Ginny amp Dr Hilary Hunt

For Ginny and Dr Hilary Hunt the holidays are a season for entertaining family and friends It begins at Thanksgiving when 34 guests are seated for a typical

seasonal dinner From then until Christmas the house is a warm and festive setting for at least three luncheons a brunch and an extended family of 24 for dinner on Christmas Eve

In the meantime the couple opens their home to visiting hunters in town for the hunting season

ldquoLast year we had three hunters for three nightsrdquo Ginny said Such a hectic season would be daunting to you and me but

for the Hunts itrsquos just another reason to open their home to family and friends And Ginny rises to the occasion by decorat-ing each room appropriately To do so requires organization and if she is anything Ginny Hunt is well organized

So much so that she does most of the work herself She has two efficient helpers Sonia Travis and Cathy Coffelt for this herculean effort and she is so organized that by the time they arrive the procedure is speedy and effortless This has been achieved by storing the decorations in specially labeled boxes

stored in the attic and placed in specific rooms below Thus dining room orna-ments are in a box appro-priately marked and placed in the dining room kitchen decorations in a box in the kitchen and so on

ldquoThey come at eight and by two orsquoclock everything is basically donerdquo Ginny said

The Hunts reside in a 16- room house but decorate only 12 Still the work is challenging

The solution is two-fold

organization and renewal The decorations are or-ganized in a box but are displayed in different ways each year The result is that when visitors tour the house they are convinced that the decorations are new Actually they are displayed differently each year giving the feeling of newness

ldquoYou learn to deal with what yoursquove gotrdquo Ginny said ldquoYou learn to improviserdquo

She has learned by her

professional experience when she was a hospital nurse

ldquoWe try to be cost-effective in a hospitalrdquo she explained ldquoThatrsquos the way we do things hererdquo

For example she contin-ued ldquoYou can just change a ribbon and make it look newrdquo

Seldom do you see any-thing new at Christmas It just looks new thanks to Ginnyrsquos expertise at ldquofresh-ening uprdquo old decorations

lsquoIrsquove collected over the yearsrdquo she said ldquoSome things have been given by family and friends so they have meaningrsquordquo And that she said is preferable to ldquojust going out and buying somethingrdquo

Each holiday season the Huntrsquos decorations look new and refreshed Achieving such a look comes easy to Ginny

ldquoTherersquos really not any-thing expensiverdquo she said ldquoI like to be creativerdquo n

Since 1905 generations of travelers driving Highway 60 through

Kevil have admired the house with three gables for its architec-tural stateliness but the house took on new charm when Mark and Shelley Medlin became lords of the manor

ldquoMark bought the house in 1999 and was doing a remark-able job at decorating when we married in 2007 I felt I needed extra advice so I called on interior designer Bill Ford He was great help He offered help like lsquoget

rid of this Move that trunk over therersquordquo Shelley explained

Especially at Christmas the house dressed inside and out from roof to yard stands as if pos-ing for a Currier and Ives greeting card

Reaching picture-perfect heights is a big project for the Medlins ldquoWe start decorating the weekend before Halloweenrdquo they explain ldquoMark does the outside and I do the inside with the help of Jennifer Gish former floral de-signer at Trees lsquon Trendsrdquo Shelley said ldquoWe use the same decora-

tions from year to year but change them aroundrdquo she added With traditional themes the Medlins use nostalgic decorations from their childhood

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

Whatever the season passersby can expect to see the house decorated with an array of mums in fall to bright blue banners showing their Wildcat pride

Markrsquos law firm is in La Center Shelley is a financial service specialist at Regions Bank n

When Mark moved into the house in 1999 he declared that the dining room would be devoted

entirely to a nativity theme All ornaments are gift wrapped The dining room table belonged to Markrsquos grandmother The Furniture Medic

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

Mayfieldrsquos ldquoLiving Christmas Treerdquo Prepares for 25th Annual Performance

Nov Dec | Posh bull 19

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

One of the Living Christmas Tree performances in 1996 included singers still performing this year (Left)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

ldquoThe Garden Club didnrsquot have a Christmas gather-ingrdquo he said ldquoand it doesnrsquot meet in December so I asked if I could have an informal party so everyone could get together They said yes and

Irsquove been doing it ever sincerdquo In keeping with the

informal atmosphere of his holiday party Holland serves the donated goodies in his kitchen He never knows what will be brought in so he makes chicken salad ham salad pimiento cheese and pumpkin bread In the spirit of Christmas giving he makes sure each guest leaves with a loaf of the bread n

Ginny amp Dr Hilary Hunt

For Ginny and Dr Hilary Hunt the holidays are a season for entertaining family and friends It begins at Thanksgiving when 34 guests are seated for a typical

seasonal dinner From then until Christmas the house is a warm and festive setting for at least three luncheons a brunch and an extended family of 24 for dinner on Christmas Eve

In the meantime the couple opens their home to visiting hunters in town for the hunting season

ldquoLast year we had three hunters for three nightsrdquo Ginny said Such a hectic season would be daunting to you and me but

for the Hunts itrsquos just another reason to open their home to family and friends And Ginny rises to the occasion by decorat-ing each room appropriately To do so requires organization and if she is anything Ginny Hunt is well organized

