"On one branch there hung little nets cut out of colored paper, and each net was filled with sugarplums; and among the other boughs gilded apples and walnuts were suspended, looking as though they had grown there, and little blue and white tapers were placed among the leaves. Dolls that looked for all the world like men - the Tree had never beheld such before - were seen among the foliage, and at the very top a large star of gold tinsel was fixed."
