Whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of year, there's no place like home for the holidays. Whether your home is a studio apartment or a huge house, chances are you add a few festive touches. Over the years, the Homes section has visited dozens of Twin Cities residences during the holiday season to showcase seasonal decor — the simple, the ornate and the quirky. Today, we share with you a few of our favorites, from Old World opulence, in a historic mansion, to an only-in-Minnesota hockey-themed tree. Happy holidays!
