We've been collecting Christmas decorations and lighting up our house for 8 years, and we're known in our neighborhood as the Longwood Acres Christmas House.  We start decorating right after we take down our Halloween display, and we enjoy hearing from our friends and neighbors who stop by while we decorate every year how much they look forward to the lights.  We've combined items from our parents, our siblings, our friends, and even donated to us by neighbors and look forward to sharing the display with others.
