If your invitation to the Obama’s Christmas Party got lost in the mail, here’s your chance to take a Christmas House tour of  1600 Pennsylvania Avenue – the White House.  Check out the White House decorated for Christmas 2012!  Source:  HGTV

A table top Christmas tree sits in front of a window in a room at the White House for Christmas 2012 to be enjoyed by President Obama and his family. Its lovely to see the White House decorated for Christmas.

The Obama’s love their dog Bo, who joined their family shortly after they moved into the White House.  Their Christmas decor for 2012 includes not just one but SIX hand-made decorative replicas of Bo! If you were to be so lucky as to go for a stroll through the White House this Christmas, you’d never know where Bo would turn up.  Incorporating Bo into their Christmas decor shows the Obama’s love their their furry family member, and their sense of whimsy and humor.  This version of Bo, shown above,  is crafted from plastic pom-poms!

The intimate family dining room at the White House where just the family gathers. The Obamas have been criticized by the opposing party this year for putting up too many Christmas trees, however, there are only a few more than the Bush’s typically had when they were in the White House.

The festive front entry way decorated for Christmas with a Victorian Kissing Ball made from evergreen sprigs; a pretty red ribbon dangles from the bottom. Very festive, very romantic!

Christmas wreaths are suspended on red ribbons in the windows of this beautiful sun lit corridor which the president walks through several times each day. Classic, elegant Christmas  window decorations.

A “cranberry urn” on a console table is part of the Christmas decor in a room at the  White House.

 Bo sits in front of some Christmas table decorations at the White House, including one of six eco-friendly replica’s of him, made from re-purposed materials.  He’s one good looking dog!

Colorful Christmas Tree Decor packs a powerful visual punch, especially when you combine purple, pink and blue (with gold accents). What a striking color combination, and it looks fabulous on a Christmas Tree.

The gold accents are really essential. They add that necessary bit of glam that really makes this look pop. We love the way the toss pillows on the sofa coordinate with the Christmas tree decorations so perfectly.

The candle arrangement on the cocktail table is so pretty and such a perfect match for the tree. A silver and gray feather weather encircles three candles –  two ivory pillar candles of differing heights and a shorter gold pear shaped candle. A few pine cones are lightly sprayed gold and added around the wreath for festive embellishment, along with some elongated decorative glittered gold leaves.

Then pink and purple glass balls are positioned around the wreath for that powerful punch of color.

And for the perfect Christmas Tree topper – purple, blue and gold feathers spraying up from the top of the tree.

This color combination has definite feel good factor. Makes you want to steal this Christmas tree decor idea for your tree, doesn’t it?

A Christmas wreath decorated with green apples from Good Housekeeping.  Make it:  Purchase a 16-inch grapevine wreath and ornamental green apples. Use a hot glue gun to affix the apples, spacing them equally around the ring. Select an assortment of seasonal greens and pinecones, and whatever else strikes your fancy, and weave them into the grapevine, filling in the areas between the apples. Greenery can be faux or fresh.

Two Piece Christmas Wreath

For something really new and unique, try a Two-Piece Christmas Wreath to decorate a double-front door this holiday season. Do It Yourself:  Use a wreath with a sturdy base so it holds its shape. Fresh evergreen was used here, but a grapevine wreath will work just as well. Cut the wreath in half lengthwise with sturdy wire clippers. Use florist wire to attach evergreen clippings, fruits, and ribbons. Securely hang one half of the wreath on each door so the two meet in the center when the doors are closed. Very, very cool.
