<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCannon, who grew up and still lives in Flat Creek, felt the Farrars\u2019 support from his earliest childhood. \u201cIt meant the world to me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who hasn\u2019t stopped to admire a Christmas tree in a storefront window with ornaments and lights sparkling, transported, and mesmerized by its elegance or theme? We tuck that memory away and pull it out along with our own decorations and tree, dreaming of re-creating that special tree. But it\u2019s never quite the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cannon now decorates homes more than businesses and brings his special touch to your holiday traditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While summer is bearing down, Cannon\u2019s calendar begins to fill up with appointments for his tree decorating services. He looks ahead at the latest holiday trends in stores and occasionally buys a tree and ornaments upon request, but he enjoys making the best of what his customers have on hand. Traditions and treasures remain but receive new life as Cannon uses old favorites in fresh ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI get excited about getting in there and getting the feel of their house that year. I know basically what the people already have. I like using what they already have in a different way each year. I do that by placing something somewhere else \u2014 something that I might have sitting on the floor or a counter might be in the tree the following year,\u201d said Cannon. \u201cI just love doing different things with the stuff they already have. Unless they truly want me to design a tree for them, I tell them to get it, and I will find a way to use it. I want to use it in a way they love even better than they thought they would.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Family stockings are always at home on the fireplace mantel, and nativity scenes return each year, although where they are placed may change. Don\u2019t worry about losing the time to reflect on memories associated with treasured ornaments. That\u2019s not lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey actually get that connection back when they see how pretty the tree is, and they can enjoy the tree more without the agony of putting it up,\u201d said Cannon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can take in Cannon\u2019s holiday style even if you\u2019re not on his calendar this year by attending his Christmas Parade of Homes from Shelbyville to Murfreesboro on Sunday, Dec. 3. What you see might inspire you to use your decorations in a new way, or you may discover a style that will find its way into your home for years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Everything comes together around the tree on Christmas morning. You pose for photos in matching pajamas, and the children play with Santa\u2019s surprises. Stockings and packages are now empty, and hearts are full. The decorations create a magical backdrop, but what matters most is you\u2019re home for the holidays.
