Last night we went out looking at Christmas decorations around town “Ooooing” and “awwwwing” at the pretty lights, moving characters and extreme lengths some go to in order to spread the holiday cheer. To make it even a little more fun, we made an award for the “Best in Show” in which we planned to give to our favorite house. […]
