Looking for holiday decorating ideas mixed with a little social holiday fun? Join us for the annual Rossmoor Holiday Home Tour on Sunday, Dec. 8 from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. The tour features five homes decorated with traditional or modern, warm and nostalgic inviting rooms to explore.
One of the homeowners, Tom Gidden, will display a miniature Christmas village he designed with his 27 year collection of Department 56 Original Snow Village Christmas pieces while his wife, Connie, showcases two trees decorated with her 44 year collection of Hallmark ornaments, travel and grandchildren keepsakes. Another homeowner, Peggy McEachen challenges the Holiday Home Tour attendees to see how many Nativity sets they can find.
Beyond holiday décor, the tour highlights floor plan remodels the families have invested in to suit their family’s needs and lifestyle. The tourist will see an enhanced entry way, an added family room with fireplace, walk-in closet, laundry room, enlarged bedrooms, expanded kitchen, a gym, theater room, game room, wine room and man’s cave.
Ticket holders are invited to socialize with complimentary refreshments at the Tea Room anytime during the tour hours where live holiday music will be played all day. Activities included are a wreath demonstration, floral demonstration, shopping, raffle baskets, a wine pull and a visit from Santa between 2-4 p.m.
