Every Christmas Eve we host 25+ people, with three and four generations under one roof, and everyone has a job! Jim lights the Duraflame logs in the metal fire bowls on our driveway columns for a grand entrance, I cook, my parents chat, Jim doubles as bartender, and my son wrangles the little kids when needed (yes, it’s a lot of moving parts!) but that’s exactly why every room has to work.

These are twelve of our Christmas posts that show how, from flocked trees to porch steps to a kitchen full of wreaths. Pick the room that’s stumping you and start there!
