House Beautiful Christmas
If Christmas makesyourhouse look great, just think  what it does for the country houses of the Manhattan elite and the  Colonial mansions of the Williamsburg landed gentry. You can sink into  a book like this one and stay there for hours, imagining how you'd do  Christmas if you won the lottery. It features tastemakers who have just  a smidge moreje ne sais quois(and a lot more dishes) than the  rest of us, and decorate, entertain, and celebrate in massive style.  You'll look at the photos and think, "Yes, thatishow I'd  decorate the traditional kiva fireplace in the master bedroom  suite." Loaded down with gorgeous photographs on nearly every  page, this book is perfect both for those who can't afford to emulate  itandthose who can.
