A contest sponsored by The Camrose Booster and Re/MAX challenged Camrose homeowners to decorate the exterior of their home in a way that would capture the wonder of Christmas. We invited our readers to share addresses of homes which would provide joy for others as a result of masterful placement of lights and other means of enhancement for the festive season. On the evening of Wednesday, December 12 a team of five adult judges travelled the residential streets of Camrose in search of the home which, through their collective eyes, stood out above the rest.

Owned and decorated by Andrew and Laurie Little, the extensive decorating (inside and out) is a reflection of their passion for this joyous and celebrated time of year. This labour of love took the couple two full weekends. In the light of day, this home symbolically spells out ‘Merry Christmas’ with large, bright red bows and strands of spruce garland carefully installed on each of the home’s distinctive, original windows. In the darkness of night the property comes alive with decorated spruce trees, a beautifully lit trellis, and a multitude of glowing and dancing lights that span both levels/three To Rural Homes sides of the historic home plus the detached garage. Unique decorations have been tastefully hung With Booster with care off of the front veranda, in addition to being strategically placed around the private yard. The second story balcony on the rear of the home has been equally beautifully decorated for viewing pleasure. One of the judges summed up the home’s Christmas charm perfectly, ✔ “It’s a home that’s been done up perfectly, yet it’s not overdone!”
