RE: Happy Holidays!
Thanks, Eva.
I LOVE your Christmas Tree - it's a true German Christmas Tree.... The first Christmas Tree in Richmond, VA was brought over by the Reverend Paul Minnegrode, a German minister at St Paul's Episcopal Church on Grace Street, in the 1840s. The trend soon caught on all over Richmond, VA. This is my rendition of a "Victorian" Christmas Tree...it consists of ornaments from my mother's Christmas trees as a girl growing up in the 1920s, ornaments and things from my sister and I growing up in the late 1950s and early 1960s as well as store bought antique Christmas Ornaments. I have one or two ornaments that are original. Most Victorian Christmas Tree ornaments were made of pasteboard or paper and decorated with silk fringe, etc. I found this one at an antique store in Maryland about 25 years ago. It dates from 1880 and has a Christmas verse on the back - ![[Image: d6el.jpg]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/534/d6el.jpg/)
