Ever since I was a kid Christmas decorating has been one of the funnest things for me. So I was very pleased to see an instructional contest for it!
This is something that we do year after year in my home and everybody loves it. Plus at the end of the season when all the gifts have been unwrapped, There are still several things yet to be torn open.
