It was AWESOME! And we were surrounded by huge firs covered in snow... outdoor Christmas trees as well. I will never forget that place. Here in Florida, the trees bite the dust in a week or so.

The Battenburg lace skirt was just what I wanted and in perfect condition! One year, my DD actually wrote across paper toweel "Charlie Brown Tree" put it on the live tree and left it there for when we got home! I still have a picture of that!

Now that's retro! DH's family always had a real tree, that's why we did after we got married. White trees are pretty! Merry Christmas!
