Woman transforms her entire home into a life-size gingerbread house for ChristmasSome people go all out with Christmas decorations — but Kristine Lilly of Kyle, Texas gives even the brightest light displays the sweetest competition.
Lilly's super-charged approach to decorating began in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic was raging and friends and families were separated over the holidays. Lilly herself was preparing to spend Christmas without her two children, both stationed on military bases, and without her granddaughter.
“I had just handed out Halloween candy with tongs and a mask and was wondering what Christmas was going to look like,” Lilly tells TODAY.com.
