About this event
It is tradition in many families to celebrate the Christmas holidays by decorating their houses inside and out and inviting visitors to see their holiday décor. Some houses are so spectacular that they have been featured in the New York Times and the Baltimore Sun over the years (see below for links to these). One of these is the residence of TVIH member, Mary Ellen Shaeffer in Ellicott City. Since 1968 she has been opening her display of handmade items to visitors. Mary Ellen is extending an invitation to a TVIH Open House on December 29, 2021 from 2 to 6pm.
Register for the program and the address will be sent to you. Please note that masks are required.
