The fifth annual Christmas Home Tour, hosted by the Samford University’s Legacy League, includes four Mountain Brook homes this year.

The tour is set for Thursday, Dec. 10 and showcases the holiday décor of five homes, including one that is in Vestavia Hills. This year’s tour will also include a holiday gift market.

Homes on the tour range from traditional to contemporary designs. One home includes a large outdoor living area and fireplace built by the owners. Another has contemporary design and includes an indoor fountain. Another tour residence includes exposed beams and limestone appointments, reflecting the English arts and crafts movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  A fourth residence reflects New England architecture in a rural setting.

The Samford President’s Home, which sits atop Shades Mountain, includes a view of the city. At this home, guests will have hors d’oeuvres and desserts. They will also have the opportunity to shop at the holiday gift market, a new addition to this year’s tour.

The gift market will have jewelry and accessories, art, children’s items, clothing, food and home items for sale. The market is sponsored by Event Rentals Unlimited.

Homes will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 through Dec. 8 or $30 at the door. To order tickets, visit samford.edu/legacyleague. For more information, call 726-2247 or visit the website.

Proceeds from the home tour and gift market will be used for scholarships for students with significant financial need and challenging circumstances.
