I'm pretty mad about marzipan myself.

And yes, Mike's & Ray's house is lovely! It looks so clean and stylish - like a pottery barn catalog. I really love it. I'm a bit of a clutterbug, myself, and tend to be interior decorating challenged. As long as I have loads of bookshelves, though, I'm happy.
Here are some more holiday pics to add to our thread. These are at my mom’s home in Florida, so she did the decorating. At our home in Virginia I basically just threw a wreath on the door before we left for Florida. I got off easy.

I don’t have many photos in which people’s eyes aren’t red, or closed, or crossed.
Here’s the tree. All silver this year, with white stuff sprayed on to look like snow. It was a bit brighter than the pic shows…

Here’s our table on Christmas Eve. My mother enjoys her red Christmas roses and likes to make everything dressy-uppy…

Here’s my mother. I think she has chocolate on the corner of her mouth.


Here I am with my dog, who looks like she’s more interested in something else that’s going on, probably food related…

Here’s my husband (on the right) and a friend. I think dinner was almost over. We had drunk and eaten a lot, so we were ready to get up and move around. It was warm on Christmas Eve, but we had had some very cool weather prior to that.

We had roast goose (two gooses, that is, I mean geese!) this year. Here is another friend doing the carving…
