A Christmas Welcome Home and Throw Out the Welcome Mat
A Christmas Welcome Home
Do you have a Christmas welcome home for your loved ones and friends? What says “Merry Christmas” better than a decorated house with lights burning in the window. Or is this feeling a fantasy that we cling to from out childhood?
Well, call it anyway your want, but I simply enjoy the Christmas lights and the decorated houses. Yes, often people go above and beyond and really turn their homes and yards into the spectacular. Do you go for a tour of the lights in your city?
