George Beagle runs extension cords through a Christmas display Thursday in North Bennington. The lights will be turned on the night of Thanksgiving Day. The electric bill is "ridiculous," said Jean Jones, who is Beagle's wife. "But it's OK. For me, Christmas is the time to share and there are so many people who come to admire the decorations."
