My decor is typically Olde World... and sometimes I will do and redo things over and over until I feel satisfied with the finished product...
I love to utilize my Mr. and Mrs. Fox, but the total look of the mantel never rang true so this didnt last long
Every other year the tree has been in the SW corner of the parlor, but it was moved this year..

Sometimes the angels enjoy being center stage in the dining room, but not this year!

One thing that will always be accomplished from year to year is the warm glow of fairy lights throughout the house

whether in the inner rooms, or the outer room!

IN 2011 The mantel looked like this

The far side of the room hosted the breakfront with this vignette

Sometimes the dining room looks like this..

and that same year the mantel..

and the Fox couple hosted the dining room!

I really liked the houses on the mantel, but, alas, I cant find them this year... Hubby put them away in a really (good) place it seems!
And I am partial to the hutch like this,,, it isnt there yet, but soon!
and the sunroom like this...

So how is it this year... the tree is near the far wall
A smaller Christmas village decks the mantel
and that corner is the only part of the parlor that is what I would consider finis!
As I wrote in another post,,, I am way behind in things around the house. But I have many ideas rolling about in like marbles in my head!

last year the carolers found a home on the piano, but not this year!
