Christmas 2004 - A Victorian Christmas

2004 Christmas Theme

It was a step back in time to a "Victorian Christmas." Guests walked down the driveway transformed into a city street during the turn of the century. A 2 story hotel was the centerpiece, with Papa in his rocker while one child played on the floor under a tree decorated in traditional Victorian style ornaments. Handmade paper roses, paper garland, and "candle" lights (okay, we cheated here and used electricity!) adorned the 9 foot tree. A mischievous child on the second floor balcony was caught trying to pull decorations off the tree from his high perch. On the other side of the drive, a general store stocked all the items needed for a traditional Christmas, including baked goods, decorations, and kitchen supplies. Down the driveway, a mother and daughter enjoyed ice cream treats in the sweets shoppe and ice cream store. Carolers stood outside the florist shop. In the yard, a chapel filled the corner, with parishioners seen silhouetted as they head in to service. (Here's a secret - the silhouettes were all of crew members and Deacon Dave!)
