One of our traditions is to watch the movie Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase every year. Corny but funny.
In the movie, the dad, Clark Griswold, has huge expectations for the holidays. His outside light display is so massive that it short circuits half the city.
We have a neighborhood "Griswold" house that we love to drive by each year. It seems impossible, but it keeps getting bigger and tackier each time we see it. I should put a book about decluttering in the mailbox... if we could find it.
I suppose the neighbors are used to it by now. Cars are lined up each night driving by in hushed amazement.
We have a rule at our house... no plastic or inflatable decorations at all. Read the column mentioned in the section above for some great decorating ideas.

~We are planning a reunion/advanced class for all our grads. Lately, I've been unindated with requests for an advanced class or a reunion class. So, we'll do both. I miss you all!!!
It will be a Friday and Saturday class with additional speakers, probably in early April, the 13th and 14th. It will cover new streams of income, like senior move management, staging/redesigning a commercial property and facebook and social marketing... plus many more topics.
Look for more details in another special notice.
~Our Online class is one of the simplest ways to break into the staging/redesign business. Right now, you can take advantage of a
BOGO if paid by the end of the year. You and a friend can both attend in 2012 for half price. Check it out and then cut the price in half. Get details on the webpage...
