West Haven family: Open up, accept gift of live Nativity

WEST HAVEN -- At the time of year when headlines abound about fighting over merchandise in stores, a local family quietly shares its message of hope.

Brad and Tammy Hunt, their extended family and friends put on nine performances of a 20-minute live Nativity and Christmas pageant for the three days before Christmas as a gift to the community.

Visit Layton man's home, share family's Christmas village

LAYTON -- Walk inside Todd and Beverly Larson's home, and you just might think you've arrived in a winter wonderland.

The front room is filled with tiny lights, buildings, businesses, cabins, lakes, a ski lift, waterfall, train and even the North Pole.

'Raunchy' Christmas deer light display brings complaints

HARRISVILLE -- It's a redneck Christmas on Larsen Lane where Isaac Oberg has created a unique outdoor display.

Oberg, a self-proclaimed redneck, has three lighted Christmas deer in his yard. One deer is hanging from a tree with red lights representing flowing entrails, and two are stacked on top of each other simulating copulation with red lights representing male genitalia.
