The holidays are a fun time for people to put up decorations, and no one has more fun than the Horton family on Days of Our Lives. They have an ornament for every member of the family, and create new ones for every family member who comes out of the woodwork and wasn’t known about before. There are plenty of other kinds of Christmas decorations including food that can be made to look festive. The show recently held a cookie decorating contest and fans had fun voting on their favorite one.
