Decorating the Car for Christmas: HomeCoach Holiday Spirit in Houston
Key Takeaway
Every December the HomeCoach family gets into the Houston holiday spirit together, and one of our favorite traditions is decorating the car with garland and lights, secured well enough to survive the freeway.
The holidays around here are a family affair. In this little clip, C.W. Ross and Mrs. HomeCoach are out in the driveway wrapping the car in garland, sorting out where every strand goes, and laughing their way through the tangles. It is not polished and it is not perfect, and that is exactly the point.
A HomeCoach family holiday tradition
One decorates the inside of the house, the other takes the car. There is friendly back-and-forth about garland, weaving strands the right way, and whose job is whose. It is the kind of ordinary, joyful chaos that makes the season feel like the season, and it is a tradition we look forward to every year.
Getting into the Houston holiday spirit
You do not need snow to feel Christmas in Houston. From neighborhood light displays across Sugar Land, Katy, Richmond, and Missouri City to festive drives around Fort Bend County, the season shows up in the details we add ourselves. A decorated car is a small, cheerful way to carry a little of that spirit everywhere you go.
One practical tip: secure everything
If you do dress up your car this year, take a lesson from Mrs. HomeCoach and fasten everything down well. As she puts it, you do not want garland blowing loose on the freeway and causing trouble for the driver behind you. A few extra ties up front save a lot of headache later.
- Anchor garland and lights to solid points so nothing works loose at speed
- Do a quick tug-test before you pull out of the driveway
- Keep decorations clear of your view, wipers, and license plate
From all of us at HomeCoach Realty Group, we hope your season is full of the same warmth and laughter. You can learn more about our family and team, and whenever you are ready to talk Houston-area real estate, we would love to hear from you at our contact page. Happy holidays.
