DescriptionA decorated Christmas tree with presents arranged around it is beside a window. Christmas ornaments on the tree include tinsel, glass ornaments, and strings of beads. There appear to be electric Christmas lights on the tree. Toys beneath the tree include stuffed animals, dolls, a doll bed, a tea set and Farmyard Puzzle Box and Dissected Map of the United States. . A bird cage, drapes, and a wicker chair are to the left. Framed pictures are on the wall.
NotesSubject Note: This tree is decorated in a similar style to that pictured in 1995.36.1579 and 1995.35.1580, but it appears to be an entirely different tree. (Agins 7/30/2013)
