"The exterior of the box is wrapped to look like a Christmas present - it will fit nicely under our tree for many seasons to come," said Audra.

Mary Ciccolella also created her beary cheerful Christmas house based on family.

"I constructed this house because my accumulation of Christmas miniatures had gotten out of control and my big dollhouse was, it seemed, a lifetime away from being completed. A minor difference is that although we have a dog, he's not a golden retriever but a Yorkie. But since we considered a golden retriever he lives here.

"The kid's room is representative of my son's room when he was a baby. It was always filled with teddy bears and toys, so it will always remain so in this house. He actually did have a Madeleine doll and a hammering toy and his birthday is in December - so there is a birthday present in the room with the Christmas tree. The Disney stuff is in honor of all the trips we made there that he loved and to all the Disney movies we watched together."
