For the Holidays!

Jim King and Everett Lawson have taken Christmas decorating to the next level. They begin planning in April, the installation begins in late summer, and by Halloween, their home is an extravaganza of garland, tinsel, and over-the-top holiday joy.

Their holiday decorating began seven years ago, and it was much smaller. But every year they wanted to add to it, creating the current beautiful displays. “When we started we were just doing it because we had fun putting everything up and it made us happy to see the finished results,” Jim shared. “Now we do it because we love sharing it with people and it gives us a chance to get together with our friends and family all of December. We have gatherings all during the month from parties with friends to charity fundraisers.” This year boasts 24 trees inside and approximately 150,000 lights outside of the house. Their home is truly an outward expression of their joy for the holiday season!

Jim & Everett’s Tips for
Holiday Decorating:

Start early so you can enjoy it longer
Buy after the end of the season so you can get more for your money for the next year.
We like to find one special item for a room (a figurine or table top display) and design the colors and textures in the room around it.
Lighting is always very important.
We’ll add extra strands of lights to trees or use spotlights to highlight special areas.
We like to use double or triple layers of garland together to give a much thicker look than you can get from just one.
Make sure you fluff all the trees and garland before decorating them. It gives them a fuller, more realistic look.
