Celebrating the Holidays With Aerin Lauder

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My recent blog post, <a href="http://aflippenlife.blogspot.com/2014/11/a-fresh-look-at-red-and-green.html" target="_blank">A Fresh Look at Red and Green</a>, included a photo of Aerin Lauder's Manhattan apartment decorated for Christmas. I found some additional photos of Aerin's homes decorated for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. Please take a peek and have a happy Thanksgiving!</span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj62sleWamzM-morMLYFVI145cLhyphenhyphenHzhoPEfu9xa8O1GuPFwZdAmADavn20i6BZDmd3fyZiNsLbWMQ5hWHg9Y1JHe-VNUvZTJo1GKlk9DQXXmvRyirclZMD-g3FUYCOE3RUnUXB-AXKJXE/s1600/download.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj62sleWamzM-morMLYFVI145cLhyphenhyphenHzhoPEfu9xa8O1GuPFwZdAmADavn20i6BZDmd3fyZiNsLbWMQ5hWHg9Y1JHe-VNUvZTJo1GKlk9DQXXmvRyirclZMD-g3FUYCOE3RUnUXB-AXKJXE/s1600/download.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“ 'We moved into my grandmother’s home in the country twelve years ago,' Lauder says.

Even though the family is Jewish, they would gather each year on his birthday for an old-fashioned repast of roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, and the classic French Yuletide dessert of bûche de Noël—a ritual they continue to this day. . . . 'It was a celebration of his birthday and of the holiday, all in one.' . . . For Lauder, who also celebrates Hanukkah, the key to holiday entertaining is to create a setting that feels both inviting and luxurious. 'But most of all, it's about tradition and the spirit of the season,' she says. 'I love to create a sense that this is a special time of year.'
