Shelly Jimenez says that despite her terminally ill son Christopher's condition getting worse, she had to continue a tradition of putting up one of the most beloved haunted Halloween displays in the South Bay for him.
One of the most beloved haunted Halloween displays in the South Bay is back.Each spooky detail of the Vernon Avenue display in San Jose was created by Shelly Jimenez for her son Christopher.
Becoming homebound several years ago kept Christopher from going out and seeing holiday lights, something he always loved, so in 2018, his mom brought the lights to him."He just enjoyed it so much and then the next year 2019, I went a little bit bigger with a huge carnival theme," Jimenez said. "And that's how it snowballed."
"It's part of our community to do it, so I'm so glad that she's doing it," said neighbor Larry Ames. "It's amazing.""I have people come from Fresno, San Diego, way up north, every year just to come by and say hi, and to visit the display," Jimenez said. "I was not going to do it this year because, like I said, he's not doing well," she said. "But I could not let the community down because they enjoy it so much and it's actually a gift to me and my family because the outpouring of love and support that we receive every year. It really means so much to us."
