Christmas Open House: Overview

On Sunday, December 10th, we had an open house for the residents of Drumm Farm at our home. We had about 50 people attend and we had a wonderful time meeting our new friends and neighbors in the Villas at Drumm Farm. Our home was beautifully decorated and most our nativities were out for display. It took an amazing amount of work. Sally did most of it, but I did help some.
There are icicle lights on the eves. A friend helped me put up the hooks and the lights. The second picture shows how the house looks at night.














The Christmas Tree in the Living Room is 9 1/2 feet high. We love it, but it takes a large number of ornaments.



This is the Christmas Tree in the Hearth Room. It has the Williamsburg and White House ornaments on it and other fun ones from our earlier years.


This is the Christmas Tree in the basement. The people who came to the Open House were asked to Hang an ornament and then eat a cookie. The results are good.
