11/23/2008 Dear Ludy family: For several years now I have looked forward to following your website at this time of year. I enjoy and appreciate very much all the work you do to entertain us. It just feels good to watch the videos, they are very cool. Thank you very much.  I know your light shows are enjoyed by many of us. They are truly amazing. God Bless, and thank you again, V. Larrow, Santa Rosa, California
09/28/2008 I have lived in the Cottonwood Plantation subdivision for 13 year and I do not have a problem with the traffic during the holiday season.  I proudly promote having the subdivision with the best light display in Columbus, GA.  I LOVE IT... Much Kudos to you and your family for a job well done.  Keep the Christmas spirit alive.  The Clarke's
09/28/2008 Hi, I'm Malia's sister-in-law and I live in Baltimore, MD.  I saw the pictures of your Christmas Display last year and thought it was wonderful.  I hope your neighbors will all agree with your requests in the latest newsletter to help you make this year even bigger and better and with more control over traffic.  I shared last year's pictures with some of my friends and thought that you would like to know that your marvelous hard work has been viewed as far away as Hawaii, Nova Scotia, Florida and New England.  This year, please let me know how I can again have access to some pictures that I can share with your many fans around the country.  Sincerely, J. Blume
01/02/2007 I just wanted to tell you that I rode by to see your house and was absolutely in awe!! I’ve never seen anything so breathtaking. Just loved it! Thank you for sharing something so delightful with family, friends and perfect strangers. I am already looking forward to next Christmas!!  K. Thomas
12/27/2006 Saw the house the other night.  I don't get out much BUT that was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.  My wife and kids LOVED it.  It was 10:15pm and there was still a line of cars.  Bobby Cochran
12/26/2006 Thank you so much for the added joy to our Holidays! The house looks beautiful & my children love it. Your family has done a wonderful job and we look forward to this being part of our family traditions.  A. Burks
12/22/2006 What a special Christmas tradition. My wife and I marveled tonight at the work that must go into doing this for people that you don't even know. My 11 year old son, Keith, was full of questions. The radio transmitter baffled him. We are seasoned light show visitors but yours was awesome. The songs just kept coming. We didn't want to leave but we had to make room for others.  Thank you very much.  Merry Christmas and may God bless you and yours, The Pridgens
12/20/2006 Hi!  I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful joy you brought to my children.  We heard about your display for the first time this year and we only live a half mile from you. We drove by after church and my children (especially my four year old daughter) were amazed (as were my wife and I) at the display.  I know that it must have taken many hours and a lot of heart to construct it and we appreciate the time and effort your family has put into the display.  My daughter wants to come back and see it again so, we will be stopping by Friday night Dec 22 so she can see the show and Santa.  Once again thank you very much for putting that joy in our family and all that you have done with your display. May God bless your family throughout the holiday season.  The Lavallee Family

Our family stopped by your home last (Monday, December 18) night and had such a wonderful time.  It was just spectacular and my children (ages 3 and 2) thoroughly enjoyed themselves as did my husband and I.  I have always enjoyed Christmas and all the decorations and activities that go along with it and now that I have my boys I am sure to include them in everything that I can find.  Thank you for all that your family does to show such true Christmas spirit and most importantly for remembering and sharing THE REASON FOR THE SEASON as so many people have forgotten.  God Bless Always, Tanya M.

Thank YOU Jerry, for doing all of the work!  You're the Christmas dad we all wished for.  Keith is lucky to have you.  Sheri Lynch of the "Bob and Sheri Show"

Hello Ludy Family.  Greetings from Saint Simons Island Georgia.  And THANK YOU for your Christmas Spirit.  You warmed my heart and made me hopeful.  You made me smile from ear to ear.  You made me teary eyed at the thought of Christmas as a child and the excitement of the lights... all those feelings that sadly as adults we forget so easily.  You brought all that back to me and more.  THANK YOU.  Let me tell you how I grew up celebrating Christmas.  It wasn't about gifts, there were never any gifts for any of us.  We knew that Christmas eve Baby Jesus was born and came to see us in our sleep.  We also knew that we would see all of our family for a celebration with tons of delicious food.  Gifts??  No, no gifts, we never knew of any gifts, thus we did not miss them.
My father was not a wealthy man by any means, but we had everything and more.  He always cut a tree, and we painted it... it was not your normal pine looking tree.  It was more like a branch... and we painted it either gold or silver and we made all the decorations.  None were saved, we made new ones every year.  Now that I'm an adult, I still love Christmas, more so since my child was born 14 yrs ago... one difference is THE GIFTS... I love giving gifts and wrapping them... and I still love Christmas lights, even more... and I love people like you who never forgot that special feeling I so much remember.  I get excited about Santa and I can't wait for Christmas eve.  I don't like shopping, but I manage to buy gifts for everyone.  Internet is wonderful!  THANK YOU  THANK YOU  You made me so very happy and hopeful.  You gave me one of the most special gifts.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  P.S. by the way, we are huge fans of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, so your music was very much familiar to us and we just loved the show.  The Gambles on St.Simons Island

We stopped by today just to see the lights.  Little did we know this was the same house we heard about on the radio a few weeks ago.  Knowing that this is a wonderful act of random kindness and hearing (on the radio) that the expense of your bill is so high this time of year we tried to make a donation today.  I was amazed that it was refused.  Our 5yr old son exclaimed as we pulled up "I think that Santa really lives here"  He was convinced that it was the real Santa tonight rather than just a Santa Helper.  And on top of it all he got a candy cane.  You made a little boys night tonight.  Ah, to be little and believe in such magic and to have the littlest things mean the world.  Thanks for letting us stop.  Merry Christmas.  The Markham Family
