(CNN) - A snow globe on four wheels. Not many people can see the lights on Rachelle Brown's home at the end of the road, so she takes the lights with her.

"Not many people get to see our decorations, and we love our decorations, and so this way we go drive around and get to see everybody's job by bringing the lights to the road," said Brown.

It started with a plug to power the lights and from there it grew. Now, there are about 100 Christmas lights, just as many cotton balls and enough white stuff to cover a queen-sized bed. Even the window sills have a coat of snow.

"It just makes me think about Christmas a lot and it fills my heart," said Elora Blackburn, her 8-year-old daughter.

Usually there is a little snow scene beside Elora, complete with a lighted Christmas tree, Santa and Frosty. But on Sunday, baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph are on parade.

"It's a little hard to see around the nativity, so I try to do that one when I'm just going straight from my house to church," said Brown.

Now you know what a little Christmas spirit, some imagination and some bright lights will create.

"It's such a hustle bustle season and it's just nice to slow down and be able to know that when people are pulling up to the stop light, they are gonna say something nice to you instead of 'Hey, get out of the way!'" said Brown.
