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!
Gorgeous! I love each and every picture, she sure knows how to deck the halls!
Please thank your sister for allowing us into her lovely Christmas home! I can’t imagine setting up all those trees but I love each and everyone. The most I have done is two. But, again, what a beautiful home and what a wonderful way to spend my morning touring it. Merry Christmas!

Lots of great ideas, thanks for sharing your sister’s house! You both definately have “decorator genes!” This is my favorite time of the year and it’s wonderful now to tour my blog favorites’ homes…
Everything looks magical. Thank you to you and your sister for sharing her home with us. I love it all.
Your sister’s house looks gorgeous, Rhoda! I love her black hutch and it does look like the perfect spot for the village houses. I did more than one tree for the very first time this year. I could see moving them around from year to year. Right now I have one in the entry foyer and one near my living room window. Looking forward to the linky party! I”ve been taking pictures to try and get the best time of day and lighting ~ I’ve erased more than I’ve saved!
WOW!!!!
What a beautiful home and the decorations are spectacular! I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, thanks for sharing Rhoda.
How gorgeous your sister’s Christmas decorations are. Thanks to you both for sharing. I’ve missed you Rhoda and hope to be back to blogland on a more regular basis in the new year. ♥
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful! How do you guys hide all the wires for the lights?
WOW that is the most gorgeous display of decorations I think I have ever seen. How wonderful that she loves Christmas and it definitely shows!!♥
Gorgeous … something to aspire to! I have the same question that someone up there had too …. how does she light up all of the decorations? Are they all plugged in? Or are there ways to do this without a plug? Several of the best spots in my house don’t have an outlet nearby even though I would love to have those areas lit up.
Not sure what my house is going to look like this year … most of our decorations go in the family room and we are in the middle of stripping wallpaper and painting right now so I am putting that off. Timing wasn’t good on that project! 🙂
OH MY!!!! It’s like a Christmas SHOPPE!!!! I love everything! Beautiful! Tell your sis I said WELL DONE! I love the candy tree especially!
Your sister really knows how to decorate a tree! Probably the best I have seen on any blog. (she must have a really big storage area!)…Great job! Cant wait to see what you have done.
ABSOLUTELY beautiful! Sister…well done! I’m impressed, to say the least.
Merry Christmas!!
Your sister’s house is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it and thank her for sharing it with us. I have a Boston Terrier too…Bullet!
Wow, wow!! Just gorgeous!! Every part! It’s a Christmas wonderland, how magical. 🙂
WOW! Such a talented family! I cannot imagine how long it takes her to put this up and take it down! I complain about having to put up just one tree let alone this many decorations! Amazing and beautiful!
Wow!
This is a Christmas Wonderland!
How lovely that you and your sister share in this decorating passion!
My sister lives in Montgomery and decorates for all seasons with this sort of gifted passion.
People don’t decorate here in the Northwest quite like they do in the South. It’s a different style…and I love it too!
Delighted I have my sister’s home to enjoy!
XXOOXX
Your sister’s home it lovely!
How wonderful if you live near one another!
Gorgeous! I’d be hardpressed to pick a favorite. It’s all very lovely. She must be incredibly organized and structured in the way she stores all of it. I’d be overwhelmed wondering where to put everything.
Your sister’s home looks prettier than any Christmas spread that I have ever seen in a magazine! You are both so very talented.
