Barbara,

Candlelight House tour at this time of the year sounds like a fun and familiy oriented event. My wife and I worked at one of these home tours a few years back and it was a lot of fun. I hope they a large turnout.

Toni -- The church has been running this for years now. It's a very popular event and really kicks off the holidays in December as it always runs the first weekend.

George -- You are too funny....

Bob -- I hope so, too. It really is fun to see how creative others are with holiday decorations.

Peggy -- I am very much looking foward to it!

Bill -- After seeing all these houses dressed to the nines, you can't help but be in the holiday spirit!

Joan -- Good one! Yes, this event really does kick off the holidays around here. It's been an ongoing event for about 20 years.

Larry & Sheila -- It's a great way to get into the spirit but to also be inspired by the creativity of the homeowners.
