Christmas in the Southern Region

 Southern Region IEAFCS Retirees met with Janet Burnett for their Christmas celebration. Janet's home was beautifully decorated. She also served a delicious lunch with some help from Carol Schlitt on the desserts. Thank you Janet and Carol!

Those attending were Lois Smith, Rusti Grogan, Martha Speir, Kathy Harrison, Ruby Lingle, Janet Burnett, Martha Winter, Joy Richey, Carol Schlitt, and Joyce Pyatt.

Happy New Year to everyone from the Southern Region!

More Decorations

Now you can understand why it takes 60-70 hours to decorate this house! There is not only a tree (or two) in every room, but a Christmas Village, and lots of other beautiful decorations.

No wonder this home has been on the Christmas Tour list! The homeowner also shares all this with community by hosting a Christmas Open House each year. Kudos to you, and thanks for the enjoyment!

Six Christmas Villages

This is the same house with the 18 Christmas trees. And there is more! Watch for that in the next few days.

O Christmas Tree

 

Would you believe that these trees are all in one house? The individual says she actually has 18, so I missed a few of them. She says it takes her 60-70 hours to decorate her house each year. Amazing!

And she has lots of Christmas villages and other items as well. Watch for more in the next few days.
