A special holiday tradition for one family has become a favorite stop for residents in Roosevelt during the Christmas season. This is the 13th year the Roosevelt Branch Library will have an epic gingerbread display and it is all thanks to the Branch Manager Stephen Moon and his family. The Moon family tradition of making gingerbread houses began when Stephen was just a kid. His mother, Ann Moon, taught him the art of making gingerbread and all the candy details as decoration. Over the years the displays became more and more elaborate and once Stephen’s wife Sabrina came on the scene the three of them worked as a team to out-do themselves each year, displaying the creations at the public library. In 2013, the Moon family added a new team member with Stephen and Sabrina’s first child Matthew, who joined the tradition his first year by eating the baby Jesus right out of the manger! This year’s theme is based on the
Wizard of Oz
book. It will be set up and on display by
December 4th through December 30th.
