Decorating For The War On Christmas

Deck the hallways.
The seven rooms that inaugurated this seasonal offering last year will return with even more liliputian trimmings.* Among the most elaborate of the rooms is the English Drawing Room of the Victorian Period, the only room with a Christmas tree. Now a ubiquitous feature of the season, the Christmas tree or tannenbaum, was only brought to England from Germany in 1840 with the marriage of Prince Albert to Queen Victoria.
The finished 1940s-era California Hallway.

More tilty-shifty.
