Jennings Osborne and his wife Mitzi loved Christmas, but there was one thing they loved more:
their young daughter Breezy. One Christmas she had a special wish; she wanted their house to
be covered with lights. Well, it was a pretty big house in Little Rock, Arkansas, but, luckily,
Jennings Osborne had an even bigger heart--and imagination. He put up one million Christmas
lights, everything from a spinning globe, to multicolored canopies, to a field of glorious angels.
Mr. Osborne loved how the lights made people feel like children--opening their presents on Christmas morning. As the display grew, he bought the houses on either side of his own, just to put lights on them too. As new ideas were added, even more room was needed for this gift of lights. Today, the display has grown to over 5 million lights and has found a new home at the Disney-MGM Studios at the WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort. The Osborne family has a wish. In the true spirit of the holidays, they challenge each and every one of us to commit a random act of kindness in someone's life today. Join us each evening on New York Street where you can pick up your special glasses to view this glorious display and share the wonder and magic of this special experience: "The Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights!"
