''I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.''
From ''A Christmas Carol'' by Charles Dickens. The city of Georgetown and the surrounding celebrate the Christmas Spirit every year with a wonderful old-fashioned festival with a Charles Dickens theme in November. A CHRISTMAS CAROL CANDLELIGHT TOUR OF HOMES is the week-long highlight.
Georgetown's charming, restored Front Street - on the water will be decorated for Christmas. |
Beautifully restored homes and Bed & Breakfasts dating back to the 18th
century are elegantly decorated for Christmas with multiple trees, santa
collections, elaborate nativity scenes and swags and garlands bedecking the
many grand staircases and antique mantles. Hosts and hostesses cheerfully
greet the visitors in costumes depicting the era - as do the madrigal singers
performing on the verandas. The house tour includes a museum and historic
churches.
