Greenery

It was fun to make our wreath and arrange our urns for Christmas. Feathers and pomegranates spoke to me this year. Boxwood is always my favorite. Having a festive entrance sets the tone for the season.

White House Christmas 2015

The White House is a fascinating place and I love seeing all the Christmas decorations each year. Here are some photos I've gathered from various sources. To enjoy the full tour and background on all the decorations tune into HGTV on Sunday, December 13th at 6pm.

My favorite are these snowflakes. Photo from Michele Obama's Instagram

Christmas trees

The idea of having Christmas trees in more than one room has always appealed to me.  Here are some beautiful trees in different rooms to celebrate the season.
