People are decorating their homes for the holidays more than ever for the season.
Even leading up to Halloween, “Everyone decorated way more this year,” says Jillian
Griffiths, who runs Griffiths Property Management and takes care of estates from
Montauk to Bridgehampton. It’s a trend that is sure to continue through Hanukkah
and Christmas, and one that goes well beyond a few lights strung here and there
and a wreath on the door. Some clients ask Griffiths to decorate their homes, from
outdoor décor to setting up the presents and making sure the toys have batteries.
“They say, ‘We just want to walk in and be like a kid on Christmas morning ourselves,’”
she says. “If the Barbie Jeep needs the battery charged, we’ll take care of it.”
