Updated with new photography and two new projects, this book inspires readers with elegant Christmas decor from the decked-out homes of men and women who made political, business, and military history. Featured Houses (pull list from your copy – put the city and state in parenthesis) With a foreword by Christopher Radko, famed re-creator of vintage Christmas ornaments, readers will tour historic holiday homes from Filoli to Colonial Williamsburg. Peek 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. From the modest dwelling of Canadian WWI flying ace Billy Bishop to the "castle" of Edsel Ford of Ford Motors fame, there is something for everyone! 256 pp | 363 color images
