Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree

In 2005, Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree was adapted into a children's theater stage production by the Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre.

After Baxter leaves, Adelaide notices that the tree in her room is slightly too tall, so she cuts off the top and throws it out the window (with the mouse family in it).

The bears engage in their Christmas festivities (The Honeypot Waltz), and eventually notice that the tree is too tall.

Meanwhile, back at the manor, Mr. Willowby is piling gifts around the tree, but notices he doesn't hear Baxter anywhere.

To his great satisfaction, he quickly finds the butler standing in the snow underneath Miss Adelaide's window, listening to her sing.

Fortunately at that moment, Willowby's Christmas Ball is about to begin, and as the guests arrive, he hears Miss Adelaide leaving her room.

As the credits roll, Ned and Beverly begin relating their adventure to their mother while father dozes by the fireplace.

Score- and songwriters Patty and Michael Silversher were nominated at the 48th Primetime Emmy Awards for the song "The Perfect Tree".
