    CANTON, North Carolina (WLOS) — A beloved Christmas tradition has returned to Canton after 30 years, carrying with it a timeless message for the season.

A sign featuring Tiny Tim from the iconic story “A Christmas Carol” now adorns the side of Wells Funeral Home, displaying the famous line, “God bless us everyone.” In “A Christmas Carol,” Tiny Tim’s character plays a crucial role in teaching Ebenezer Scrooge the true meaning of Christmas.

“I just thought, given the time of year that’s[…] happy, that this is a message we can share with everybody that comes by and sees our sign,” said Wells Greeley, funeral director at Wells Funeral Homes & Cremation Services. “I’m just really pleased that we’ve been able to resurrect this and offer it back to the community.”

The sign, which had been in storage for nearly three decades, invites residents to take photos and reflect on its message.
