A Note From The Paul
Family:
What is our purpose
for Christmas in Cotton Plant?
The answer is that it′s all about the
excitement of celebrating the birth of Jesus
through the time of Christmas with family traditions and memories made. We want
our boys to know that it is definitely better to give than to receive and we
trust that God will take care of our financial necessities of doing the display
through people like you who give donations from the heart. May our display draw
everyone closer to the real meaning of Christmas . . . JESUS.
Remember, ″The Field of Dreams″, ″If you build it they will come″.
Please enjoy
your time with us.
