spirit this Christmas

E
very holiday is a reason to decorate and
celebrate for the Erikson family in Wayne,
but they especially go all out for Christmas.
They’re spiritual and traditional, and love
to entertain their friends and big combined
families at Christmas time. Ian is an
information technology architect and Catherine is a
project manager. Their children Brugge,10, and
Hayden,12, go to Immaculate Heart of Mary School,
and enjoy having their friends over especially during the
holidays.
With a Christmas tree in almost every room, the
Eriksons face a big decorating challenge. They make it a
family effort, but Catherine clearly has a plan in mind
and directs them every step of the way. Not much changes
year after year, but something is always added.
