Yes ! Your Christmas Home Tour. #1.
I haven’t decorated for a number of years but was so inspired by your home that I decorated this year front door to back, floor to ceiling. I didn’t know I had so much holiday “stuff.” Outside looked pretty good too.
Thank you. Happy New Year.
That’s great Alan! Glad I could be an inspiration! Happy New Year to you!
