Five homeowners in Hays will open their doors — decked out with boughs and holly and much more — to the public this holiday season.

After a seven-year hiatus, the Christmas Home Tours sponsored by Thomas More Prep-Marian’s Parents, Teachers and Friends group are returning this Dec. 7, from 1 to 5 p.m.

According to PTF co-presidents Michelle Rounsley and Wendy Richmeier, the five houses will each be decorated with unique holiday themes, ranging from the importance of family to Christmas trees.

“There has been a lot of interest in bringing the TMP fundraiser back,” Richmeier said. “We do not expect to make millions, the PTF is a just trying to broaden what we do, to be more visible in the community and let the community know we appreciate their support.”

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at Bank of Hays,1000 W. 27th,  Golden Belt Bank, 1101 E. 27th, and Kuhn’s Diamond Jewelers, 1009 Main.

Proceeds will benefit TMP-PTF school and community projects.
