit from 5 to 11 p.m. each evening.
The display didn’t come suddenly or easily. Craig takes a week’s vacation early every November to get everything set up and ready to go for the holidays. His reason for taking all that time and trouble is simple: to put some smiles on the faces of and joy in the hearts of everyone who happens by.
