One of our pre-Christmas events was a visit to the Lyndhurst Castle in Tarrytown.  Built in 1846?, it is now open to the public and at Christmas each room is decorated in a Holiday Fairy Tale Theme.  Unfortunately, no indoor photography was allowed, but we had a great time wandering around the rooms, and listening to a harpist and pianist.  It was also a good excuse to put Julia in a really cute Christmas outfit!
