WQOW: Eau Claire Veteran Receives A Christmas Gift That Cannot Be Wrapped

Tom McMahon, a local Eau Claire, Wisconsin veteran, was featured in an article by WQOW about a special gift that couldn’t be wrapped this year for Christmas.

McMahon, who served in the Navy, was chosen by local landscaping company Green Oasis to have his house decorated for the holidays — for free. Nominated by his son-in-law, McMahon has been unable to decorate his house due to an illness. Christmas Decor, who supplied the decorations for Mr. McMahon’s home, brings holiday cheer to over 300 communities across North America as the leading holiday decorating brand in the U.S. and Canada.

"I just wish everybody who was a veteran would be able to have this same privilege, but it's so marvelous that Tom was selected for this," said Tom’s wife Ellie McMahon. "He used to decorate, we used to have our home on the outside looking fabulous and he hasn't been able to do this in the last five, six years."

Christmas Decor has been decorating veterans homes for years, free of charge with the support of Green Oasis.
