RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Joe - I love your guesses. Excellent idea - I am sorry to say was a US tree!

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Is the tree directly related to the Lincolns? Whatever re-enactment, they are brave to have the candles lit (I can't tell if real or electric).

No - not directly related to the Lincolns, but to the CW.

Is this a portion of a photograph from the Mudd House trees that Thomas posted last week?

Either a Christmas exhibit at the White House of the Confederacy? Or, have they ever reenacted the party for orphans that the Jefferson Davis family held late in the war?

Brilliant ideas, Laurie, but, sorry, neither of these.

Hint #2: Y'all have seen this before.

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
You're sure it's not one of the trees in the Mudd House photos? Although, I don't remember them having any antique trees with candles...

Very sure. This was supposed to be farther south.

Real candles, I've checked.

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Was this some celebration of Christmas during the Civil War in Atlanta, GA?

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
This is an outstanding guess, Roger, and, kudos, this was supposed to be during in Atlanta during the CW! Your terrific guess scores in any case because this is the key, yet the specification is still to be found out

Where in Atlanta was this tree supposed to be?

Hint #3: The last Madeira was served at the event.

Hint #4: The "reenactment" took place in 1939.

A "Gone With The Wind" tree???? Here's a picture of Scarlet and the family.

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Kudos, Joe - precisely the tree stood in Aunt Pittypat's home in Atlanta, where Scarlett went to stay after becoming a widow and where she is courted by Rhett Butler while Ashley, too, returns to Atlanta on leave for Christmas:
   
You can watch the scene here (I needed to click several times - went stop&play&stop&play, but then worked, so don't give up too soon):

Of course, the movie was actually filmed in California...

Thus the score (alphabetic order where equal) is:
Laurie 6
Gene 3
Joe 3
Roger 3
Rogerm 2
Thomas 1

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Spread out, Roger & Gene. I'm in the #2 spot with you now. Hopefully, I won't be there too long...
