Ancestors' Advent Calendar: Dec 1st: Decorate Your Christmas Staircase With Evergreens!

' Hall and staircase decoration, rather than crowding evergreens into reception rooms, is a modern fashion. There is an air of welcome to a Christmas guest when he steps into a hall and mounts a staircase greeted by graceful festoons reaching from one corner of a cornice to another, ' Supplement to the Sheffield and Rotherham Independent, Saturday December 24^th, 1881.
