More Christmas

I’ve writtten so much about Christmas that one would think that is all I think about, not so, but I keep getting more and more info on things that are happening here in Lancaster County and they all seem like fun and interesting ways to celebrate. This coming weekend must be the busiest of all. Just a few miles from me is the Marietta House Tour and the town closes down its year of celebrating 200 years as a town. This tour is always a big affair for the town. It will be Sunday Dec. 2 starting at 11 am.

Let’s see….Friday you can go to Intercourse for their Holiday Celebration starting at 4:30. Saturday you can do the Landis Valley Museum with all the Pennsylvania German Christmas stuff then move on to the PA Railroad Museum. Enough museums, while you are all down that way how about a great dinner at Iron Horse Inn. Dee’s food is always wonderful. I have more in my head just come by.

Thanksgiving Dinner

Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother’s house we go….. I guess most people don’t do this anymore, our family does, except for the woods/river thing, but there is hope…..Lancaster County has lots of restaurants that offer Thanksgiving Dinner. I have a list and am willing to share the info with you or you can go PDCVB and they have a list of the restaurants. If you really want to go over the river I can arrange that also.

Christmas in Lancaster County

Can you believe I was watching Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel this weekend????

Well, as much as I live in denial of where the times goes, we are approaching the season and it comes earlier and earlier every year. Merchants, like QVC were marketing gifts before October, and I admit, that probably for the first time, I did some catalog shopping in August. Christmas is so much more than all this stuff.  Lititz Moravian Church does a beautiful Christmas Service several time before Christmas, it is worth the effort. The Littiz Historical Foundation is also doing a Carol Sing in December.  Many churches in the area have cantatas as well. The reason for the season is to celebrate the birth of the Christ child.
