THANK YOU! After 38 years of putting on the Christmas Ranch Display, we want to thank each and every one of you that helped in some way. Thank you to each visitor that drove thru once, the visitors that waited in line to Santa, and the visitors that drove through countless times. Thank you to every person who shared our display with friends, watched us on the Great Christmas Light Fight, or just looked at pictures online. Thank you to the visitors that donated and helped so many families in need have a joyfull Christmas. But most importantly, THANK YOU to the friends, family, and volunteers that spent countless hours setting up and taking down the display every year.

We will genuinely miss the warmth of the community that has made our display a cherished tradition.

Love, The Hanley Family

Thank you to the Greater Cleveland Chamber of Commerce for recognizing our family at your December luncheon. We have truly enjoyed sharing our Christmas spirit and giving back to the community we call home. We will miss all y'all. Thank You!

“In recognition of the many years your family has given to Cleveland. For all the long lines waiting to see Santa Bob, for the candy canes and lumps of coal, the sparkle put in the eyes of children, and just the sheer excitement of everyone that drove through each year. Y'all have made a lasting impression on us ALL.
The Christmas Ranch will be missed.
Thank you Hanley Family for the 38 Years of Memories”

We are deeply saddend to announce that Robert “Bob” Hanley passed away Sunday, September 17th. Bob was the mastermind and creator behind everything you saw here at Christmas Ranch. For 37 years (10 of which in Huntsville, Texas) he brought holiday cheer to all through our free drive through display, with just this past year having over 344,000 Christmas lights. Bob found incredible joy preparing the display every November with the help of his family, friends, and community volunteers. Almost everything you saw at the display was handmade by Bob. He impacted many lives through the donations he collected for his church. We know the community and every person who has ever drove through Christmas Ranch will miss him dearly.

Love his family,
Diane Hanley, Trisha Hanley, & Robyn Kanewske
