The "Christmas Extrordinaire" Story

It was an ordinary day.  My wife, Carol, is putting some finishing touches to the Christmas decorations that adorn our Villa at Woodcrest Villa in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  My dear wife has just accomplished what I suspect many other people just dream about accomplishing during the Christmas Holiday Season.  Our villa has taken on a Christmas personna...so to speak, and has brought the Christmas Holiday to life.  Check out some the decorations that make the Christmas season exciting at our villa.  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
