The 35' Frasier Christmas Tree is delivered at Biltmore Estate


Twas a dark and overcast morning, just perfect for the pomp and circumstance of the Biltmore Estate Christmas Tree delivery. The tree is a 35' Frasier (Frasier's are originally from NC, discovered by Mr. Frasier, and now are very popular in England).
The tree is unloaded by employees, carried into the main dining room and up righted by hand.  It was a wonderful morning and a sight that I will long remember.  Did a bit of shopping at The Christmas Shop (Passholders Appreciation Day with a 20% discount throughout the estate).  November 7 through January 11 (2015) the decorations are displayed.  Half way through all the live greenery (including the trees) is replaced with fresh greens and trees.  It is done overnight while  the estate is closed.
Prudence stayed all snuggled in her blankie in the car, she is coming down with the sniffles, we bought her a wonderful Christmas CD of an old music box collection of Christmas songs.  She has been playing it non-stop.  She sends her hugs and she will see you next week.
