Here are just a few of the houses that caught my eye as I embarked on this mission beginning the day after Thanksgiving. Some went all out and others kept it simple and personal to their home.

For the third year in a row Missouri Baptist University is hosting the NAIA Men’s Volleyball National Championship. In addition to large live crowds at the SRC, games will be streaming on the NAIA Network and also ESPN3. The Spartans, who have won the coveted championship two years in a row, have their work cut out for them as they go for an unprecedented three straight.
