A fat man in a sleigh being towed by flying reindeer
who lands on your roof, squeezes down the chimney, and drops presents off
is unique to Christmas. Christmas is also notable for bringing out the best in
people, a unique time of the year when charity flows and kindness prevails.
Hop in the car and make this special holiday even more
unique by taking part in these unique celebrations recommended by our team at Sheehy Nissan of Mechanicsville.
Dickens on the
Strand - Galveston, Texas. No author captured the Spirit of Christmas
better than Charles Dickens. Come celebrate the ghosts of Christmas past,
present, and future by gathering the clan and heading to Galveston for Dickens
on the Strand, a three-day street festival that features parades, non-stop
entertainment on five stages, strolling carolers, roving musicians, bagpipers,
jugglers and a host of other entertainers. You can even meet actual descendants
of Charles Dickens and maybe get a visit from ol' Scrooge himself.
A Christmas
Story House & Museum - Cleveland, Ohio. Although
the exact date is not known, at some point in recent movie history, Rudolph,
Frosty, and the Grinch gave way to Ralphie and his unique family from A
Christmas Story as the Christmas Classic that seems to be on TV for
seventeen consecutive days in December. So after the movie-watching couch
potato-fest, it might be time for a road trip. Ralphie's house has been
restored to its movie splendor and is located just across the street from
the Christmas Story museum and gift shop, where you can get
that hard-to-shop-for relative an iconic Christmas Story leg
lamp.
The Reno Santa Pub Crawl - Reno, Nevada. Unless you
want to scar your children for life, you'll want to leave your kids at home for
this one. In fact, you can't participate unless you're 21 or older. You'll want
a designated driver for this one. The Reno Santa Pub Crawl takes place in
December and involves thousands of Santas and other Christmas costumed
characters spreading holiday cheer at the many bars in Reno.
The Inn at
Christmas Place - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. This holiday-themed
hotel celebrates Christmas all year. Since you probably only celebrate it in
December, December would be a great time to visit this Smoky Mountain resort.
The Inn at Christmas Place, a beautiful Bavarian-style hotel, is located right
across the street from the Incredible Christmas Place, a name that says it all.
Santa
Claus, Indiana. Although Santa Claus's official mailing address is
the North Pole, he has a post office in Santa Claus, Indiana, a town that
honors him 365 days a year with Christmas-themed attractions such as Santa's
Candy Castle, the Santa Claus Christmas Store, Santa's Stables, and more.
Rumors have it, he is often spotted there during the summer.
