Don't get me wrong, we weren't invited by the royal family ; ).
Last day of 2013 we visited the exhibition "winterpalace" X-mas trees and dishware. Really worthwhile!! You can still go till the 5th of januar. And if you have a museumcard it's for free.
The pictures are just an impression, there is so much more to see. The different livingrooms and cabinets.

Queen Emma liked her X-mas tree with fake-snow on it. Prince Hendrik liked a "scandanavian" X-mas tree with straw figures in it. Queen Wilhelmina just wanted a small one, so she could decorate it herself without standing on a stair, or need the help of a servant. Willem III liked it his X-mas tree with oranges in it, and pine-apples. And Juliana once chose for a X-mas tree decoreated with little X-mas clocks in it with white paper.
