One of my favorite things to do ever is to drive around and look at houses- the styles, porches, and decorations, so when the holidays roll around I love to just wander around through the towns and look at all the houses wearing their holiday finery. I am usually drawn to the older, more interesting homes. For me, a bigger house isn't always the cutest one, nor are flashier decorations the ones that interest me. Here are some of my favorite houses- many are pretty simple, but I still consider them very festive. By the way, it's hard to inconspicuous taking a picture from the street in a red jeep!!!



The following pictures are from my neighborhood, which is a mix of older cape cods and more turn -of -the- century farmhouses, as well as some Victorian style houses.

I thought the bay window with just snowflakes was quaint (I think an elderly lady lives here)
