We’ll get our Christmas tree this weekend, which means the yummy smell of a fresh-cut tree in my living room… and also the battle to untangle the holiday lights.
Looking for a little less hassle? There’s plenty of beautiful trees and lights to be seen in the area. Check out these offerings in southcentral Pennsylvania in the next week:
- Catch a holiday dinner musical put on by Mayor Herschel Sugarman at the Hershey Lodge beginning Nov. 23.
- Watch Lancaster kick off the holidays with the Mayor’s Tree Lighting and Tuba Christmas 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Nov. 23.
- Christmas Magic is baaaack! Head up to Rocky Ridge for a half-mile of 600,000 lights, stop in to visit Santa and view holiday scenes beginning Nov. 23 and running through Dec. 31.
- Celebrate the 27th Handmaids & Friends Craft Show in Hallam – handmade wreaths, centerpieces, homebaked goods and more Nov. 23-25.
- Stop by the Carlisle Expo Center Nov. 24 for the Holiday Artisan Craft Show and purchase an item crafted by local artisans. Christmas shopping for that hard-to-buy-for aunt? Done.
