Biltmore Christmas Tree
The People took a trip to the Biltmore a couple weeks ago to watch them bring in the Biltmore Christmas tree. Apparently, there is a big "to do" when bringing the tree into the house.
Mr. and Mrs. Claus were there to officiate.
Woman says they are not the real Mr. and Mrs. Claus, but I'm not so sure. They look pretty darn authentic to me.
The tree is brought in on a horse-drawn trailer. Those people were not supposed to be out in the middle of the road, but they were anyway. It ticks Woman off when other people break the rules. She likes the rules.
This is Bert and Ernie. They are the Biltmore Estate's "work horses", though I think this is the most work they do all year!
Woman says the tree was gigantic - much bigger than our tree. I bet it drops awesome presents!
I don't think it really took this many dudes to pick up the tree. I think they just all wanted to get to say that they helped with the tree.
The People did not follow the tree into the house, because there was a huge crowd, and Woman hates crowds. They have not been back to see it all glittered up for Christmas, but they do plan to get back there soon.

Wow! I bet your parents had a great time watching them put up that tree. Did they get to tour the Estate too! My mommy is very jealous.

Wow, that would be fun to watch. I've always wanted to go there when the tree and decorations were up.
Have your woman email me and tell me how she links to her flickr photos in her posts. I know you can post from flickr, but that's only on one photo right? so how do you get a post with multiple photos?

That's one big tree! I wish we had a tree to drop us presents. I asked my parents for a Christmas tree but Daddy said we don't celebrate Christmas . . . something about him being Jewish and all . . . But Mommy told me not to worry because I will get gifts anyway . . . Hooray!

The People have toured the estate numerous times. They have season passes. They have gone to the candelight house tour before, but they're not going this year. They're going to go during the day when they can get in free with their passes. The candlelight tour still costs $$ for passholders. Everything at the Biltmore is BIGGER and more EXPENSIVE than everywhere else!

WoW! Look at that tree. You got wonderful pictures that show the enormous scale. Emmitt says he would love to mark that tree, but he does not have enough pee to even think about it. :)

I loved looking at your pictures. Although - I did think that for some reason Mrs. Clause had a giant lion shaped bouffant on her head... :)

What a gorgeous tree. I've wanted to get there to see the Christmas decor for years but I always seem to be tied up with so many other things.
I bet that tree does drop some awesome presents Norman!

That tree is HUGE. It must take an army of elves to decorate! I wonder if there are any creatures left in there? They might get to those presents first!

Stupid rule breakers ruining people's pictures!
If Norman had been there, he could have chased them back where they belonged!
