Shaking Out the Good Stuff — Family’s Christmas Light Show in Jeanerette, Louisiana Delights Visitors From Near and Far

Holiday light displays have become artwork these days and one family in Jeanerette, Louisiana has painted quite the picture in their yard this Christmas season.

Actually, this is the third year for David and Marybeth Charpentier and their Christmas light show and interactive experience they've coined "Christmas in the Canefield."

Daughter Emily Hebert tells us that her parents started this free lights show solely out of the goodness of their hearts.

"Their main goal was to make their grandchildren happy and to keep the Christmas spirit alive," Emily explains.

"Christmas in the Canefield" is located at 2410 S. Hubertville Road in Jeanerette and it is free to attend.

Now, if you can't make it out, here's a little bit of what you're missing out on.

The light show runs Sunday through Thursday from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm. On Friday and Saturday, it runs from 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm, weather permitting.

On the weekends, and when the grounds are dry, the public is invited to walk around and see the displays up close and use the photo op spots to take pictures.

If you want to pay "Christmas in the Canefield" a visit, make sure you check its Facebook page before you head out to make sure of the status of that night's display.

Our tip of the hat to the Charpentiers on a job more than well done in spreading some good old-fashioned holiday cheer.
