We've done a tour now of Blickling Hall, Felbrigg Hall and Oxborough Hall, and of all the National Trust properties in our area Felbrigg's Christmas decorations win hands down. I'm not a huge fan of themed displays, but if they are executed with imagination and creativity, as at Felbrigg, I won't complain. Blickling's by comparison was a bit flat. Oxborough's was just decorated rooms without any overarching theme, for which they really needed to push the boat out a bit more than they did. But there is something about a stately home done up to the nines, that brings out something of the archetypal resonances in the festivities.
