Christmas Decor Lights Up Homes and Hearts of Military Families

DALLAS, TX – PRNewswire

Christmas Decor has launched its sixteenth consecutive Decorated Family Program to transform the homes of servicemen and woman into magical winter wonderlands this holiday season. With more than 450,000 American men and women deployed overseas, the program is designed to boost spirits and spread cheer for military families across the nation who have to spend the holidays separated from their loved ones.

Now a seasonal tradition, hundreds of Christmas Decor franchisees nationwide participate by donating products, resources, and time to decorate the homes of local military families with lights, garland, ornaments, and other trimmings. Following the decorating process, each decked out home is revealed during a surprise ceremony with family, friends and the community.

“Even after 16 years of surprising deserving families, each reveal moment is as special and heartwarming as the last,” stated Brandon Stephens, president of Christmas Decor. “We know the holidays can be hard on families who have loved ones serving overseas, so we think it’s important to make the holiday a little brighter. We are excited to hear from families and friends across the nation and look forward to another successful year of the Decorated Family Program.”

Community members are encouraged to nominate deserving military families by completing the Decorated Family submission form available on the Christmas Decor Facebook Page. This form provides a place to share the family’s story and explain why they should become a “Christmas Decor Decorated Family.” Winners will be awarded based on the impact the story has on the judges, as well as location to ensure there is a local franchise to provide the services. The company seeks to attract hundreds of nominations that will result in beautifully decorated homes for the 2018 holiday season. The deadline for nominations is on Veterans Day, November 11, 2018.

“The community’s outpouring support was overwhelming – over 150 residents that stood in the freezing cold temperatures to welcome the Mason family,” said Libby Corbo, who nominated the Mason family in 2017. “They lined the yard and street to cheer, clap and thank the family. Dick Ficco and the Christmas Decor team did a fantastic job and the community response brought tears to my eyes – it’s just an incredible example of what makes Hanover [our community] great.”

Operating in more than 300 markets and 49 states, Christmas Decor, Inc. is the largest professional holiday and event decorating franchise. The company offers complete decorating service programs including unique display design, installation, maintenance, and removal of holiday lighting and decorations – alleviating decorating stress while delivering the look customers want.
