A Very Merry Christmas House Tour 2025

The 2025 Christmas House Tour and Mistletoe Market fittingly saw the first snow of the year and hundreds of visitors shopped the stands in STA's halls, dined in the decorated Refectory, and perused the beautifully festive homes on the House Tour. Preparations started early in the week, with parent volunteers and STA staff transforming the school into a winter wonderland, complete with elegantly decorated trees and wreaths, a candy and sweets shop, and of course the entirety of the Mistletoe Market. Guests began arriving Friday morning to shop the stands, enjoy chili or a sit down meal in the Refectory, and tour the four homes and Virginia Mae Center. Thank you to all of the parent and student volunteers, sponsors, and house hosts that made this merriment possible for the whole community, especially CHT co-chairs Erica Baily and Mary Moffett Keaney, and the entire PA Christmas House Tour committee volunteers:
