It’s that time of year – the holiday decorating time of year. So I was curious. Have you ever lived next door to the king or queen of outdoor holiday decorating?
For six years, I did. Back on Cranberry Court our home was sandwiched in between Christmas-loving Clark Griswold (said with pure admiration Mark) and the Halloween-loving Bride of Frankenstein (wish I had your scary style Kristin).
I loved it. Mainly because I could live vicariously through their creativity. But in my kids’ eyes, it only reinforced the fact that I was, indeed, holiday decorating challenged. There were years I tried, but it never quite measured up to the displays next door.
So as we enter this back-to-back holiday season, I thought it would be fun to take pictures of houses in the area that, in my opinion, are in the running for king/queen of outdoor holiday decor. I hope you email me photos if someone in your neighborhood takes holiday decorating to the next level.
First up, Halloween. Now remember, at night these are even better. So I will give you the general area (located in picture caption) for a night-time drive by so you can test my judgement.
Christmas should be fun. Need a prize to offer… Happy Halloween everyone!
