Hundreds of area residents will enjoy Christmas today, thanks to a local family whose efforts to spread holiday cheer also help those in need. Thousands of cars have passed through TMT Farms off Old River Road North this month as people visit to view the elaborate lights display created by Roy and Deborah Thompson and their family. The display is free, but donations of food, toys and money left by visitors mean several families in need won’t go hungry or without toys for their kids today.