So much so that she does most of the work herself She has two efficient helpers Sonia Travis and Cathy Coffelt for this herculean effort and she is so organized that by the time they arrive the procedure is speedy and effortless This has been achieved by storing the decorations in specially labeled boxes

stored in the attic and placed in specific rooms below Thus dining room orna-ments are in a box appro-priately marked and placed in the dining room kitchen decorations in a box in the kitchen and so on

ldquoThey come at eight and by two orsquoclock everything is basically donerdquo Ginny said

The Hunts reside in a 16- room house but decorate only 12 Still the work is challenging

The solution is two-fold

organization and renewal The decorations are or-ganized in a box but are displayed in different ways each year The result is that when visitors tour the house they are convinced that the decorations are new Actually they are displayed differently each year giving the feeling of newness

ldquoYou learn to deal with what yoursquove gotrdquo Ginny said ldquoYou learn to improviserdquo

She has learned by her

professional experience when she was a hospital nurse

ldquoWe try to be cost-effective in a hospitalrdquo she explained ldquoThatrsquos the way we do things hererdquo

For example she contin-ued ldquoYou can just change a ribbon and make it look newrdquo

Seldom do you see any-thing new at Christmas It just looks new thanks to Ginnyrsquos expertise at ldquofresh-ening uprdquo old decorations

lsquoIrsquove collected over the yearsrdquo she said ldquoSome things have been given by family and friends so they have meaningrsquordquo And that she said is preferable to ldquojust going out and buying somethingrdquo

Each holiday season the Huntrsquos decorations look new and refreshed Achieving such a look comes easy to Ginny

Since 1905 generations of travelers driving Highway 60 through

Kevil have admired the house with three gables for its architec-tural stateliness but the house took on new charm when Mark and Shelley Medlin became lords of the manor

tions from year to year but change them aroundrdquo she added With traditional themes the Medlins use nostalgic decorations from their childhood

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

Whatever the season passersby can expect to see the house decorated with an array of mums in fall to bright blue banners showing their Wildcat pride

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

Mayfieldrsquos ldquoLiving Christmas Treerdquo Prepares for 25th Annual Performance

Nov Dec | Posh bull 19

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

There is lots of greenery in his house at Christmas and it is all natural He dislikes artificiality preferring to gather material from his yard The handmade Christmas wreaths and garlands feature evergreen branches magnolia

leaves and nandina berries Everything comes down

December 26 Ornaments are packed away and the tree is dragged to a fence line in the back yard providing shelter for wild life One year Hol-land discovered a birdrsquos nest made from the silver tinsel left on the tree

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

ldquoThe Garden Club didnrsquot have a Christmas gather-ingrdquo he said ldquoand it doesnrsquot meet in December so I asked if I could have an informal party so everyone could get together They said yes and

Irsquove been doing it ever sincerdquo In keeping with the

informal atmosphere of his holiday party Holland serves the donated goodies in his kitchen He never knows what will be brought in so he makes chicken salad ham salad pimiento cheese and pumpkin bread In the spirit of Christmas giving he makes sure each guest leaves with a loaf of the bread n

From the 1906 tradition

rich home of Murray and Sherra Riley to the fes-tive contemporary deacutecor used by Natalie and Justin Edwards one couldnrsquot take the tour without feeling the Christmas spirit The homes of Laurie and Rich-

Ginny amp Dr Hilary Hunt

For Ginny and Dr Hilary Hunt the holidays are a season for entertaining family and friends It begins at Thanksgiving when 34 guests are seated for a typical

seasonal dinner From then until Christmas the house is a warm and festive setting for at least three luncheons a brunch and an extended family of 24 for dinner on Christmas Eve

In the meantime the couple opens their home to visiting hunters in town for the hunting season

ldquoLast year we had three hunters for three nightsrdquo Ginny said Such a hectic season would be daunting to you and me but

for the Hunts itrsquos just another reason to open their home to family and friends And Ginny rises to the occasion by decorat-ing each room appropriately To do so requires organization and if she is anything Ginny Hunt is well organized

So much so that she does most of the work herself She has two efficient helpers Sonia Travis and Cathy Coffelt for this herculean effort and she is so organized that by the time they arrive the procedure is speedy and effortless This has been achieved by storing the decorations in specially labeled boxes

stored in the attic and placed in specific rooms below Thus dining room orna-ments are in a box appro-priately marked and placed in the dining room kitchen decorations in a box in the kitchen and so on

ldquoThey come at eight and by two orsquoclock everything is basically donerdquo Ginny said

The Hunts reside in a 16- room house but decorate only 12 Still the work is challenging

The solution is two-fold

organization and renewal The decorations are or-ganized in a box but are displayed in different ways each year The result is that when visitors tour the house they are convinced that the decorations are new Actually they are displayed differently each year giving the feeling of newness

ldquoYou learn to deal with what yoursquove gotrdquo Ginny said ldquoYou learn to improviserdquo

She has learned by her

professional experience when she was a hospital nurse

ldquoWe try to be cost-effective in a hospitalrdquo she explained ldquoThatrsquos the way we do things hererdquo

For example she contin-ued ldquoYou can just change a ribbon and make it look newrdquo

Seldom do you see any-thing new at Christmas It just looks new thanks to Ginnyrsquos expertise at ldquofresh-ening uprdquo old decorations

lsquoIrsquove collected over the yearsrdquo she said ldquoSome things have been given by family and friends so they have meaningrsquordquo And that she said is preferable to ldquojust going out and buying somethingrdquo

Each holiday season the Huntrsquos decorations look new and refreshed Achieving such a look comes easy to Ginny

