Ever wish you could get a close look at the Christmas trees and other decorations you see through your neighbors' windows? There's no longer a need to admire a few Macomb County homes from afar, thanks to an upcoming event.
The Macomb Charitable Foundation's first Christmas Walk will feature six private homes within Shelby, Macomb, Ray and Washington townships on Dec. 11, from 3 to 10 p.m. Tour-goers will have the opportunity to explore the homes and admire their beautifully decorated Christmas decorations.
"At their homes you will experience the grandeur and warmth of Christmas. From the opulent to the quaint, each home offers warmth and charm," said Shelly Penzien, president of the Macomb Charitable Foundation. Penzien's Washington Township home will be featured in the walk.
Tickets cost $50 per person and may be purchased by calling Tracy Kowalski at 586-242-0509 .
The goal of the Macomb Charitable Foundation is to alleviate the suffering of Macomb County children and their families by providing financial assistance for items like food, clothing, personal care items, rent and utility bills, vehicle repair, education assistance and more. The foundation also provides spiritual and personal mentoring.
Homeowners agreed to feature their decor for this charity event, with all proceeds going toward foundation. Some have decorated for weeks in preparation for the walk, including Macomb Township resident Sherry Brodowsky, who has put up three trees, each with a different theme.
"There are also a few small trees that are nestled in the decorations. The fireplace mantel and staircase have lots of greenery, twinkling lights and glittery ornaments. This year I have put a few more decorations up because of the Christmas Walk," Brodowsky said, adding that she's excited to offer decorating tips to those who are interested.
"I want people to enjoy the visit and also get a few decorating ideas that they can incorporate in their own home this year. I look forward to sharing my decorating how-to's with others during the walk," she said.
At another home, a Christmas tree is adorned with traditional German decorations, while yet another house features a Victorian theme. Penzien's trees are covered with wind-up toys and reminders of her daughter's September wedding.
Participants drive to each home. The houses are located between 22 Mile and 27 Mile roads, and between Shelby and Broughton roads. The ticket lists each home in proximity to each other. Guests may follow the route that is most convenient for them. Refreshments will be served along the way. Continued...
