Ann Loux:Our family of 12 spends every Christmas together. We range from ages 3 and a half years to eighty one and a half. Some want to ski, others to go sledding, make snowmen or just eat snow! Generous souls take turns cooking for the rest. This home fulfills every desire!To be sure, this house has magic powers. I’d carefully packed all my grand children’s favorite Christmas books. But then left that suitcase on the baggage carousel. Devastating, indeed, until I found Christmas Stories in the children’s bedroom. Such great favorites as “The Journey of the Magi,” “The Little Matchstick Girl,” and “The Little Drummer Boy.” Checking in and out was the simplest ever. The directions arrived promptly and were easy to follow. The three separate bedroom wings provide privacy and peace for each family. The commodious public rooms offer company and excitement. The large downstairs playroom works well for extra and wandering sleepers. And wildly cheering fos-ball players can scarcely be heard upstairs.There’s PLENTY of everything. Bedding, cots, fold-out mattresses, comforters, glasses and dishes, games for children and adults, fully-stocked fridge and kitchen cabinets. Delicious treats! Enough hot water for all three showers to function at the same time. The hot tub is yes, gloriously HOT. Fairy fumes floated over all our heads! Many times!