Since 1905 generations of travelers driving Highway 60 through

tions from year to year but change them aroundrdquo she added With traditional themes the Medlins use nostalgic decorations from their childhood

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

Whatever the season passersby can expect to see the house decorated with an array of mums in fall to bright blue banners showing their Wildcat pride

Markrsquos law firm is in La Center Shelley is a financial service specialist at Regions Bank n

When Mark moved into the house in 1999 he declared that the dining room would be devoted

entirely to a nativity theme All ornaments are gift wrapped The dining room table belonged to Markrsquos grandmother The Furniture Medic

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

ldquoThe Garden Club didnrsquot have a Christmas gather-ingrdquo he said ldquoand it doesnrsquot meet in December so I asked if I could have an informal party so everyone could get together They said yes and

Irsquove been doing it ever sincerdquo In keeping with the

informal atmosphere of his holiday party Holland serves the donated goodies in his kitchen He never knows what will be brought in so he makes chicken salad ham salad pimiento cheese and pumpkin bread In the spirit of Christmas giving he makes sure each guest leaves with a loaf of the bread n

Ginny amp Dr Hilary Hunt

For Ginny and Dr Hilary Hunt the holidays are a season for entertaining family and friends It begins at Thanksgiving when 34 guests are seated for a typical

seasonal dinner From then until Christmas the house is a warm and festive setting for at least three luncheons a brunch and an extended family of 24 for dinner on Christmas Eve

In the meantime the couple opens their home to visiting hunters in town for the hunting season

ldquoLast year we had three hunters for three nightsrdquo Ginny said Such a hectic season would be daunting to you and me but

for the Hunts itrsquos just another reason to open their home to family and friends And Ginny rises to the occasion by decorat-ing each room appropriately To do so requires organization and if she is anything Ginny Hunt is well organized

So much so that she does most of the work herself She has two efficient helpers Sonia Travis and Cathy Coffelt for this herculean effort and she is so organized that by the time they arrive the procedure is speedy and effortless This has been achieved by storing the decorations in specially labeled boxes

stored in the attic and placed in specific rooms below Thus dining room orna-ments are in a box appro-priately marked and placed in the dining room kitchen decorations in a box in the kitchen and so on

ldquoThey come at eight and by two orsquoclock everything is basically donerdquo Ginny said

The Hunts reside in a 16- room house but decorate only 12 Still the work is challenging

The solution is two-fold

organization and renewal The decorations are or-ganized in a box but are displayed in different ways each year The result is that when visitors tour the house they are convinced that the decorations are new Actually they are displayed differently each year giving the feeling of newness

ldquoYou learn to deal with what yoursquove gotrdquo Ginny said ldquoYou learn to improviserdquo

She has learned by her

professional experience when she was a hospital nurse

ldquoWe try to be cost-effective in a hospitalrdquo she explained ldquoThatrsquos the way we do things hererdquo

For example she contin-ued ldquoYou can just change a ribbon and make it look newrdquo

Seldom do you see any-thing new at Christmas It just looks new thanks to Ginnyrsquos expertise at ldquofresh-ening uprdquo old decorations

lsquoIrsquove collected over the yearsrdquo she said ldquoSome things have been given by family and friends so they have meaningrsquordquo And that she said is preferable to ldquojust going out and buying somethingrdquo

Each holiday season the Huntrsquos decorations look new and refreshed Achieving such a look comes easy to Ginny

Since 1905 generations of travelers driving Highway 60 through

Kevil have admired the house with three gables for its architec-tural stateliness but the house took on new charm when Mark and Shelley Medlin became lords of the manor

ldquoMark bought the house in 1999 and was doing a remark-able job at decorating when we married in 2007 I felt I needed extra advice so I called on interior designer Bill Ford He was great help He offered help like lsquoget

tions from year to year but change them aroundrdquo she added With traditional themes the Medlins use nostalgic decorations from their childhood

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

Whatever the season passersby can expect to see the house decorated with an array of mums in fall to bright blue banners showing their Wildcat pride

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

Mayfieldrsquos ldquoLiving Christmas Treerdquo Prepares for 25th Annual Performance

By Vicki Hunkler

Nov Dec | Posh bull 19

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

ldquoThe Garden Club didnrsquot have a Christmas gather-ingrdquo he said ldquoand it doesnrsquot meet in December so I asked if I could have an informal party so everyone could get together They said yes and

Irsquove been doing it ever sincerdquo In keeping with the

informal atmosphere of his holiday party Holland serves the donated goodies in his kitchen He never knows what will be brought in so he makes chicken salad ham salad pimiento cheese and pumpkin bread In the spirit of Christmas giving he makes sure each guest leaves with a loaf of the bread n

Ginny amp Dr Hilary Hunt

For Ginny and Dr Hilary Hunt the holidays are a season for entertaining family and friends It begins at Thanksgiving when 34 guests are seated for a typical

seasonal dinner From then until Christmas the house is a warm and festive setting for at least three luncheons a brunch and an extended family of 24 for dinner on Christmas Eve

In the meantime the couple opens their home to visiting hunters in town for the hunting season

ldquoLast year we had three hunters for three nightsrdquo Ginny said Such a hectic season would be daunting to you and me but

for the Hunts itrsquos just another reason to open their home to family and friends And Ginny rises to the occasion by decorat-ing each room appropriately To do so requires organization and if she is anything Ginny Hunt is well organized

