Wednesday night, a Northampton County community got into the holiday spirit with a little help from Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter, Judy Pancoast.
Pancoast dropped by a private residence that featured community party and light display.
She has been putting on live performances across the country at private residences since 2010.
"I feel like I've been given this opportunity to be kind of an ambassador of joy," Pancoast said.
And it is a task Bushkill Township appreciates.
"It feels wonderful," Bushkill resident Patty Stahl said. "I mean, my kids love it."
Dozens from the community came out to sing and dance along with Pancoast's tunes.
"It was in 2004 that we found a video online of a house that was playing one of my songs, 'The House on Christmas Street,'" Pancoast said. "Since then it kind of got passed from decorator to decorator, all over the world."
After that Pancoast decided she would make free personal appearances at homes to sing her songs live. All she asks for in return is a donation to a charity. Wednesday night the group in Bushkill Township collected donations for the Jeff Gordon Foundation, which benefits children's cancer research.
"There's stuff for the kids and the adults," Bushkill resident, Sarah Loren said. "So just to be able to come with family and spend the time together is nice."
While she now lives in New Hampshire, Pancoast says her concerts have been such a success, she finds herself on the road a lot more than she had originally planned.
"My van has 461,000 miles on it," Pancoast said.
