I know its early but, which town really gets into the Christmas spirit? Parades, sleigh rides, Santa stories, Nativity scenes, town Christmas trees etc.
This will be our third Chrismas in the area and I *think* this is year's kick-off is earlier than the past 2 years - the first year we didn't have snow, the second we did The town has done a nice job with Christmas both years - If I remember correctly, Santa visits the Community House (not sure if that's the same time as the parade or a little closer to Christmas), usually the bookstore and the library have things for kids - either stories or projects for the little ones to make gifts..Main Street is usually every nicely decorated and private homes also get into the spirit. I *think* one or two places just outside of town (which may be in either Bethlehem or Lisbon...again I can't really remember) has sleigh rides.
For some reason, my brain isn't firing on all cylindars this morning.....I think I may need more coffee to jump start it!
wow, all that stuff sounds great. what about sleigh rides and stuff, house decorating and who plays the Christmas music?
Waterville Valley! Wes Avery and his Percheron horses do sleigh rides through the valley floor (snow permitting, of course) and the whole Town Square is muzaked with Christmas music. Usually there are also Shakespearean actors roaming the square (or last year they were indoors at the Rey Center's Brookside Room if I remember correctly) doing their seasonal thing.
If I can get organized enough I'll post pictures. Don't hold your breath over the next week, though
well this is what christmas looks like at our house. didn't get a chance to put up all the lights outside cause we got a snow storm and everything got buried....
