Lou also loves to decorate for Christmas- nothing fancy just fun and festive!

This Victorian Style home was completed in 1920. This beautiful one-story brick house has a hip roof and is supported by square masonry. It is told that the historic 1919 tornado destroyed buildings in downtown Eufaula and this home was built with those bricks. The Gray home is decorated for Christmas with cherished ornaments from family trips that deck their trees. Elizabeth also collects Christopher Radko ornaments. This home will be a showstopper with Christmas décor.

148 Anderson Drive

Sheila and James Stinson built their beautiful brick home in Eufaula in 2007.  Christmas has always been the season we love most, and our tree reflects a lifetime of memories. For 45 years, we’ve collected ornaments—some handmade by our children and grandchildren, others picked up on family vacations, and many gifted by friends. Each one tells a story, and every year we add a new piece to continue the tradition.

Our most treasured display, though, is the vintage blow mold Nativity Scene. My sister began the collection years ago, and when she went to be with Jesus, her beloved Nativity found a new home in our yard. In her honor, we’ve continued adding vintage pieces, and it has become the heart of our Christmas celebration. Each December, we take joy and pride in sharing it with neighbors and visitors, a glowing reminder of family, faith, and the true meaning of the season.
