But what a Tour it was!! Records were broken in the number of tickets sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of history, the Tour this year was held in the historic town of Verbena, Alabama. The tour included the homes of Pat Barefield, Vivian &amp; Dalvin Johnson, Elaine &amp; Arnold McDaniel,  Janine &amp; Chris Speaks and Verbena United Methodist Church.  Each of these locations has its own piece of Verbena history. Many guests had grown up in the area or had relatives in Verbena. Other guests were most interested in seeing the homeowners\u2019 various decorating styles. Each house and the Church had its own style of decoration, each unique and beautiful. Guests surely gained great ideas for their own seasonal  decorating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CCMGA is grateful to the people of Verbena for the excitement and exceptional cooperation displayed. With every Christmas Home Tour, one of the best parts is the new friendships we establish. This year was no different! Thanks to all the Master Gardeners, the homeowners, and Verbena United Methodist Church for making this event such a great success!<br> Article by Alice Broome<br> Photos by Audrey Giles<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/623D824D-2EA5-4E82-8E1B-1B1C1041B862.jpeg\" alt=\"MG hostesses at Pat Barefield home for 2019 Christmas Home Tour\" class=\"wp-image-18937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/623D824D-2EA5-4E82-8E1B-1B1C1041B862.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/623D824D-2EA5-4E82-8E1B-1B1C1041B862-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/623D824D-2EA5-4E82-8E1B-1B1C1041B862-275x275.jpeg 275w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/623D824D-2EA5-4E82-8E1B-1B1C1041B862-350x350.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/623D824D-2EA5-4E82-8E1B-1B1C1041B862-250x250.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/5C59AFF5-9769-495F-863A-F102A1EF3F87.jpeg\" alt=\"Hostesses and parking attendants at Johnson Home 2019 Christmas Home Tour\" class=\"wp-image-18942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/5C59AFF5-9769-495F-863A-F102A1EF3F87.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/5C59AFF5-9769-495F-863A-F102A1EF3F87-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/5C59AFF5-9769-495F-863A-F102A1EF3F87-275x275.jpeg 275w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/5C59AFF5-9769-495F-863A-F102A1EF3F87-350x350.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/5C59AFF5-9769-495F-863A-F102A1EF3F87-250x250.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"1360\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/1E3567AD-26CE-4ABD-A295-6AE9790A9D3F.jpeg\" alt=\"MG hostesses and parking attendants at McDaniels Home 2019 Christmas Home Tour\" class=\"wp-image-18943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/1E3567AD-26CE-4ABD-A295-6AE9790A9D3F.jpeg 1360w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/1E3567AD-26CE-4ABD-A295-6AE9790A9D3F-106x150.jpeg 106w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/1E3567AD-26CE-4ABD-A295-6AE9790A9D3F-195x275.jpeg 195w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/1E3567AD-26CE-4ABD-A295-6AE9790A9D3F-248x350.jpeg 248w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/1E3567AD-26CE-4ABD-A295-6AE9790A9D3F-250x353.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1360px) 100vw, 1360px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"1360\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/C661D1F1-3F9B-4694-AAC2-933D999F5431.jpeg\" alt=\"MG hostesses and parking attendants at Chris Speaks Home 2019 Christmas Home Tour\" class=\"wp-image-18940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/C661D1F1-3F9B-4694-AAC2-933D999F5431.jpeg 1360w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/C661D1F1-3F9B-4694-AAC2-933D999F5431-106x150.jpeg 106w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/C661D1F1-3F9B-4694-AAC2-933D999F5431-195x275.jpeg 195w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/C661D1F1-3F9B-4694-AAC2-933D999F5431-248x350.jpeg 248w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/C661D1F1-3F9B-4694-AAC2-933D999F5431-250x353.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1360px) 100vw, 1360px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"1360\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/12\/1E6D6031-484F-473A-8955-34AAD677B610.jpeg\" alt=\"Master Gardener hostesses at Verbena U.
