Interesting photos! Makes me miss the holidays already!

Yeah, I'm a total cultural Christian. Love the decorations and celebrations. The frosted holly leaves photo is my favorite.

[Biggus Dickus]

Nice pictures,...I especially enjoy picture # 12.

This has to be a Hermes photo...I would bet money on it! In particular it's a nice layout. The beautifully decorated tree, the large assortment of gifts strewn around it, as well as the chaise lounge in the foreground, and then the open window to the street outside (Looks warm).

I also really like the Bulls Head which is on display to the left of the tree. That looks old, is it?

Well, I will take what you said as a great compliment, but for now I will not comfirm or deny responsibility for the photo. I am sure whoever took it will give us some background info when the names are revealed.

When all is revealed, I must know about the holiday that involved picture 4.

Welp, it seems the voting results confirm there are quite a few favourites.

Surely you are familiar with the Christmas Crocodile Story?!




When Alice Jayne finds a crocodile under the tree on Christmas Eve, her family goes into an uproar! The Christmas Crocodile doesn't mean to be bad, not really, but soon he is eating up Christmas—from the dinner roast to the left stove-top burner...even the Christmas tree! Everyone has an opinion about what to do with him. Uncle Theodore suggests they send him to Africa, Father recommends the zoo, and Aunt Figgy mentions an orphanage. But Alice Jayne thinks the Christmas Crocodile deserves a real family. Can she find him a new home? And will she and the family survive till Christmas morning, with that naughty crocodile gobbling up everything in sight?

Why there's even a song!!

I don't recall if anybody has had first and second place before. But then I have problems remembering what day it is sometimes

Once again, thank you for the nice words. I can now confirm that it is indeed my photo, but not my house. It is my daughter's house. My taste is much more for Bauhaus and mid-century modern interiors. That window faces the swimming pool where my concrete reclining nude sculpture is installed. The bull's head is an antique — not sure where she got it. The painting behind it, with a bit of red showing, is one I painted just before she was born.
