Nathes lights add to

Christmas festivities

The Nativity scene was


among the first items
put up in Virginia
and
John
Nathes
Christmas display. The
scene recalls the first
Christmas.
PHOTOS BY
HERMAN LENSING

By HERMAN LENSIN
Staff Writer
MEIRE GROVE Placed around
Virginia and John Nathes home, on
the south side of Meire Grove, are lit
Christmas displays, easily visible from
Highway 4 that passes through town.
I like it simple, Virginia said.
The Nativity set was the first thing we
had. Its just the Holy Family.
The Nativity set is situated near the
house. It was part of their display when
they lived on the farm, just east of
town, and came with them when they
moved to Meire Grove 10 years ago.
We did a little bit on the farm,
Virginia said. But it seems like we
added a little more each year in town.
On the farm, it was just us who saw it.
The display now features a blow-up

Santa Claus, a decorated snow fence,


lights highlighting trees and bushes
and wire statues outlining reindeer and
other objects.
We used to have icicles hanging
from the roof, but they didnt always
work, so we didnt put them up, Virginia said.
That wasnt the only change in the
10 years they have put up the display.
This year we have more LED
lights, John said. They are pretty
bright and dont use as much power.
The Nathes have learned putting up
their Christmas displays in mid-fall is
best.
Its fun to put them up on a warm
day, Virginia said. But if its freezing
and your fingers are cold, it takes the
fun out of it.

A star and the Holy Family


comprise the Nativity scene at
the John and Virginia Nathe
display.

Merry Christmas

& a Prosperous New Year!

(Lights continued from page 6)
Even with this falls warm weather,
it was November by the time the Nathes made time to put up their decorations.
It seems like when its nice out
you have 101 other things to do, John
said.
Its not just lights that get hung
outside. Large Christmas ornaments,
wreaths, garland and other decorations
are visible.
I like something that looks good
during the day, too, Virginia said.
Wreaths and greenery look nice. If
you have just a lot of lights, it only
looks nice at night.
Their display is turned on during
Thanksgiving night. Virginia admits
she likes a little snow on the ground.
She got her wish this Nov. 30. The
lights will remain on nightly until Jan.
6, the Feast of the Epiphany.
Timers control when some lights
come on and off. Other lights turn on
as the sunlight weans.
If its cloudy, they turn on sooner,
John said.

The Nathes display had a fan who


waited for the lights to come on. A little
girl living near the display waited each
night for the lights to shine. Her favorite part was when the blow-up Santa
Claus rose from the ground. One year,
the Nathes switched to a dusk-to-dawn
timer with the Santa Claus, instead of a
specific timer, which the girl noticed.
She watched every night at 5 p.m.,
but when we put it on a dusk timer she
said, Santas not getting up, John
said.
The Nathes like to view other displays for possible ideas. Virginia liked
the idea of some A-frame trees she recently saw. John has considered a Santa
Claus climbing up the side of the house
or on the roof.
Just how long the Nathes will
continue putting up the display is not
known. The display is something they
enjoy constructing for others to see.
If you dont enjoy it, you wouldnt
do it, Virginia said. I like the color it
brings.

A blow-up Santa and


decorated tree highlight one
area of the yard. The Santa
comes up each evening as
air is blown into it.

Making use of trees and purchased items, John


and Virginia Nathe have created an attractive
lighting display for the Christmas season.

December 18th-24th
4

Reindeer, Santa Claus


and decorated bushes
are featured in the
display.

Dear Santa,
Hello, its me again Easton Hollenkamp. I love
the toys you brought me last year, and dont
worry they are not just sitting in a closet collecting dust - I still play with them all the time.
I have tried to be really careful with all of them
and make sure they are put away in the right
spot when I am not playing with them. How
are all the elves and reindeer doing? We made
reindeer food in school again so tell them to
look for it by the snow pile in the front yard
(if the snow is still here when you come). If Elf
Pickles has told you hat I have deserved some
gifts this year I would like the huge semi that
I saw in one of the catalogs that we got, a saw
like the guys from Arnzens that worked on
our house had, a toy John Deere tractor with
a snow blower on it, some new jammies that
have feet in them, and maybe a new gator or
something like that so that I can give my sister
Judy a ride. I have my list circled in the catalogs that came in the mail but mom said you
probably wont bring me all of them - she said
it is way too many. I cant help that I like toys. I
have been trying to be very good this year but
mom says sometimes I need to change my attitude! Could you bring everyone else in my
house a little something too? I love my sister
Judy and try hard to play with her but sometimes she makes me so mad, she just doesnt
know how to play farm with me yet! Mom
and I went shopping so that we can make you
some yummy cookies and milk, maybe some
carrots for the reindeer outside too.
Love and hugs,,
Easton Hollenkamp, age 5
Grey Eagle
Dear Santa,
Hello, remember me? The one who screamed
when I had to sit on your lap last year? Yep,
thats me - Judy Hollenkamp!! I am excited to
see you again and will not try to cry. I think I
am getting a hang on this Christmas thing.
Sorry I called Elf Pickles Santa when you first
sent him back to our house. I hope it wasnt
because mom or dad called you and asked
you to send him back because I was being
naughty. Mom and dad say that I must be in
my terrible 3s already! I am not sure what that
means but it doesnt sound good. I try to keep
up with my brother and do everything he
does and sometimes I get in trouble a lot during the day. I just need to se everything that
goes on! Easton, my brother, helped me pick
out a lot of toys in the catalogs that came to
our house, but mom says I dont need another
Minnnie Mouse (I only have 5 different ones
that I have to bring to bed all the time). If you
think I havent been too bad could you bring
me some more stuff for my doll and maybe a
desk to sit at and write or color on so I dont
have to drag a chair to the counter and color
or write all over moms papers? A cool chair to
sit on and watch Minnie Mouse since I get excited when I see her or Mickey Mouse would
be great too. Mom and Easton always bake together, and now I need to be in the middle of
it helping too so I bet we can make you some
really yummy cookies and leave the reindeer
carrots too.
Love and hugs,
Judy Hollenkamp, Age 2-1/2

Dear Santa,
My name is Alexa Toenyan. Christmas means
celebrating Jesus birth, getting together with
family, and having fun because our savior was
born. Christmas means tradition. A tradition
in my family is that we all have ornaments that
we got for gifts in the years past. Mom calls our
name and we get our onaments one at a time.
We then take them out and we put them on
the tree. My family also goes to Mass together
in the morning. Christmas is a time for loving
and giving. On Christmas we get presents, but
Christmas is not all about presents if is about
Jesus birth.
Alexa, 4th grade

My name is Lauren Dehmer. Christmas to me
means that it is the day that Christ was brought
into the world by the Lord. It was a mirable.
I get to spend time with my family, and give
presents to the ones I love. One of my favorite
parts of Christmas is going to mass with my
family. I love seeing everyone at Christmastime,
and decorating our house with our tree and
other decorations with my family members. love
caroling, the long vacation we get, of course the
presents, and the delicious food I eat with my
family. I especially love Christ and am thankful
that he came into the world to give us more than
presents from Santa, he gave us the Holy Spirit,
heaven, and love!

My name is Luke Meyer. Christmas is a time to
