The second table top Christmas tree in the tea room sits in the front parlor, in the family heirloom, an antique German music box. Just as the tree rotates in the music box, the decorations on this tree change annually. Last year it was full of bright red cardinals, this year, still with touches of red, it is ornamented with large golden poinsettia blossoms and rich golden bows. Alas, the picture doesn't seem to capture the elegance of this simple tree.
