We want to invite everyone to a social-distancing Christmas event!
My husband, Ryan Jones, has created the Jones Family Christmas Light and Music Show at our home on 1748 Abbington Hill in Lexington.

The show can be watched from your car, and the music and narration can be heard by tuning to 89.5 FM.
