The historic Manahan House has been beautifully decorated for Christmas.
Back in the day, visitors to the Manahan House in Fairfield, Texas would first be shown to the Drawing Room until the owner of the home was able to step away to entertain.
The trees are reminiscent of Victorian times, with edible dried fruit, candies in wrappers, cookies, nuts, and strands of popcorn hanging on the branches.
Doorways and mantels are dressed in historic Williamsburg style, utilizing traditional evergreens – cedar, pine, magnolia — and dried berries of the area.
Take a deep breath and smell the fresh fruits such as pineapple, pears, pomegranates, and crisp apples incorporated in all the decorations.
Homeowner Leslie Freeman credits Jonathan Lawlor for the fabulous work in decorating for Christmas.
The Manahan home has been in family for five generations, and the tradition will continue for generations to come.
