During the week before Christmas (and including both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day), a visit to this former country retreat of the Dutch Royal Family (it's now a museum open to the public) affords visitors a look at Christmas traditions over the last 300 years. Marvel at a Victorian-era Christmas tree, tables set for royal holiday feasts, Queen Wilhelmina's silver ornaments and much more. You can even learn how the gardeners make all those gorgeous evergreen garlands in special demonstrations.
