And then there was an additional perk with Santa Claus running
around on his Segway in front of
my home. Plus, there were other
entertaining Santas in front of other
tour homes, plus beautiful classic
cars and live musical entertainment
on route.
At the end of the tour day,
looking at my home, I was very
pleased, and could not imagine that
several hundred people had passed
through it, as my home was in perfect shape and condition.
So, all you nice Alamedans out
there, please consider offering your
home for the Holiday Home Tour. If
you do, you will find that it is well
worth your time and effort being
part of this unique tour. I’m sure
it will leave you with many good
feelings, and good memories. And
