Welcome to the Downs Family Christmas Light Ministry, Now on Facebook!
We're done for the season! A big thanks goes out to the people of Oklahoma for making this by far our most successful year yet! Even though we had to shut down for 10 days over Christmas, donations far exceeded those of the previous year. Check out the Donations page for the final totals!
Follow us on our Facebook fan page. We'll be updating it throughout the year, with pictures and comments.
Our show for 2009 had five songs, with a few others used in the introduction sequence. The main songs were as follows:
| Song | Artist |
|---|---|
| Joy To The World | Go Fish |
| Taking Care of Christmas | Randy Bachman |
| Jingle Bells | Denver and the Mile High Orchestra |
| O Holy Night | David Phelps |
| 12 Days of Christmas | Relient K |
Additionally, the beginning narration background is Michael W. Smith's Christmas Angels, followed by the Emmanuel Medley by Foothills Baptist Church in Phoenix, AZ. We blended that song with another David Phelps song, Away in a Manger. Both David Phelps songs are from his Christmas CD titled One Wintry Night.
Traffic during the week of Christmas 2008 was crazy! Here's a video (sped up 3X, and it repeats for some reason) of people leaving the show. We had planned to do a new video for 2009, but the blizzard kind of knocked out the week of Christmas.
