Sunday afternoon, we toured several homes, decorated for Christmas, in our town.I'm featuring two of the homes as my contribution to Hooked on Houses Holiday House Tours. For more tours, click here or click on the Hooked on Houses button at the top of my sidebar, beginning Monday December 15th..
The first home was an attached villa.
The foyer was decorated with a village.
This is the room of the owner's granddaughter.
A silver and white tree in the living room.
Beneath the silver and white tree was this absolutely gorgeous hand crocheted tree skirt. A gift from a friend's mother.

This is one of several Christmas stockings, made to match the tree skirt.
Ornaments pinned to a pillow sham, in the granddaughter's room.

A view of the master bedroom.
The second house was a stand alone home, done in a contemporary style.
This pretty tree, sitting inside a wreath is in the master bedroom.
Red and gold, in the living room
This tree is in the sunroom.
These glass ornaments are in the sunroom windows. Do you see the wreaths on the fence, in the background? Early Sunday morning, we saw someone crossing our yard, walking toward the white fence at the back of the property. The fence runs behind our home and two neighboring homes. One of our neighbors is a brother to the owner of the home on tour. A last minute decision to hang wreaths, on the pool fence, found them scrambling to borrow a few from the white fence, here.
The poinsettias on the dining room table were beautiful! An unusual color with a little sparkle added.
A St Louis Cardinals tree, in the bar area of the lower level.
This St Louis Rams tree is in a guest room.

Pat, what fun that you got to go on this tour! I loved all the little special touches in both houses, and I especially love those gorgeous trees!
That crochet work is pretty amazing, too (my oldest sister does crochet), and I loved those little ornament attached to that pillow. How clever!
Thanks so much for sharing this. I've loved getting to see what people are doing in their homes for Christmas.
XO,
Sheila :-)
It was fun getting to peek into these lovely homes and see their Christmas decorations Pat. Love the Cardinals and Rams trees!!!
What pretty houses on tour. I love to see the different styles people can come up with. There is no end to the beauty of Christmas. Thanks Miss Pat for taking us along....
You folk in the USA really know how to celebrate. We have nothing like this in the UK. What a beautiful day you must have had.
What a fun tour! I love Christmas home tours, but unfortunately, most of them haven't been continued in our area. They say it is too hard to find houses. How sad for the charities they previously supported. I've never seen crocheted stockings like that - they were great. Have a good week. Sally
Both homes are beautiful. I adore the hand crocheted tree skirtin the first home. Thanks for sharing! Hugs, Terrie
It's always so much fun to peek into homes and see how others decorate - even if it isn't my style I can always learn something and always appreciate the loviness of their homes. Thanks for taking me along :).
Hugs - Karen
Those homes are very beautiful! I would love to do on of those tours. Thanks for sharing!
I love it all!
Boy, seeing these great photos, and others, is really convincing me to step it up next year. I could have done much more.
Thanks for sharing!
All Beautiful, but yours are equally impressive.
I decided to join an online house tour tomorrow also. So, if you get through your tour early and still want to see more, stop by and click on my house tour link.
Love, Dana
I just love the crocheted stocking! TFS!
Adriann

I love your tree skirt and matching stockings! Just beautiful. I wish I had the patience to learn to crochet.

Thanks!! -Julia

Hi Pat. Your post makes me want to redecorate my tree to do something different. How fun. I missed the homes tour in Macon. Don't know how but I did. We had a little sleet last night. More snow than Moberly. I left work extra early in case I had to clean off my car, but it wasn't bad at all. I just heard on the radio to expect 3-5 inches of snow tomorrow and rain tomorrow night. Sleet and freezing rain on Thursday. This is such a busy week for us I hope it ALL misses us!! Hopefully you'll miss it too.
Such nice photos of holiday decorating! Thanks Pat for the tour. Sure enjoyed it.
Brenda
Pat, that was a fun tour. It's fun to see another silver and white tree, as well as the other beautiful ones you've shown.
Just beautiful! That tree is the master is georgous! Thanks for the tour!
Lovely decor! I enjoy your blog. :)

Thanks for the Christmas Eye Candy Pat!
What a wonderful tour Pat! Thank youf or taking us all along!
But I must admit it was touring YOUR lodge that made me all giddy! How I love it!
Everytime I se you post on St. Charles I smile...I so loved going there and miss that. I often ownder if we were ever there, perhaps during their special events, at the same time. We may have even walked right by one another...: )
Love,
Sue
Enjoyed the tours. I think my favorite thing is the simple idea of small ornaments on the pillow in the girl's room. Thank you for sharing!
I really enjoyed your tours. What fun and so pretty!!!
I will definitely be copying the master bedroom tree idea. It looks great inside that wreath! Wow!
And a crocheted tree skirt? Hours upon hours were spent on that! It is stunning!
Hey Sweet Pat~
Loving all the new pictures.
You always make my Christmas
Merrier!
Hugs, Donna
Your home is so beautiful! I enjoyed my visit...Pam in Ireland
Whew, we've just finished school and are now on Christmas break...now I can blog and breathe a bit. And Pat, your blog is always so comforting and calming, so you are my first stop!
What a lovely tour, with so many decorating ideas. I love that tabletop tree in a wreath!
