During the month of December, Victorian Christmas tradi-
tions come alive at Biltmore House. This cinnamon stick tree is
one of many scattered throughout the 250-room French
Renaissance chateau. The trees are misted regularly during
the holidays, filling the house with the spicy aroma of
Christmas.
