That tree is absolutely beautiful. I can’t imagine seeing it up close. Maybe one day. Unbelievable that we are on day 22. Slow down!!

THE ANGEL TREE!!! I have not thought about it in years! Doesn’t the MET also have a Neapolitan nativity scene? Happy Christmas to you, Jolene, and thank you for this wonderful Advent calendar you put together. I’ve so enjoyed it. xx

You brought back memeories of dragging my tiny sons to see the tree every year then let them loose on the galleries and a messy treat in the cafeteria before dragging them back to the subway. Haven't thought of that it years. You're the best at this!

I love the tree at the Met. Thanks for the reminder! It has been a number of years since I have seen it. Museums always seem to have good places to grab a bite.

I'd love to see the tree and all the angels. So glad you have given us this visual! Crumb cake would be perfect Christmas morning--or any morning!🎄
