Holiday season is here—and for many homeowners, that means adding festive decorations to our homes—both inside and for our outdoor spaces. Around Tulsa, it’s not hard to see the beautiful extravaganzas everyone loves to show off at this special time of year. After all, everything from houses and businesses to restaurants, shops, and landscaping are decked out with gorgeous Christmas lights that make this season magical.
