Martha Moments Members Celebrate the Holidays

Every year at this time, I'm always so impressed by the talent and imagination of members of the Martha Moments Facebook group who do the holidays with such flare and verve. Inspired by Martha's vision of Christmases filled with beauty and delicious foods, so many of the members enjoy the process of filling their homes with festive decorations, baking and good cheer. These photographs were compiled from the Facebook group. Thanks to everyone who makes that group a fun, safe and inspiring place to be!

Louie Villar decorated a beautiful tabletop tinsel tree using Martha Stewart ornaments. 
Hayden Regina's tree was similarly decorated with an assortment of pinecone ornaments. 
Tabletop trees were popular this year! Julio Torrado's tree looks so whimsical in traditional green and red; it rests atop one of Martha's faux-bois plant stands. 
Bernie Wong's natural tabletop tree looked gorgeous dressed in silver and white ornaments.
Jeremy Lambertson's maximalist style of tree decoration leaves no branch unadorned! I love the explosion of exuberant colour.
Christopher Baker's living room is all decked out with three small trees. Orange was his theme this year. The two surrealistic portraits on the walls were his inspiration. 
Bernie Wong found the perfect spot for his collection of bottle-brush Christmas trees!
Chris Tamez used a pyramid of Martha Stewart cake stands to great effect in this festive display in his kitchen!
Concha Velasco Lomas set a beautiful table on her balcony this year.
David Siza adorned a collection of silver and glass candle sticks with festive decoration for a lustrous, elegant display.
Krista Jeanne decorated her impressive mantel with real boughs of conifer clippings, red ornaments, berries and feathers.
Julio Torrado's bookshelves are aglow with twinkle lights! Martha's polar bear figurines playfully examine a disco ball!
Chris Tamez tried something similar in his window, which is fronted by "Martha's village" - a collection of tin houses made in the image of Martha's summer house, winter house and stables. 
Some of Bernie's smaller bottle-brush trees found their way to this display of brown transferware. 
Laura Guisebert-Clark made a delicious looking bouche de noel.
Steven Fraser also made one, complete with meringue mushrooms.
Chris Tamez used Martha's cake stands to glorious effect to serve his assortment of festive cakes, cookies and chocolates.
Todd Hall made Martha's gingerbread recipe and fashioned giant snowflakes from the dough using Martha by Mail snowflake copper cookie cutters.
Bernie Wong also made gingerbread snowflake cookies and decorated them in his signature palette of green and white.
Krista Jeanne's front entrance looks inviting with its fresh garland and mini lights.
