Abstract:

With four acres under roof, Asheville's Biltmore Estate is the country's largest private home. When Christmas at Biltmore began in 1976, $50,000 was spent on decorating, and a few thousand visitors came. Today over $1 million is spent on decorations, and over 200,000 come to look at them between November 6 and January 2. Among the decorations are 38 Christmas trees, some 40 feet high; 300 wreaths; and 4 miles of garland.
