Hard to pick a favorite with so many beautiful things to see in Longwood, but the music room was extraordinary. They turned it into an old fashioned candy shop. Not sure where the childhood magic came from but the room was chock full. This tree was one of the most stunning. They used cellophane as a garland so the entire tree was enfused with pastel rainbow colors. Amazing.

I thought that room was magnificent. Too bad cameras don't capture the aroma of the sweets in there!

Best part of my day. Santa brought me a neck massager and DS made me a cocktail before I started making dinner. Don’t mind my makeup; it makes me look a bit pale.

It's here it's here it's here! I love that you can only see this movie one day out of the year. Mind you, you can see other Christmas movies during the year... It will play now, until I get up and out of bed in the morning. I will fall asleep to it, with the TV screen set to turn off automatically.

Wow. That is pretty! I tried to enlarge but can’t see. They twisted the cellophane to make garland?

Yes Michele, where you see those swaths of blue in the pic, that's the lights reflecting off the cellophane garland, scrunched more than twisted. Keep in mind that this tree is probably about 20' tall, so it's *big* and needs *lots* of large ornaments and lights to decorate it.

Lars, is that one of Kevin's cat paintings in the background? It looks great hanging on that well.

Another from our Botanical Garden display. This is a replica of a local retired and beloved physician’s house that he always decorated for Christmas with many lawn displays, Santa, The Grinch, live reindeer, and much more. He also contributed much to the community in his retirement. He passed away last March and the Garden honored him by constructing this display, and re-worked a few of his displays as well.

Dawn, yes that is one of Kevin's paintings, and in that photo, only the cat appears to be looking at the camera! Kevin is on the far left of the photo holding a video camera, and our two nieces are also in the photo with grand-nephew and nephew-in-law.

That cat painting is now in our brother Mike's house in Texas.
