The ALL STAR Story of the Month for December is from the Green Family of Texas.
They spent last Christmas with ALL STAR Vacation Homes and enjoyed the space and relaxation their Disney area vacation home provided.
“After driving over a thousand miles with nine kids, the last thing all 13 of us wanted to do was cram ourselves into 3 or 4 hotel rooms,” Mr. Green declared. “Even Santa found our stockings hung on the entertainment center and left presents under our decorated ficus tree!”
