For a dozen years, from 1983 to 1995, the yard of Richard and Lois Burris along U.S. 54 sported a most unique Christmas decoration.
So unique, Richard estimates, that “there’s really nothing like it in the country.”
The decoration is a 3-foot birthday cake with equally tall rotating candles that spell out “Happy Birthday Jesus!” on one side and “Season’s Greetings” on the other.
