It&#8217;s just not the company you might expect.<\/p>\n<p>The Repperts wanted to do something to spread Christmas cheer, so they are inviting people over. And when I say people, I mean anyone who wants to make a Christmas memory.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We decided at our home at 2235 W. Highland in Allentown to make a little winter wonderland so that you can come and you could have pictures with your family,&#8221; said Amy Reppert.<\/p>\n<p>In the Reppert&#8217;s backyard you will find a photo wall complete with a bench and a table to set your cell phone on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a plug over by the wall that you can use at night time for the lights and for the snowman,&#8221; Amy said.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, so it&#8217;s not an invitation many people would put out there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We just ask that when you leave you unplug it,&#8221;\u00a0Amy said.<\/p>\n<p>But the Repperts say it&#8217;s just what you do to help your community, especially when so many people are struggling.<\/p>\n<p>So for a few minutes you can stroll along the candy canes, sit among the snowflakes or take a selfie with a snowman, and while 2020 may not be remembered as a year of peace on Earth &#8220;We&#8217;re all family, the whole world is really a family,&#8221;\u00a0Amy said.<\/p>\n<p>On Highland Street, there&#8217;s definitely goodwill toward man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa. &#8211; Amy and Dave Reppert are decorating for company.
