Holiday charm

These sleepy Labrador puppies starred on Midwest Living®'s December 2009 cover. Their Zionsville, Indiana, owner shared her charming (and chewproof) decorating ideas inspired--and driven--by her pets.

Scandinavian tradition

Each December, the Gammelgarden Museum in Scandia, Minnesota, hosts a candlelit, predawn Lucia Dagen service in an 1856 log church.

Lovely layers

A sprig of winterberries tops a glass vase filled with layers of black river stones, evergreens, moss and pinecones.

Sleigh ride

Guests at Thunder Bay Resort in Hillman, Michigan, take a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the woods.

Fresh flowers wreath

This wreath, which appeared on the December 2005 cover of Midwest Living, contains an ornament vase so fresh flowers can be changed throughout the season.

Berries in snow

Tiny red berries catch falling snow in Lebanon, Ohio, creating a red-and-white holiday landscape.

Gallery reflection

A blue glass ornament reflects the interior of Seasons on St. Croix Gallery in Hudson, Wisconsin.

Milwaukee lights

Holiday lights glow at Christmas in the Ward, held annually at Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward.

Door County's Yankee roots

In winter, Door County destinations such as Fish Creek and Ephraim show their staunchly Yankee roots, with all-white austerity broken by swags of greenery and strings of lights.

Ode to Snow Wreath

White foam snowballs, soft feathers, crystalline snowflake ornaments and ice-blue ribbons reflect the cool beauty of a Midwest winter.

Flower 'presents'

Red velvet ribbon surrounds a 'present' of chartreuse 'Kermit' button mums.

Holiday memories

Snow dusts Naper Settlement in Naperville, Illinois, where a 12-acre village celebrates life in a 19th-century Midwestern town.

Meaningful mantel

The word peace paired with a large-scale dove creates a meaningful homemade mantel decoration.

Christmas puppies

Labrador pups get comfy on a Christmas-color quilt inside the home of a Zionsville, Indiana, dog breeder.

Winter colors wreath

This creative wreath highlights winter materials, such as snowflake ornaments, ribbon, pinecones, mittens, icicle garland and silver-painted leaves.

Kansas City tradition

Holiday lights illuminate Kansas City's Country Club Plaza, a tradition for nearly eight decades.

Winter magic

Door County's Ellison Bay is especially magical in winter, when the cove freezes over and the snow-frosted woods are quiet.

Wintry display

This vintage wheelbarrow holds branches of noble fir, Port Orford cedar, dried eucalyptus and winterberry holly.

Christmas display

A music box nestles on fluffy faux snow at Kathe Wohlfahrt in Stillwater, Minnesota, one of just four U.S. locations of the German ornament-maker.

Christmas tree farm

Many families make a trip to St. Croix Valley Trees in Somerset, Wisconsin, a holiday tradition.
