Fort Myers Woman’s Club presents Holiday House Dec. 13 – 22

Drawing from nature’s most vibrant and rich colors, the “Colors of
Christmas” come together in a brilliant and festive kaleidoscope that
will surely delight visitors to the 63rd Annual Holiday House, presented
by the Fort Myers Woman’s Community Club.
Inspired by the artistry
of Christmas designers Christopher Radko and Jim Marvin, the historic
Langford Kingston Home and Burroughs Home and Gardens will showcase
vivid hues of emerald green, peacock blue, plum, orange, fuchsia, and
red, layered with sparkly gold and silver accents, and adorned with
iconic Shiny Brite ornaments of the 1940s and 1950s.
Every year
since 1956, hundreds of members and volunteers of the Fort Myers Woman’s
Community Club spend hours planning creative designs to transform the
interior and exterior of the Langford-Kingston and Burroughs homes,
including the lawns, gardens, and grounds, into magical displays of
holiday design and décor.
“Holiday House is a wonderful tradition
our members take great delight in sharing with our community every
year,” said Paige Anne LeBoutillier, 2019 Holiday House chair. “Every
detail of the elaborate and beautiful decorations are carefully planned
to ensure our guests are filled to brimming with the holiday spirit.
‘The Colors of Christmas’ promises to be every bit as sparkly, cheery,
and joyful as the holiday season itself.”

Holiday House 2019 will run Friday, Dec. 13, through Sunday, Dec. 22.
The hours are 5 to 9 p.m., with the last tour guests admitted at 8:30
