  4. I remember my first time seeing the Gaddy lights! I was probably about 5 years old. Iโ€™m 23 and still love seeing them! Theyโ€™re close to my home town of Newnan, I hope to bring my future kids ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

  12. I have medicine that the United States defense department in the United States Pentagon gave me so that I couldn't be cloned or cloner and I can't be cloned and when I was down there it looks in almost feels like there are no living people in Jalisco Guadalajara and that the majority of them are clone or cloner

  14. It's one of those times when I honestly need to talk to my grandparents that is over 200 years old because if they clone or clone Montezuma my grandfather Geronimo who is over 200 years old knew him and so I need to understand a few things about Montezuma

  15. Christmas should be canceled permanently.

  16. Because if they clone or cloner Montezuma and his clone or cloner is out there walking around he needs to understand something I haven't ever been his enemy and I hope I won't ever be his enemy when they clone or cloner them they start looking for their families and if they clone or cloner him he's looking Empress Marie Montezuma his daughter she was only 12 when Spain invaded and murdered the imperial family court and military

  17. Its tiiiiiiiime ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ #AIWFC

  18. Surprised I didnt hear about this. Been visiting that display for over twenty years. Always interesting to see what they add.

  19. A genocide of children happened right after He was born. Looks like we're repeating history on time.

  20. It's not often that you see happy news broadcasts but you gotta love moments like this when there are. I'm happy that the community around this couple was able to save Christmas.

  21. Everyone i know.. is starting a large boycott against amerikkka.

  22. These are the things we need to celebrate.

  23. The Gaddyโ€™s are a lovely family. I went to school with their kids. Glad to see theyโ€™re doing well!

  24. Cars should have turned their lights off. It's beautiful!!

  25. Christmas is the birthday of Jesus Christ period.

  26. Destroying Jesus birth place but celebrating Christmas. Makes sense

  27. August.? … That's a bit early.
