Brag About Those Decorations

Tue., Dec. 10, 1996

‘Tis the season to celebrate Christmas, and many of us enjoy decorating our front yards and homes with Jesus, Mary and Wise Men, Santas, reindeer and a sleigh, and an untold number of lights.

We’d like to find out where all these decorations are so people in the region can map out a route for a fun nighttime drive.

Please tell us about your neighbors’ decorations, yours or any house you see that others would also enjoy. We’re planning to publish a list on Dec. 20, so let us know by Dec. 16.

Please call our Cityline service and leave a brief description about the decorations, the home’s address or street and block number, and your name and phone number.

A touch-tone phone is required. In Eastern Washington, call (509) 458-8800 and enter category 9897. In North Idaho call (208) 765-8811, category 9897. Cityline is free, but normal charges apply to longdistance calls.
