Christmas Wonderland

Part of the Christmas display at Dr. Gropper's home.

If you ran into Gary Gropper from Atlanta, you'd soon realize that he is a skilled neurosurgeon, so much so that he is a neurosurgical consultant for the Atlanta Falcons football team. He specializes in lumbar spinal stenosis surgery, normal pressure hydrocephalus, and cervical disk disease and spondylosis. That's what he does year round and he's very good at it.

But when Christmas rolls around, he becomes known for something else. You see, he mounts a Christmas display at his home that is the delight of many in the Atlanta area and beyond. It's all inflatables, a large wonderland's worth, enough to make anyone feel like they landed in another world. The smiles are everywhere, both on the inflatables and also the viewers. This is a feel-good exhibit for a feel-good time of year.



That's not all this wonderful Christmas display does. The viewers are encouraged to provide donations that all go to a cause, GENESIS SHELTER, which provides support services and temporary shelter to homeless infants and their families. This program gives struggling mothers a chance for respite, a place that is safe for their babies, while they put their lives, and that of their family, back together. It's a road of healing, a way back to a home of their own.

Dr. Gropper collects donations and also serves on the advisory board of the shelter. You don't have to put in an appearance at Dr. Gropper's holiday display to make a contribution. The parent organization, OUR HOUSE, accepts donations online. Their organization has an expanded focus on homeless children and families in the Atlanta area. Your donations help to provide a step forward for families down on their luck and needing some support to get back on their feet.
