Christmas is coming to the Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum, where eight designer-decorated Christmas trees will take the stage. As in years past, the trees will be decorated around a children’s storybook theme; this year’s is “A Very New York Christmas,” which draws its inspiration from the Michael Storrings book. The book features New York landmarks “dressed up” for the holiday season, including the museum. The event opens December 4 for a holiday luncheon and book signing with special guest Storrings.
