Matt Furniture Window Scene Brightens Holiday Nights
The Matt Furniture store window display has drawn many comments for its simple and striking Christmas scene. Managers Hannah and Ernie Knutsen took a two week vacation visiting their daughter in Nogales, Arizona, then traveled through New Mexico where cold weather disrupted their trip. Water pipes froze in their motel, snow from the prior day remained, and a nearby cafe could not serve breakfast due to the cold. The note ends with an apology to the Chambers of Commerce in that area.