So much so that she does most of the work herself She has two efficient helpers Sonia Travis and Cathy Coffelt for this herculean effort and she is so organized that by the time they arrive the procedure is speedy and effortless This has been achieved by storing the decorations in specially labeled boxes

stored in the attic and placed in specific rooms below Thus dining room orna-ments are in a box appro-priately marked and placed in the dining room kitchen decorations in a box in the kitchen and so on

ldquoThey come at eight and by two orsquoclock everything is basically donerdquo Ginny said

The Hunts reside in a 16- room house but decorate only 12 Still the work is challenging

The solution is two-fold

organization and renewal The decorations are or-ganized in a box but are displayed in different ways each year The result is that when visitors tour the house they are convinced that the decorations are new Actually they are displayed differently each year giving the feeling of newness

ldquoYou learn to deal with what yoursquove gotrdquo Ginny said ldquoYou learn to improviserdquo

She has learned by her

professional experience when she was a hospital nurse

ldquoWe try to be cost-effective in a hospitalrdquo she explained ldquoThatrsquos the way we do things hererdquo

For example she contin-ued ldquoYou can just change a ribbon and make it look newrdquo

Seldom do you see any-thing new at Christmas It just looks new thanks to Ginnyrsquos expertise at ldquofresh-ening uprdquo old decorations

lsquoIrsquove collected over the yearsrdquo she said ldquoSome things have been given by family and friends so they have meaningrsquordquo And that she said is preferable to ldquojust going out and buying somethingrdquo

Each holiday season the Huntrsquos decorations look new and refreshed Achieving such a look comes easy to Ginny

Since 1905 generations of travelers driving Highway 60 through

tions from year to year but change them aroundrdquo she added With traditional themes the Medlins use nostalgic decorations from their childhood

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

Whatever the season passersby can expect to see the house decorated with an array of mums in fall to bright blue banners showing their Wildcat pride

Markrsquos law firm is in La Center Shelley is a financial service specialist at Regions Bank n

When Mark moved into the house in 1999 he declared that the dining room would be devoted

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

Mayfieldrsquos ldquoLiving Christmas Treerdquo Prepares for 25th Annual Performance

Nov Dec | Posh bull 19

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

One of the Living Christmas Tree performances in 1996 included singers still performing this year (Left)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

Ginny amp Dr Hilary Hunt

For Ginny and Dr Hilary Hunt the holidays are a season for entertaining family and friends It begins at Thanksgiving when 34 guests are seated for a typical

seasonal dinner From then until Christmas the house is a warm and festive setting for at least three luncheons a brunch and an extended family of 24 for dinner on Christmas Eve

In the meantime the couple opens their home to visiting hunters in town for the hunting season

ldquoLast year we had three hunters for three nightsrdquo Ginny said Such a hectic season would be daunting to you and me but

for the Hunts itrsquos just another reason to open their home to family and friends And Ginny rises to the occasion by decorat-ing each room appropriately To do so requires organization and if she is anything Ginny Hunt is well organized

So much so that she does most of the work herself She has two efficient helpers Sonia Travis and Cathy Coffelt for this herculean effort and she is so organized that by the time they arrive the procedure is speedy and effortless This has been achieved by storing the decorations in specially labeled boxes

stored in the attic and placed in specific rooms below Thus dining room orna-ments are in a box appro-priately marked and placed in the dining room kitchen decorations in a box in the kitchen and so on

ldquoThey come at eight and by two orsquoclock everything is basically donerdquo Ginny said

The Hunts reside in a 16- room house but decorate only 12 Still the work is challenging

The solution is two-fold

organization and renewal The decorations are or-ganized in a box but are displayed in different ways each year The result is that when visitors tour the house they are convinced that the decorations are new Actually they are displayed differently each year giving the feeling of newness

ldquoYou learn to deal with what yoursquove gotrdquo Ginny said ldquoYou learn to improviserdquo

She has learned by her

professional experience when she was a hospital nurse

ldquoWe try to be cost-effective in a hospitalrdquo she explained ldquoThatrsquos the way we do things hererdquo

For example she contin-ued ldquoYou can just change a ribbon and make it look newrdquo

Seldom do you see any-thing new at Christmas It just looks new thanks to Ginnyrsquos expertise at ldquofresh-ening uprdquo old decorations

lsquoIrsquove collected over the yearsrdquo she said ldquoSome things have been given by family and friends so they have meaningrsquordquo And that she said is preferable to ldquojust going out and buying somethingrdquo

Each holiday season the Huntrsquos decorations look new and refreshed Achieving such a look comes easy to Ginny

Since 1905 generations of travelers driving Highway 60 through

Kevil have admired the house with three gables for its architec-tural stateliness but the house took on new charm when Mark and Shelley Medlin became lords of the manor

tions from year to year but change them aroundrdquo she added With traditional themes the Medlins use nostalgic decorations from their childhood

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

Whatever the season passersby can expect to see the house decorated with an array of mums in fall to bright blue banners showing their Wildcat pride

Markrsquos law firm is in La Center Shelley is a financial service specialist at Regions Bank n

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

Mayfieldrsquos ldquoLiving Christmas Treerdquo Prepares for 25th Annual Performance

Nov Dec | Posh bull 19

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

Ginny amp Dr Hilary Hunt

For Ginny and Dr Hilary Hunt the holidays are a season for entertaining family and friends It begins at Thanksgiving when 34 guests are seated for a typical

seasonal dinner From then until Christmas the house is a warm and festive setting for at least three luncheons a brunch and an extended family of 24 for dinner on Christmas Eve

