I hope that my mini tour of different homes with their Christmas decor will provide you with inspiration for traditional Christmas decor in every room.

A Traditional English Christmas

This blog post   explains all the traditions of an English Christmas, and gives a recipe for Yorkshire Pudding too!

European Christmas Decor

Looking farther afield in Europe, you can read our blog post about Old World Christmas Traditions in France and Italy too. Did you know that instead of hanging up a stocking for Santa Claus, children in France often leave shoes out by the fireplace for le Père Noël to fill?
