A CHARLES DICKENS CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL

''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.

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.

Georgetown's charming, restored Front Street - on the water will be decorated for Christmas.