In the meantime the couple opens their home to visiting hunters in town for the hunting season

ldquoLast year we had three hunters for three nightsrdquo Ginny said Such a hectic season would be daunting to you and me but

for the Hunts itrsquos just another reason to open their home to family and friends And Ginny rises to the occasion by decorat-ing each room appropriately To do so requires organization and if she is anything Ginny Hunt is well organized

So much so that she does most of the work herself She has two efficient helpers Sonia Travis and Cathy Coffelt for this herculean effort and she is so organized that by the time they arrive the procedure is speedy and effortless This has been achieved by storing the decorations in specially labeled boxes

stored in the attic and placed in specific rooms below Thus dining room orna-ments are in a box appro-priately marked and placed in the dining room kitchen decorations in a box in the kitchen and so on

ldquoThey come at eight and by two orsquoclock everything is basically donerdquo Ginny said

The Hunts reside in a 16- room house but decorate only 12 Still the work is challenging

The solution is two-fold

organization and renewal The decorations are or-ganized in a box but are displayed in different ways each year The result is that when visitors tour the house they are convinced that the decorations are new Actually they are displayed differently each year giving the feeling of newness

ldquoYou learn to deal with what yoursquove gotrdquo Ginny said ldquoYou learn to improviserdquo

She has learned by her

professional experience when she was a hospital nurse

ldquoWe try to be cost-effective in a hospitalrdquo she explained ldquoThatrsquos the way we do things hererdquo

For example she contin-ued ldquoYou can just change a ribbon and make it look newrdquo

Seldom do you see any-thing new at Christmas It just looks new thanks to Ginnyrsquos expertise at ldquofresh-ening uprdquo old decorations

lsquoIrsquove collected over the yearsrdquo she said ldquoSome things have been given by family and friends so they have meaningrsquordquo And that she said is preferable to ldquojust going out and buying somethingrdquo

Each holiday season the Huntrsquos decorations look new and refreshed Achieving such a look comes easy to Ginny

Since 1905 generations of travelers driving Highway 60 through

tions from year to year but change them aroundrdquo she added With traditional themes the Medlins use nostalgic decorations from their childhood

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

Whatever the season passersby can expect to see the house decorated with an array of mums in fall to bright blue banners showing their Wildcat pride

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

Mayfieldrsquos ldquoLiving Christmas Treerdquo Prepares for 25th Annual Performance

Nov Dec | Posh bull 19

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

ldquoThey come at eight and by two orsquoclock everything is basically donerdquo Ginny said

The Hunts reside in a 16- room house but decorate only 12 Still the work is challenging

The solution is two-fold

organization and renewal The decorations are or-ganized in a box but are displayed in different ways each year The result is that when visitors tour the house they are convinced that the decorations are new Actually they are displayed differently each year giving the feeling of newness

ldquoYou learn to deal with what yoursquove gotrdquo Ginny said ldquoYou learn to improviserdquo

She has learned by her

professional experience when she was a hospital nurse

ldquoWe try to be cost-effective in a hospitalrdquo she explained ldquoThatrsquos the way we do things hererdquo

For example she contin-ued ldquoYou can just change a ribbon and make it look newrdquo

Seldom do you see any-thing new at Christmas It just looks new thanks to Ginnyrsquos expertise at ldquofresh-ening uprdquo old decorations

lsquoIrsquove collected over the yearsrdquo she said ldquoSome things have been given by family and friends so they have meaningrsquordquo And that she said is preferable to ldquojust going out and buying somethingrdquo

Each holiday season the Huntrsquos decorations look new and refreshed Achieving such a look comes easy to Ginny

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

Whatever the season passersby can expect to see the house decorated with an array of mums in fall to bright blue banners showing their Wildcat pride

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

Tour of HomesBenton Womenrsquos Club

Story by Vicki Hunkler | Photography by Willian Carter

After 10 years the Womenrsquos Club of Benton revived

its Christmas Tour of Homes last year much to the delight of area resi-dents

From the 1906 tradition

rich home of Murray and Sherra Riley to the fes-tive contemporary deacutecor used by Natalie and Justin Edwards one couldnrsquot take the tour without feeling the Christmas spirit The homes of Laurie and Rich-

Gorgeous ornaments happy snowmen silver branches and ldquosnowrdquo lad-

en trees were in abundance for dozens of tour goers If traditional red and green with wooden reindeer sleighs and natural green-ery are your favorites or if bold purples and glittering pinks adorning a tree catch

ldquoThey come at eight and by two orsquoclock everything is basically donerdquo Ginny said

The Hunts reside in a 16- room house but decorate only 12 Still the work is challenging

The solution is two-fold

organization and renewal The decorations are or-ganized in a box but are displayed in different ways each year The result is that when visitors tour the house they are convinced that the decorations are new Actually they are displayed differently each year giving the feeling of newness

ldquoYou learn to deal with what yoursquove gotrdquo Ginny said ldquoYou learn to improviserdquo

She has learned by her

professional experience when she was a hospital nurse

ldquoWe try to be cost-effective in a hospitalrdquo she explained ldquoThatrsquos the way we do things hererdquo

For example she contin-ued ldquoYou can just change a ribbon and make it look newrdquo

