## About

A holiday tradition at Old Westbury Gardens. Visitors step inside Westbury House to see rooms decorated in period style for a Christmas of the past, then stroll through the gardens. Holiday treats such as cookies and warm cider are part of the visit, and Santa makes a special appearance. It is designed as a seasonal outing for the whole family, from young children excited to meet Santa to grown-ups who enjoy historic homes.
