Santa Claus’s Real Estate Is Booming
Nancy Schwab loves Christmas. Really, really loves Christmas. “I have Santa collections from when I was little,” said Ms. Schwab, 62, a retired school administrator. Thus, it became a source of annual annoyance that decking the house with boughs of holly (and twinkly lights) was frowned upon in her Joliet, Ill., neighborhood until Thanksgiving had come and gone. Almost two years ago, Ms. Schwab and her husband, Robert, a retired carpenter and contractor, began to contemplate relocating to a place with a vastly different feel. “We started researching, and Santa Claus, Ind., came up,” Ms. Schwab said of the town in the southern part of the Hoosier state that bills…

Home landscapes ideal for finding holiday greenery
I am a holiday decoration junkie. In our home last December, there were no fewer than 11 trees of various sizes, nearly two dozen different nativities from around the world, several holiday plants and many other assorted holiday decorations.

The good news is that if you are looking for some new ideas for holiday decorations this year, look no further than your own backyard or your local garden…