Seldom do you see any-thing new at Christmas It just looks new thanks to Ginnyrsquos expertise at ldquofresh-ening uprdquo old decorations

lsquoIrsquove collected over the yearsrdquo she said ldquoSome things have been given by family and friends so they have meaningrsquordquo And that she said is preferable to ldquojust going out and buying somethingrdquo

Each holiday season the Huntrsquos decorations look new and refreshed Achieving such a look comes easy to Ginny

tions from year to year but change them aroundrdquo she added With traditional themes the Medlins use nostalgic decorations from their childhood

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

Whatever the season passersby can expect to see the house decorated with an array of mums in fall to bright blue banners showing their Wildcat pride

Markrsquos law firm is in La Center Shelley is a financial service specialist at Regions Bank n

When Mark moved into the house in 1999 he declared that the dining room would be devoted

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

ldquoThe Garden Club didnrsquot have a Christmas gather-ingrdquo he said ldquoand it doesnrsquot meet in December so I asked if I could have an informal party so everyone could get together They said yes and

Irsquove been doing it ever sincerdquo In keeping with the

informal atmosphere of his holiday party Holland serves the donated goodies in his kitchen He never knows what will be brought in so he makes chicken salad ham salad pimiento cheese and pumpkin bread In the spirit of Christmas giving he makes sure each guest leaves with a loaf of the bread n

Since 1905 generations of travelers driving Highway 60 through

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

Whatever the season passersby can expect to see the house decorated with an array of mums in fall to bright blue banners showing their Wildcat pride

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

Nov Dec | Posh bull 19

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

There is lots of greenery in his house at Christmas and it is all natural He dislikes artificiality preferring to gather material from his yard The handmade Christmas wreaths and garlands feature evergreen branches magnolia

December 26 Ornaments are packed away and the tree is dragged to a fence line in the back yard providing shelter for wild life One year Hol-land discovered a birdrsquos nest made from the silver tinsel left on the tree

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

ldquoThe Garden Club didnrsquot have a Christmas gather-ingrdquo he said ldquoand it doesnrsquot meet in December so I asked if I could have an informal party so everyone could get together They said yes and

Irsquove been doing it ever sincerdquo In keeping with the

informal atmosphere of his holiday party Holland serves the donated goodies in his kitchen He never knows what will be brought in so he makes chicken salad ham salad pimiento cheese and pumpkin bread In the spirit of Christmas giving he makes sure each guest leaves with a loaf of the bread n

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

Mayfieldrsquos ldquoLiving Christmas Treerdquo Prepares for 25th Annual Performance

Nov Dec | Posh bull 19

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

ldquoThe Garden Club didnrsquot have a Christmas gather-ingrdquo he said ldquoand it doesnrsquot meet in December so I asked if I could have an informal party so everyone could get together They said yes and

Irsquove been doing it ever sincerdquo In keeping with the

informal atmosphere of his holiday party Holland serves the donated goodies in his kitchen He never knows what will be brought in so he makes chicken salad ham salad pimiento cheese and pumpkin bread In the spirit of Christmas giving he makes sure each guest leaves with a loaf of the bread n

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

Mayfieldrsquos ldquoLiving Christmas Treerdquo Prepares for 25th Annual Performance

By Vicki Hunkler

Nov Dec | Posh bull 19

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

ldquoThe Garden Club didnrsquot have a Christmas gather-ingrdquo he said ldquoand it doesnrsquot meet in December so I asked if I could have an informal party so everyone could get together They said yes and

Irsquove been doing it ever sincerdquo In keeping with the

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

Whatever the season passersby can expect to see the house decorated with an array of mums in fall to bright blue banners showing their Wildcat pride

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

Nov Dec | Posh bull 19

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

Nov Dec | Posh bull 19

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

After 10 years the Womenrsquos Club of Benton revived

its Christmas Tour of Homes last year much to the delight of area resi-dents

From the 1906 tradition

rich home of Murray and Sherra Riley to the fes-tive contemporary deacutecor used by Natalie and Justin Edwards one couldnrsquot take the tour without feeling the Christmas spirit The homes of Laurie and Rich-

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

Whatever the season passersby can expect to see the house decorated with an array of mums in fall to bright blue banners showing their Wildcat pride

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

After 10 years the Womenrsquos Club of Benton revived

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

Whatever the season passersby can expect to see the house decorated with an array of mums in fall to bright blue banners showing their Wildcat pride

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

Like the turn-of-the-century house the Medlin family is steeped in tradition When a young sophomore in high school Mark wrote a poem about Christmas which is read every Christmas Eve as the family gathers to celebrate Christrsquos birth Through the years he has written poems of tribute to Shelley their adult children and extended family members

Both of the Medlins are musicians actively involved in their church music programs Their home reflects their love of music with the piano as a focal point for decorating Shelleyrsquos motherrsquos carolers are assembled on the piano as if ready to join in when the Medlins gather around for carols

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

Mayfieldrsquos ldquoLiving Christmas Treerdquo Prepares for 25th Annual Performance

Nov Dec | Posh bull 19

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

ldquoThe Garden Club didnrsquot have a Christmas gather-ingrdquo he said ldquoand it doesnrsquot meet in December so I asked if I could have an informal party so everyone could get together They said yes and

Irsquove been doing it ever sincerdquo In keeping with the

Drive we find three trees decorated to the hilt Pink aqua blue purple and a touch of yellow give one tree a festive happy look that children enjoy A huge tree in the breakfast area is topped off with a big snowman head candy cane striped ribbon trails through the branches and over-sized faux gift boxes dangle from the branches

