Last week the wife and I took a little time and drove over to see the Biltmore Estate with the CHRISTmas decorations.

As we toured through the house and taking in the sights and thinking about the effort and the $$$ needed to acquire, create, and furnish such a place. I was some what surprised when I came upon this tree (one of very many) that definitely had a hunter's influence (I think this was in the tapestry room). Website says more than 70 decorated trees, I didn't count'em



Here's a couple more from our trip. (cell phone photos)

the Biltmore is absolutely amazing. if you haven't been, go, and allow for at least a whole day.

the whole area is good, including the surrounding forests. and the russian stock boars aren't bad either.

OOkie, I hadn't seen anything like your top photo while touring the house/ground and looking at the construction photos. Thanks for posting.

I did seen where they had built a railroad to get materials to the site and the workers hitched a ride on it also for their daily trip to the house from Asheville. They removed the rail after the house was finished.... 'er most of it anyway.

Thanks for posting that

Back then wealthy industrialist built those homes. Now it's professional athletes.

I am going to hang one of these this year, just got to work out which flavour is most Christmassy.

"de plane de plane".... or here "de tree de tree"

Well, I not sure if everyone seen these and failed to comment, or no one seen them and failed to comment or ask. Or maybe you just had to be there.



But I was surprised to see these and they produced a smile.

Merry CHRISTmas,

Yes! Keep CHRIST in Christmas, there is no "X" involved.
