Both my sister and I have always had a love for Christmas and we bring out all the bling for this special Holiday. If you think that I have a lot of Christmas decor, wait til you get a load of my sister’s house. She has me beat. By a few miles. This is by far her favorite time of the year and she definitely pulls out all the stops and when you walk into her house, it’s like Christmas has exploded. So, get ready to be inspired, even if you don’t have the energy to do all of this. I don’t do quite this much either, but it’s all beautiful to look at.
I’ve been getting all my pics ready to share too, so I’ll be bringing it on from my house real soon too just in time for the Christmas home tour I’ll be hosting next Thursday, December 10th. Hope you’re going to join me! 🙂 
Coming in the front door, she has garland cascading down the staircase and lights everywhere. I think I counted 4 big trees and that’s not counting all the tabletop versions. You can see 2 right here from the front door. 
This is the foyer table all decked out in lights and Christmas cheer.
And moving into the livingroom and diningroom, her new hutch was a perfect spot for the Christmas village this year. 
I love this bowl of sparkly balls.
And the village….so pretty. She has a ton of pieces for this village and it has changed and evolved over the years, but I really like it here on the hutch. 
Don’t you?
Carolers on another piece.
And I love the lime green and red tree in here too. You know I love these colors.
This mirrored console is a new piece that she has added to the diningroom and I love it too.
My niece, Lauren’s tree is here in the living room and she has a collection of Radko and Radko copies on this one. So pretty! If I was going to start over with collecting ornaments, I might just go for the Radko look. 
Those delicate and colorful blown glass ornaments are so tempting.
Moving into the familyroom, the fireplace is all aglow. Check out the new rug she added in this room. 
And the view from the catwalk above. 
Another console table holds more lighted garland and sparkly things. 
Love the Saturday Evening Post Santa Claus, he is adorable.
The mantel all pretty and sparkly.
And the big tree in here has all Santas hanging from it. 
Garland hanging from the entertainment center.
With more Santas on the shelves.
Moving to the kitchen, the bakers rack is all decked out too. Nothing is overlooked at my sister’s house. She has been collecting all these things for years.
The candy tree in the kitchen window.
Cute train set.
And her new backsplash that got installed recently.
Moving upstairs to their master bedroom, which by the way is about the biggest bedroom I’ve ever seen. They have their own sitting room with an entertainment center and seating area. And of course, a tabletop tree in here which faces the street.
And we can’t leave out the mantel in their bedroom too, it’s lit up and pretty. So, that’s my sister’s house! Hope you enjoyed all the festivities. They love to entertain and really share all the beauty with all their friends every year. It feels so welcoming when you walk in the house.
Buster says Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Your sister’s house is stunning! I love to see how other people pull out all the stops. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, what a gorgeous home. I love her hutch too. Got me to thinking maybe my village would work on mine. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration.
Christmas hugs,
Cindy
Simply beautiful. It’s makes me hyperventilate thinking of trying to get all of that done but more power to her.
It’s gorgeous – thanks for letting us sneak a peek.
Wow! Your sister’s house rivals the holiday house you did! Two questions – where does she store all that off season and how does she have enough outlets to plug all the lighted things in?! Amazing.
Goodness gracious! It’s like a Christmas decor show house! But it all adds up to a beautiful composition. She must really love Christmas. And I bet Lauren loves coming home to all this beauty. 🙂
Stunning, simply stunning!
Wow! does not express how beautiful everything is. I love everything she has done. Can I come for Christmas and join your family, Rhoda? Your sister has exquisite taste just as you do.
You already know I love all of it!! I really like the village in the new hutch. Spectacular!! It’s all gorgeous and festive and fabulous!
I’m still plugging along. Hope to be ready for your party, next week. Not as much this year, but I do remember years when we put up many more trees.
Thanks so much for sharing your sister’s beautiful home, Rhoda!
Just beautiful! It must have taken days, if not weeks to complete. So much attention to detail and not one spot overlooked. Stunning!!
Oh my, this is incredible. I love it all. The hutch with the village is stunning as well as all the other decorations. Beautiful. Hope to see you at the “Holiday Cloche Party”. I will have Mr. Linky up tonight. Hugs, Marty

Debra
All I can say is WOW! The time it must take to display all of this and then to pack back away. It is gorgeous though!
Hi Rhoda… I’m a friend of Lauren’s and have just recently started checking out your blog. I always love seeing Lauren’s mom’s home during Christmas, definitely gets you in the spirit! Have enjoyed reading your posts!
Rhoda, your sister’s decor is spectacular.
Must be a genetic thing!
Boy, this is sure making me reconsider participating in your holiday tour. Mine will look so sparse, in comparison. 🙂
