and holiday towels and pot holders are
evident. The bathroom is ready for
holiday guests with red guest towels
and cloths and even Christmas soap
and toilet tissue.
The fireplace in the den is the focal
point of attention. The mantle holds a
nativity scene with numerous figurines.
It has twinkling lights to add to the
scene. A large basket of pine cones,
pine branches and red poinsettias
decorate the hearth along with two
giant Kalancho plants on either side.
Each doorway of the home is
decorated with bells and mistletoe and
a crocheted Santa is on each doorknob.
Red candles, bows and holly are used to
fill in at various points of the home.
Even the pot plants have been adorned
with bows.
Mrs. Drake has managed to decorate
her home to where guests can almost
feel that they have see a part of Santa's
Workshop.
The decor is not confined to the inside
of the home alone. Outside there are
wreaths on both doors and the front
porch has a mini tree on it with lights
outlining the entire front of the home. A
large nativity scene and a Santa on his
sleigh is in the front yard.
Mrs. Drake said that she uses the
same items every year but uses dif-
ferent ideas for a different decor. In
addition, she adds something each
year.
It will be a "Merry Christmas" at the
Drake home with all the holiday cheer.
