Seward Manor

One never knows where they may find a bit of Holiday Cheer. While expecting it when Sadie is around and occasionally when I get into the "catacombs" of our basement, but surprised to come across this display while delivering Home Delivered Meals today. The Lady who lives at the end of the 2nd story hall of the Manor came out to demonstrate it. After plugging it in, the lights came on and the snowman began to sing and dance. He has a repertoire of some 20 songs and is activated by walking past him. She told of one of the fellows who delivered meals being shocked as he opened the nearby stair door and was greeted by the snowman. She said it had been given to her after being in its original box for over 10 years unopened. She was very proud to demonstrate the display and is always very appreciative of the meals we deliver. It is heartening to see people who qualify for Home Delivered Meals and living in the Manor enjoying such interesting displays. But it gives me even more Holiday Cheer to know that we as a community and state can help them enjoy a very acceptable standard of living. It's part of what helps to make our community special and an example of the Love that Jesus brought into the world.
