and after supper...


we oooo-ed  and ahhh-ed at the beautiful Christmas tree in the Great Hall.


Blanche presses hundreds of Queen Anne's Lace every year to decorate the tree.


It is most beautiful!


The room has such a welcoming presence. 


Then it was on to biscotti-making in the dining room.


Four kinds and we would all bring some of each home.  And it's easy!  Delicious!


After that, we went outside to take a night walk to "look for St. Nick".  At each stop there was a note...


and a gift from him...


pretty little gifts for trimming our trees at home...


Soon it was time for bed and sleepy dreams of Christmas...

 
and look what St. Nick left in our shoes during night!

More to come...
