Here is Christmas decorating, history, architecture, and interior design wrapped in one sparkling package. More than 300 gorgeous images provide a leisurely look at historic house interiors magically decorated for Christmas. Begin with the foreword by Christopher Radko, famed re-creator of vintage Christmas ornaments. Tour historic holiday homes from Filoli to Colonial Williamsburg and look inside San Antonio's most beautiful house-the Spanish Governor's Palace. Nearby in Midland, Texas, is the ranch-style childhood home of the Bushes-two future US presidents, a first lady, and two state governors. There is something for everyone, from the modest dwelling of Canadian WW I flying ace Billy Bishop, to the "castle" of Edsel Ford of Ford Motors fame, and decorating styles from contemporary to period correct.
