I know its early but, which town really gets into the Christmas spirit? Parades, sleigh rides, Santa stories, Nativity scenes, town Christmas trees etc.

Downtown Meredith NH on a winter evening looks great. A lot of people think it's too built up, but I think they have done a great job with the place. It was very rundown once not too long ago.

Waterville Valley. Town Square looks like a Currier & Ives picture. The Saturday after Thanksgiving kicks it off. Santa & Mrs. Claus arrive by dog sled, it's the annual tree lighting, fireworks, and Santa & Mrs. Claus greet every child (tons of people attend each year).

I cant wait to see some pictures of the towns all decorated in Christmas lights and maybe with some snow. To me, those are some of the most beautiful photos. I love the way the lights reflect off the snow

Default oh geez we got jfr going on christmas again LOL

Yes Dover still has their parade the Sunday evening after Thanksgiving. They also decorate the town square tree and such. It is quite pretty. Most of the towns on the coast do that and put up lights up and down the streets. NH gets into the spirit

Bristol doesn't do much for Christmas, but I always love the way the center of town looks at night with all the Christmas lights.

We used to have a big tree, but now it's just this little guy:
