Celebrate the Holiday Spirit in the Home Alone House

When I was young, my absolute dream house was the one in the Home Alone movies. I would draw one like it (except entirely pink, lol) in the drawings in elementary school. I still love seeing that red brick house during the holidays, even though the idea of being alone in that ginormous thing with two robbers outside is absolutely terrifying. (As you can see, I don’t do well with fear).

Airbnb debuted its Home Alone stay in December, naturally. The company pointed out that besides enjoying Christmas decorations and a perfectly-cut tree, folks would also have a chance to scream in the bathroom mirror with aftershave to their heart’s content.
