Christmas Decor seeks decorated family nominees by Nov. 11

Nominations are now open for Christmas Decor's 2022 Decorated Family Program.

This is the 20th anniversary year for this program designed to help bring the spirit of the holidays to life for hundreds of deserving active-duty service members and their families throughout the United States. Each year, friends and neighbors nationwide nominate deserving military families whose loved ones will be deployed outside the country for the holiday season to receive a free holiday home decorating experience.

Participating franchisees like Christmas Decor by G.M.G. Inc. donate products, resources, time and expertise to create holiday magic for winning nominees, crafting glowing tributes to the service and sacrifice of the nation's active-duty military in communities across the country.

"This year, between 160,000 and 180,000 active-duty military personnel deployed outside the United States will be separated from their loved ones during the holiday season," said Mike Gray of Christmas Decor by G.M.G. Inc. "The Decorated Family Program allows us to honor those who serve while creating a shining holiday memory for both the service member and his or her family."

Gray encourages Lewes-area residents to nominate the family of a deployed, active-duty service person to be a Christmas Decor Decorated Family for 2022. Go to Christmas Decor's Facebook page, click on the Decorated Family Program link, and tell Christmas Decor why the nominee deserves to be selected for this distinction. Christmas Decor corporate will review all the shared stories and select from the nominated families in each community. Decorated Families will be chosen based on the impact of their story on the judges.
