The Wild O'Falters (O'Brien-Abfalter) launched Dunedinville in December 2020 as a way to safely gather (remember the pandemic?) and share some holiday cheer. Why not continue? And why not extend Dunedinville into the backyard and the neighbors' yard? And why not write a story about gnomes? And a podcast? And a theme song? And..

It is a simple fact: we have the coolest Neighborhood Stage Crew in the world! (For more on that, check out Season 1, Episode 3 of Go Big Then Go Bigger: The Official Podcast of Dunedinville.) Unsolicited, the Broses, Joneses and and more have decked out their yards with gusto, adding their own style and flair.

A special shout-out to the D-ville 6 Pack: in chronological order, Neiva, Ari, Ilyie, Maven, Madi and Kenzie! Your parents may be spending all of your inheritance on holiday decorations, but hopefully we are building y'all a legacy of happy memories. Your energy and luminosity to be playing in the snow on cold, dark winter nights, one night after the other, is a true inspiration. You are our greatest acts of love and hope. Huzzah!
