You’re surrounded by music and laughter, shoppers shopping, munchers munching, and the happiness of people making merry.

 For some it’s a new delight, for others a 39-year tradition.  It’s a special kind of magic known as The Southern Christmas Show.

Here, in this enchanted land of Christmas, holiday aromas excite, colors and decorations mesmerize, and yuletide tunes dance in your ears.

There’s shopping galore. Olde Town shops are festive. Award-winning trees line Christmas Tree lane.  Craftsmen are crafting, carolers singing, strudel sizzling.    And overhead, giant ornaments proclaim “Welcome to A Magical Christmas.”
Come. Bring friends. Everyone needs a little magic in their lives
