Getting into the holiday swing of things is no problem for Chris Brumley and his Lake Highlands staff.

Now in their 22nd year of business, Brumley Gardens recently hosted a festive celebration at their location on Plano Road.

Hundreds of neighbors and loyal fans turned out for the weekend gathering.

Friendly bartenders offered an assortment of beverages, while an abundance of sweet treats, courtesy of Eat the World, were laid out and gobbled up by shoppers.

Guests were treated to holiday entertainment by the Lake Highlands High School Orchestra, and later by the hand clapping country sounds of Dallasite Jolie Holliday and local guitarist Jerry Matheny.

The theme of this years Holiday Party was "Movement," and thanks to the team's hard work it was played out in every square inch of the store.

There were over a dozen themed trees that included snowmen, angels, birds and nature, nutcrackers, western motif, food and even fish!

Standard at Brumley parties, workshops were also offered.

They included vegetable container gardening, smart spring landscaping, and a timely instructional about decorating a Christmas mantel.

"We're trying to do more in-depth workshops," said Chris.

"To give folks information on how to decorate, particularly with a variety of themes."

Local artists displayed outdoor paintings and handmade birdhouses, clocks and outdoor furniture.

The Protective Animal League, which attends Brumley's party each year, was also on hand to offer help with pet adoptions.

Door prizes and goodie bags delighted customers as much as the festive decorations and beautiful garden ware.

Simply put, it was another great neighborhood party.
