  • To see the mansion lit up, come to an evening event like Candlelight & Carols or Spirits of Christmas. The house is under thousands of Christmas lights then.
  • Bring your own drinks to Spirits of Christmas, which is a bring-your-own-spirits evening with refreshments, entertainment and a tour.
