THANK YOU! 🌟🎄 For 17 years, Norton Lights Wells Me has been raising funds for Maine wishes while sharing joy during the holiday season. This year, they raised over $8,600! We are so grateful for the generosity of the Norton Family and everyone who is a part of this festive and fun event!

Thank you for joining us this season for the magic, imagination, and—of course—wishes of Norton Lights! With tremendous gratitude, we are thrilled to share that the generous donations from our visitors totaled $8,629.62 for Make-A-Wish Maine, helping to make wishes come true for deserving children across our state.

We are deeply thankful for the love and hope shared by everyone who visited this season, as well as those who donated from afar. Your willingness to step away from the hustle and bustle of the holidays to experience and support the light show—always meaningful, but especially during a shorter holiday season like this year—means more to us than words can express. Your kindness is truly immeasurable, and it is such a privilege to help make wishes come true together with you 💙💫

We are also truly blessed by the incredible support of our community, our neighbors, family, and friends, and deeply grateful for the many loving, generous, and helping hands that surround us. Our sincere thanks go out to the businesses, media outlets, public works and utility workers, and countless individuals who selflessly shared their time and talents to promote our Christmas Wishes light show, spread awareness of our mission to support Make-A-Wish Maine, and share so much holiday cheer. From news articles and broadcast segments to treating icy roads, keeping the power on during stormy days, and directing traffic on chilly nights, we truly could not do this without you. While the magic of Norton Lights shines brightly within the show itself, it also lives within the village of people who make it possible each year. To each and every one of you—thank you for your unwavering support ❤️

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made our Night of Hope so joyful this year—Frankie’s mom, Beth, her siblings, her loving family and friends, and the local businesses who so generously donated treats for our guests on this special night. Our hearts grew more than three sizes as we honored and celebrated Frankie with you 💚

Lastly, we would like to express our gratitude to Make-A-Wish Maine for allowing us to be part of the important work you do, for trusting us with your mission, and for supporting our efforts. It is truly a joy to partner with you 💙💫

At Norton Lights, our goal has always been simple: to spread Christmas cheer, one light at a time. Whether through families enjoying cherished traditions or by helping make wishes come true, we hope we brought a little extra cheer and joy to your holiday season.

Thank you for sharing in our Christmas Magic, believing in our One Wish, and journeying with us into a world of Pure Imagination this season 💚✨ From our family to yours, Merry Christmas and warm wishes for a happy, healthy New Year.

With gratitude,
The Norton Family ❤️💚

One Wells family is lighting up the community this Christmas.

’Twas the night before Christmas,
And the Grinch shook his head.
“It’s like they heard nothing—
Not one word that I said!”

“My heart grew three sizes,
I went to the Who feast!
I even sat down
And carved the roast beast!”

“‘Christmas means more!’
I cried loud and clear,
Yet they’re still ending the lights—
They’re stealing the cheer!”

As he puzzled with Max
Over just what to do,
He thought of the wishes,
The families—and YOU.

“All the Whos down in Whoville,
Deserve cheerful sights,
They should all get to see
The magic of Norton Lights!”

“I must keep them going,”
He muttered with a huff,
“Because Christmas is about more
Than just boxes of stuff!”

So he crept through the house,
And what do you know?
He stole the red button
That starts the whole show!

He chuckled and sneered,
“This will be a cinch!”
Enjoy the lights now through Sunday,
All thanks to the Grinch!” 💚✨

Yes, the Norton family knows this,
And here is their confession,
They let him keep the button
Because they know he’ll learn his lesson 🤫😉
