Keeping Holidays Bright

One family business electrifies the holidays with festive traditions

Kelly and Peter Meer, of Meer Electric, have been pouring themselves into Roswell for over 40 years by serving customers for all their residential and commercial electrical needs. While growing their successful business, Peter also enjoyed serving as Captain at Station One at the Roswell Fire Department. Likewise, Kelly spent many years teaching children the rules of the road at Roswell's Safety Town. Staying active in the community is important to the family and they loved taking part in all that Roswell has to offer during the holiday season. Together, Kelly and Peter raised their daughters to appreciate this joyful time of year and the opportunities to celebrate. 

How do you like to spend time together as a family during the holidays?

"The Meer Family likes to go to the Christmas Eve services. When we lived in Roswell, we went to church at Roswell First Baptist for their Christmas Eve service. Then, we would celebrate with family and friends with a delicious Christmas Eve dinner."

Are there any special Roswell events your family enjoys this festive time of year?

"The Roswell Christmas Tour of Homes has always been a fun event for us.  When our daughters were growing up in Roswell, we always visited Santa Dan at the North Point Mall as well as Santa at one of the fire stations in Roswell."


Was there a time when your family took a memorable holiday trip to a fun-filled holiday locale?

"In 2007, our family took a trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. We had a great time visiting the parks that were decorated for Christmas. When our daughters were growing up we would also visit the Christmas lights at Lake Lanier Islands."

Are there any holiday events or traditions that Meer Electric shares with the community this time of year?

Meer Electric has been a part of the Roswell and Alpharetta Christmas tree lighting for the last 30 years. We provide power to these areas to allow for the Christmas tree and other decorations in the area to be lit during the month of December. We also make the snow at the tree lighting event in Alpharetta."
