Most people on Christmas eve have family over to celebrate the holiday season. And if your family can’t make it, you sometimes head to a friend’s house, or just relax at home with a good Christmas movie.

But for the people of Garyville, Louisiana, Christmas Eve is your time to shine. This year’s Christmas Eve bonfires in Garyville feature a giant, 78-foot gator.

The group that created the wooden gator is named Blood, Sweat, and Bonfires. This year they have decided to give their lovable gator a name, the glorious project is titled “Gator Millet.” The gator will even feature a head that moves and a jaw that snaps.