Laurie chose red black and silver for the third tree found in the dining room Large white encrusted balls with ldquopeacerdquo ornaments complement the centerpiece on the round table where slender white deer glitter and white trees are at home among the ldquosnowrdquo covered branches ldquoMerry Christmasrdquo scrolled in black provides the contrast for this elegant deacutecor

In just a few weeks at First Baptist Church of Mayfield some 70 vocalists will once again breathe life into ldquoThe Living Christmas Treerdquo as the 25th anniversary of this special music and pageantry is celebrated

John Davis will direct this yearrsquos ldquoTreerdquo which will feature songs from the past 24 years and run Dec 4-8 Davis is one of a few singers who has performed each yearmdashBarry and Debbie Fowler and Terry and Yvonne Yates are others

Thousands of area resi-dents have attended these inspirational performances since the lsquo80s when Rev David Whaley former min-ister of music and youth and associate pastor proposed the idea to First Baptist after seeing something similar at

Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis

ldquoI was so moved by the tree and I knew it would be a great outreach tool First Baptist had the perfect setup and sanctuary for such an eventrdquo Whaley said The late C T ldquoTeetumrdquo Winslow a pillar of the church for many years was sold on the idea and agreed to raise the $30000 needed to make it happen He raised that and more from supportive church members

ldquoWe got a skeleton crew together and interest grewrdquo Whaley said ldquoPeople in the community who werenrsquot members even wanted to participaterdquo

ldquoWe started with seven tiers and they now have 10 Each tier of the tree costs several thousand dollars and (the tree) will hold up to 90 peoplerdquo

Mayfieldrsquos ldquoLiving Christmas Treerdquo Prepares for 25th Annual Performance

By Vicki Hunkler

Nov Dec | Posh bull 19

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

One of the Living Christmas Tree performances in 1996 included singers still performing this year (Left)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

ldquoThe Garden Club didnrsquot have a Christmas gather-ingrdquo he said ldquoand it doesnrsquot meet in December so I asked if I could have an informal party so everyone could get together They said yes and

Irsquove been doing it ever sincerdquo In keeping with the

informal atmosphere of his holiday party Holland serves the donated goodies in his kitchen He never knows what will be brought in so he makes chicken salad ham salad pimiento cheese and pumpkin bread In the spirit of Christmas giving he makes sure each guest leaves with a loaf of the bread n

ldquoYears ago people stood outside waiting to get in so we expanded from four nights to five and then seven This was our gift to the com-munity and we never wanted to turn people away so there was no chargerdquo

More than 4000 attendees are on hand each year and al-though there is still no charge donations are welcomed and help keep the tree going

Before the first song is sung the work of tireless volunteers begins in the sum-

mer It actually takes a vil-lage to put the tree together Using 3600 pounds of steel wood and chicken wire to assemble the giant structure the volunteers also place 300 pieces of greenery and 2000 lights to complete the tree

Workers like Bill Burgie an electrical engineer Joe Poole Faye and Charles Whitnell and Martha Wyn-stra are just a few of the doz-ens of church members who contribute their time talent and elbow grease toward put-

Mark Petty helps remove the tree lights (Below)

One of the Living Christmas Tree performances in 1996 included singers still performing this year (Left)

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

There is lots of greenery in his house at Christmas and it is all natural He dislikes artificiality preferring to gather material from his yard The handmade Christmas wreaths and garlands feature evergreen branches magnolia

December 26 Ornaments are packed away and the tree is dragged to a fence line in the back yard providing shelter for wild life One year Hol-land discovered a birdrsquos nest made from the silver tinsel left on the tree

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

ldquoThe Garden Club didnrsquot have a Christmas gather-ingrdquo he said ldquoand it doesnrsquot meet in December so I asked if I could have an informal party so everyone could get together They said yes and

Irsquove been doing it ever sincerdquo In keeping with the

informal atmosphere of his holiday party Holland serves the donated goodies in his kitchen He never knows what will be brought in so he makes chicken salad ham salad pimiento cheese and pumpkin bread In the spirit of Christmas giving he makes sure each guest leaves with a loaf of the bread n

ting the tree up and taking it down year after year

ldquoWe have so many mem-bers full of love and concern as they assist with the tree the puppets handbells cos-tumes and bannersrdquo now says member John Davis

An EMT and a nurse are on hand at each per-formance in case anyone standing in the tree has a medical issue Each robed singer must stand in a small boxed area for over an hour each night among the bright lights and greenery

Sherry Cope who has sung in 17 performances said ldquoIn the first few years a church member in the audience was assigned an area to watch in case a singer became ill and had to be taken out It was ex-tremely hot in the tree but the upgrades and improve-ment in lighting have made this less of an issuerdquo

The sanctuary is kept at a cool 60 degrees during the performances for the benefit of the singers

She recalled one year

when an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was predicted for the first pre-sentation night ldquoIt didnrsquot de-ter the singers or the crowdrdquo

ldquoRight now I have 86 people signed up for this performancerdquo Davis said ldquoI make contact early on with singers and send a card to everyone who has ever been in the tree about 125 invitations We may not end up with all 86 but there are usually 65 or more participantsrdquo

Davis starts listening to music in April when pub-lishers send seasonal music to churches ldquoI review the CDs and see what message is there and what type of music the choir can do I go from 60 to 30 to 20 songs and then choose the final 12 depicting the birth death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in that orderrdquo

