Kids love the way Murray and Elsie Sherwin decorate for Christmas. In 2009, they won the
Decorate your Home for Christmas Contest. This year, the Sherwin’s love of the festive season has shone through again. Re/Max agent Rick Nygaard, and his trio of energetic, astute youth judges, proclaimed the home at 4409-65 Street to be the Camrose residence that “best put them in a mood to celebrate Christmas." It’s clear that the Sherwins treat this annual exercise as a labour of love. Thousands of LED lights, dozens of electrical cords, a multitude of power bars and a wide variety of Christmas decorating delights strategically come out of storage in late November. Then, for 3 or 4 hours each day over a period of several weeks, this devoted couple slowly, but most surely, begin the process of bringing joy to the neighbourhood and everyone who drives by their home. Over the years, as the quantity and complexity of their decorating (now complete with the sounds of Christmas music) has grown, so has the reputation of this “Christmas house”. It’s a must see! The Camrose Booster has paid Murray and Elsie $100 to help offset their December power bill. Re/Max Camrose has issued a cheque for $100 to the Sherwins favourite charity - Battle River Animal Protection Society. Thank you to everyone who decorated for the holy season. As usual, you made our city look great for Christmas.
