Our own Nick Schriver, CLVLT, founder of Decorating Elves in Tampa, Fla., was recently featured in a story on holiday lighting in The New York Times.
Schriver talks about the growing trend of homeowners who are paying for services—anything from mowing the lawn or picking up their dry cleaning to hiring someone to put up holiday lights.
