Angels in heaven proclaim his birth; humble shepherds and regal kings pay him homage. Clearly this is no ordinary child! But who is he - really? Is he the Messiah, our Savior? Who can even believe such a thing! Witness the story that is central to the season, brought to life with high drama, awe-inspiring special effects and live animals. Rejoice with your whole family as the true meaning of Christmas unfolds right before your eyes!

A season favorite! Even for a grumpy old miser like Ebenezer Scrooge, it’s never too late to change. But when he’s visited by three ghosts – Christmas Past, Present, and Future – he discovers his selfish ways and greets Christmas morning with a new found happiness, and through the enduring love of Tiny Tim, learns to spread goodwill and be happy. 

We have all seen and heard the story of Ebeneezer Scrooge, and witnessed his great redemption. But there Is a dark secret buried within this Victorian Tale—A Murder Mystery that has hitherto never been explained. How Scrooge got so rich, and how his partner mysteriously died! Was it heart trouble? Was it strangulation? Was it a poisoned bit of beef; blot of mustard or crumb of cheese? Who put the “No! No! No!” in Marley’s “Ho! Ho! Ho!”? Riddlesbrood’s newest holiday whodunit, will let YOU finally uncover…Who killed Jacob Marley!

Byers’ Choice has been handcrafting the Carolers® Figurines for over 35 years.  Start with a walk down a cobblestone street scene straight out of Dickens’ London then into the Christmas Museum, with displays of Carolers past and present, as well as depictions of Christmas traditions from around the world.

Elva grew up in a large conservative Mennonite family in Ephrata, PA where she attended a small “one room” Amish and Mennonite school. Art was viewed as frivolous by many of those around her, but that did not keep Elva from etching scenes in between chores on the family dairy farm. In recent years, yet another form of painting has become her primary focus; chalk talks. Before crowds of people Elva uses chalk to draw a large picture illustrating a story that is presented with pre-recorded music and narration.  Our delight is Oh Christmas tree – discover the origin of the traditional lighted Christmas tree, and listen to the eloquence of past presidents, addressing our nation through the years, on this special day.
