The home also has plenty of areas that<br />
look great decorated with a wreath. “I<br />
decorate them and Michael finds a place<br />
for them. It’s a lot of fun for both of us. We<br />
have actually asked guests to guess how<br />
many nutcrackers, wreaths, or trees during<br />
parties. So far, we have 21 nutcrackers,<br />
15 wreaths, over 50 poinsettias, and 42<br />
Christmas trees,” Deanne added.<br />
In the main areas of the home, the focal<br />
point is always a tree. “It’s the largest<br />
item and makes the greatest statement.<br />
After that, we look to connect the rest<br />
of the room to that main feature,” said<br />
Deanne. “I love to shop for all kinds of<br />
things. I always have my eyes open for<br />
unique things — usually nutcrackers. I<br />
have made or remade all of the wreaths<br />
and garland. We find things at Walmart,<br />
Sam’s, Hobby Lobby ... but my favorite<br />
thing to do is buy next year’s stuff when<br />
it gets marked down after Christmas ... I<br />
am addicted to 90 percent OFF!”<br />
