Every year I wait in anticipation for Christmas. Its just gratifying to watch our beautiful Christmas tree,” said Renderos about her reason for decorating.

“All the childhood memories I had of Christmas is what inspires me,” said Renderos when asked about her inspirations.

“Sometimes it takes us a week or sometimes it takes a month,” answered Renderos when asked about how long it takes to set up the house.

“Some we give away some, we recycle and we throw out the broken ones and the really special ones are kept for every year because those are heirlooms to our family,” said Renderos.

“The star for our Christmas tree is by far my favorite, it’s a crystal and it shines with the Christmas lights and the oldest would be the snowman plushie with a green hat that accompanies the tree.”

“Yes, very much so I like sharing it on Facebook for the rest of the world to see our beautiful Christmas tree every year and to see others do the same,”said Renderos on how she likes to share her decorations.
