Greg Parcell isn't thinking about the 50,000 lights all around him, or the computer that has them blinking to the beat of "Let it Snow" on the radio.
Instead, his mind is on what's missing as he stands in what seems the one empty spot in his front yard..........Tens of thousands of people also have found a way to skip all those hours out in the cold hanging lights -- opting to hire private companies to deck their halls for anywhere from a few hundred dollars to thousands. One such company, Texas-based Christmas Decor, has grown from 300 customers to over 32,000 in the past eight years........
Meanwhile, Greg Cornwell has nothing bad to say about Parcell's house across the street, but he's bracing for the crowds and the looks from people when he tries to get his car into his driveway.
"They think I'm trying to cut in line," he said.
Do you go crazy with Christmas Decorations? Or is it just clean and simple?
