On Nov. 20 & 21, the United Way of Milton will host “A Town & Country Christmas House Tour.” This is your chance to see six Milton houses decorated for Christmas by professionals.
If last year’s tour is anything to go by, the houses will be amazing. Not every style may be your taste, but the variety and lavishness of the decorating is what makes these tours so interesting. You just might pick up a wildly creative idea or two that you can use in your own home.
On Fri. Nov. 20, the tour is by bus because it includes a pre-tour dinner and wine and snacks after the tour. It sounds like a wonderful party on wheels for $70. Plus the houses will be all lit up in the dark hours.
The Sat. Nov. 21 tour is self guided and costs $25. You can visit the homes in any order, at any time.
The tour is a fundraiser for the United Way of Milton, so you’re supporting a good cause with your good time. Tickets are available at 905 875 2550 or campaign@miltonunitedway.ca.
If you’d like to see what the homes were like on last year’s tour, look for the Winter issue, coming out around Dec. 1. We visited the homes on Milton’s tour as well as the one mansion on the Halton Hills’ tour, and Mike took plenty of photos. We tried to capture some of the fabulous scenes displayed there. I can only say that it must be nice to live like that over Christmas.
Does your community hold Christmas house tours? If you go on them, why do you? What do you get out of them?
