In the city of Bixby, Oklahoma, Stephen Dunkelberg took it upon himself to spread holiday cheer by adorning his entire neighborhood with Christmas lights. Last year, Dunkelberg, the owner of a landscaping company, noticed the lack of festive decorations on his street while driving home during the holiday season. Determined to bring a touch of merriment to his community, Dunkelberg sought permission from his neighbors and embarked on a mission to illuminate all but two homes on his street.

His dedication and festive spirit have undoubtedly made a lasting impact on the tight-knit community.
Stephen Dunkelberg’s initiative serves as a heartwarming example of how one individual’s efforts can bring joy and unity to an entire neighborhood. In the spirit of the season, Dunkelberg’s willingness to go the extra mile not only transformed his street into a festive wonderland but also fostered a sense of community spirit and shared celebration among his neighbors in Bixby, Oklahoma.
