Christmas Lights & Children

As a designer for Christmas Decor, I am always trying to find ways to encourage local businesses and homeowners to have Christmas lights installed by professionals. Even if one does not hire a professional, he or she should still put some types of lights and decorations up! Christmas brings so many smiles to people's faces, especially children.

Last Friday evening, I took my family out for dinner to a small family restaurant in New Market, MD. I have 3 small children, two of which are old enough to get very excited about Christmas. As we walked in the front entrance of Mallards Restaurant, my kids noticed the well-lit Christmas tree and all the beautiful decorations. They were so excited the entire evening we were at the restaurant, and I think the Christmas tree and other lights had a lot to do with their happiness, as we had a very late dinner (close to their bedtime). They somehow got a second wind to stay up and enjoy the time!

Last night, on our way home from a church fellowship, my oldest all the way home kept saying "Look Daddy! Look! Christmas Lights! I see them, Daddy! I see them!!!! Ohhhhh!!!"

If you are a local business owner or a homeowner, please put up lights, not just a wreath or some garland. Almost every commercial center I've been to this year decided not to do lights and only a few wreaths. Wreaths do not cause kids to get excited. It is the lights that come alive and get everyone excited about Christmas! If you need help installing, we'd love to help! We've got everything you need for the perfect display.

Here are two quotes from 2008 customers that mentioned children:

"The lights look great and have had fabulous reviews from our neighbors. All the neighborhood kids love them and we do too. Thanks for taking our small order!" -The Salem Residence, Silver Spring, MD

"Very pretty. The little boy across the street said "your house looks awesome !" – Brandes, NW D.C.
