Arlington Christmas display to go dark after more than half a century

ARLINGTON, Va. (DC News Now) — Calvin and Eleanor Marcey have brought Christmas cheer to their Abingdon Street neighborhood for 53 years with plenty of lights and displays.

However, all of that will go away after the holidays.

The Marceys did not want to talk. But, they left a message on their porch saying, “like all of you, we have enjoyed our Christmas display over the last 53 years. We will no longer be able to have a display as my full time and attention will need to be directed to her care.”

“I feel sad because I really like the house,” said Adam Berhane. “It’s really cool to see.”

“Ever since I was born, I’ve been coming here,” said William Voigt. “It’s just meant so much to the community to have this display.”

Free candy canes hang from a Christmas Tree for young children. That’s been a big draw for families over the years.

“I saw it. I was like, ‘wow, this is actually the best house I have ever seen in my life,’” said Tabitha Smith, a first-time visitor.

Unfortunately, this will be the last chance for her and others to see it.
