Submitted Photo Dave Holte and Shelli Hickel, who live on 20th Avenue NW in Minot, submitted these photos. “We’ve both always enjoyed decorating for Christmas as it brings special memories. The star on the garage my dad made when I was just a kid while the Nativity set on the front step belonged to Dave’s mom. This past summer we designed the Santa, Sleigh and nine reindeer that are on our roof and then Dave personally crafted each one from scratch. Our entire yard (front and back) is lit up with Christmas spirit.”