Singers receive their music at the end of August and must have it memorized by mid-November They spend two and a half hours per week practicing ldquoThey

can give of themselves spiri-tually once they know the musicrdquo Whaley explained

Whaleyrsquos daughter Melo-dy Wheat sang ldquoNo Roomrdquo from the top of the tree one year plus two Mayfield mayors Arthur Byrn and Teresa Cantrell have sung several times Davisrsquo three children will be singing in the 25th performance

This yearrsquos Living Christ-mas Tree music will feature songs of the season from past performances One of the crowd favorites ldquoWonderful Namerdquo will be directed by Whaley one evening Other selections such as ldquoWise Men Still Seek Himrdquo ldquoMary Did You Knowrdquo and ldquoYahwehrdquo are also on the agenda with ldquoThe Hallelujah Chorusrdquo concluding the musical performance

The ladiesrsquo handbell choir and puppets are incorpo-rated into the program much to the delight of chil-dren of all ages Last year traditional Christmas mu-sic such as ldquoI Canrsquot Believe

Itrsquos Christmas ldquoGo Tell It on the Mountainrdquo and ldquoSilent Nightrdquo were part of the youth puppets and handbell choir segments

Near the end of the performance spectacular banners are presented by men in beautifully adorned cloaks and crowns The large banners represent the many names of Jesus included in the Scriptures and were made by church members Bill Bryan orchestrates the banner ministry

ldquoEveryone involvedmdash from those who prepare meals for us to the parking attendantsmdash are willing to devote so much time to the treersquos success but the reward is greatrdquo Davis said

ldquoCelebrating the birth of our Savior is the reason for the season Participat-ing in the Living Christ-mas Tree presentation is for me an opportunity to share the good news with othersrdquo Sherry Cope added ldquoI feel I have expe-rienced the true meaning of Christmasrdquo n

Martha Wynstra has coordi-nated the event the past two

years (Above)

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

There is lots of greenery in his house at Christmas and it is all natural He dislikes artificiality preferring to gather material from his yard The handmade Christmas wreaths and garlands feature evergreen branches magnolia

leaves and nandina berries Everything comes down

December 26 Ornaments are packed away and the tree is dragged to a fence line in the back yard providing shelter for wild life One year Hol-land discovered a birdrsquos nest made from the silver tinsel left on the tree

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

ldquoThe Garden Club didnrsquot have a Christmas gather-ingrdquo he said ldquoand it doesnrsquot meet in December so I asked if I could have an informal party so everyone could get together They said yes and

Irsquove been doing it ever sincerdquo In keeping with the

informal atmosphere of his holiday party Holland serves the donated goodies in his kitchen He never knows what will be brought in so he makes chicken salad ham salad pimiento cheese and pumpkin bread In the spirit of Christmas giving he makes sure each guest leaves with a loaf of the bread n

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

Itrsquos a good thing that Richard Hollandrsquos attic has lots of storage space because he hates to throw

anything out Not family treasures not party invitations and not Christmas decorations

ldquoI always have a big treerdquo he said ldquoMy favorite thing in the world is to decorate itrdquo

The ornaments on the Christmas tree in his sitting room have been used year after year and all have a history Some are souvenirs from his many trips abroad - he blocks out time each summer to study at Oxford University in England - some are gifts from old friends some are family treasures from

his childhood and some were purchased at church holiday bazaars

Now that you know that Holland never throws tree ornaments away and is still collecting you are probably wondering how his tree survives such a burden Actually one year it didnrsquot and its branches overburdened it fell over ldquowith such an impactrdquo he said ldquoit shot over into the next roomrdquo

Also hanging on the treersquos branches are greeting cards from friends

ldquoItrsquos fun to look at them and remem-ber peoplerdquo he said ldquoI never throw them awayrdquo

He never throws party invitations away either He was going through a

invitation-crammed drawer one day and when they all fell in a heap on the floor he decided to use them as a holiday display So he tacked them to a hallway door The door has turned out to be a conversation piece as visitors see them and recall good times at wonderful parties of the past

ldquoItrsquos historyrdquo Holland saidOccasionally he will hear a visitorrsquos

disgruntled commentrdquo Hump I wasnrsquot invited to that partyrdquo

Holland does not buy new Christmas decorations He doesnrsquot have to because there are so many family mementos that bring back happy memories There are Nativity scenes Santa Claus figures

There is lots of greenery in his house at Christmas and it is all natural He dislikes artificiality preferring to gather material from his yard The handmade Christmas wreaths and garlands feature evergreen branches magnolia

leaves and nandina berries Everything comes down

December 26 Ornaments are packed away and the tree is dragged to a fence line in the back yard providing shelter for wild life One year Hol-land discovered a birdrsquos nest made from the silver tinsel left on the tree

For 13 years Holland invites fellow members of the Paducah Garden Club

to gather in his home for an afternoon holiday party He provides the setting and they provide the edibles which sounds like a pretty good plan to me

ldquoThe Garden Club didnrsquot have a Christmas gather-ingrdquo he said ldquoand it doesnrsquot meet in December so I asked if I could have an informal party so everyone could get together They said yes and

Irsquove been doing it ever sincerdquo In keeping with the

informal atmosphere of his holiday party Holland serves the donated goodies in his kitchen He never knows what will be brought in so he makes chicken salad ham salad pimiento cheese and pumpkin bread In the spirit of Christmas giving he makes sure each guest leaves with a loaf of the bread n
