My House For The Holidays

Welcome to my House for the Holidays. I finally got my film back from CVS Photo Shop. I had everything done already last weekend, but waited for the Photo Shop to get something fixed in their machine. This year the theme was gold. The Study is the one that sets the theme. All of the presents are done in gold. Tree done in gold. And the whole room is done that a way. So come by and enjoy. Maybe have a cup of coffee and cake.
Double click on the pictures to see everything you want to see a bit better. Thanks

    Too much gold. Surprisingly tacky. I'm more concerned with why you feel the need to share these "look at all my stuff" photos with your readers. I think it reveals a desperate need for attention on your part, and possibly a bit of narcissism as well.

    Love it Ray! It really crates a festive mood and I don't think there is too much contrary to what some people might think. I must admit, I'm just too lazy to decorate. And even though I'm not much the happy jolly Christmas fanatic, I do enjoy this time of the year when our friends and (extended) family gather together to enjoy some good time (hopefully!).

    Now the only thing missing is the SNOW! LOL!

    Hope Sadie Mae isn't going crazy with all this though... You know how dogs tend to take Christmas ornaments for toys!!! ;)
    Hugs

    Carol, Thank you.
    Deep Blue I enjoy decorating and wanted to share it with you guys Like I do every year. No Sadie Mae does not play with any part of the tree.

    Anonymous First of all this is my blog, and if you read the header.. I enjoy decorating and showing my freinds my decorations. I am sorry that you feel the way you do, and you are intitle to your feelings...But I did it to show people how I enjoy the season. Yea I may bit narcissism on my part, by saying look at Christmas at my house, but since I can not go over to England, France, South Afirca, Canada. Up USA North. Or the east coast/ west coast and look at what every did/ does to their place. That I have becomes freind with. I wanted to share my pictures with everyone as I have done since starting this blog. Once again I feel sorry for you and your thinking. It must be lonely never to share anything with anyone.

    Ray

    Nicely done Ray, you've been a busy Santa's helper! Wonder what he's going to leave under your tree? We do themed rooms as well. Come on, we're gay and we know how to decorate, why not put it to good use. And Christmas is the perfect time of year to show it off!!

    Looks great. Ummmm where did you hang the mistletoe?

    Your clock reminds me of Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast.

    OMG - you're way ahead of me ... but then, I'm not that into X-Mas. In fact, I wish the whole thing was behind us already!!! But your house does look impressive, to be sure!

    Its a lovely house [and I speak as one who has a nice big boudoir himself]. I havent hung any decorations yet [the only thing hung is me!]. The outside of your house is fabulous, like something out of The Colby's.
    Ignore the jealous comment above - we work hard all year and are entitled to be glamourous, fashionable and above all, US!

    You have a touch of class without going over the top. It is lovely.

    To anonymous I say: get your own blog since you are too lazy to do it and stop hiding behind anonymity...give a face, a name and an e-mail address...man up. You are probably just jealous because you see some opulence and prosperity.
    Chances are you don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of...and I can almost sense you are either a Republican or a Teabagger or both.

    Ray, I never ceased to be amazed by people. An anonymous commenter feels free to tell you how you should or shouldn't decorate for Christmas and on top of that has the unmitigated gall to psychoanalyze you too based on your posting the pictures of your home.

    My question is, what does such an anonymous post have to say about the anonymous commenter? Not too much good in my opinion.

    I think the house looks great and I'm sure you'll enjoy your Christmas. Best wishes and bah humbug to Anonymous.

    Ray, your home is magnificent, any time of the year.
    With the Christmas decorations, it is absolutely beautiful. Just the right touches, everywhere. Very tasteful. And I absolutely love it.
    Merry Christmas to you, Bud! And to Sadie Mae as well!!

    That's a beautiful home,Ray.... although why would anyone expect anything other than a heartwarming manifestation of who you are?!
