The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

With less than a week left until Christmas, I just had to post my annual blog of Yuletide pictures! This year the program was set in 1849, the year when New York made Christmas an official holiday. For us ladies, doing 1849 meant new dresses and new hairstyles; I took the opportunity to replicate my favorite Jane Eyre dress. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures from any of the other scenes...but here are some "back-stage" pictures to show the fun we have in the Town Hall!
