Time to think about holiday gifts. Here's one I gave that was talked about all year. Take a friend on a Holiday Tour instead of giving a traditional gift. It's usually a day long experience and lots of fun. My favorite was the Fall River tour, but it's not happening this year. However, the Historical Society, shown below, is open for viewing, gift shopping and perhaps booking a tea next door at the Easton House.
I've been treated to the New Bedford tour preceded by an elegant lunch at the Wamsutta Club and to the Providence tour on Benefit Street .but if you check either the Historical Society or Preservation Society in the city or town of your choice, I'm sure there are a lot more out there. Try the tea and tour at Blithewold in Bristol if that's closer. Most are held at the beginning of December, so get tickets or make reservations soon!
Another big hit is the Festival of Lights at Edaville Railroad in Carver MA. Stay warm while you ride the train, and be dazzled by the more than seven million lights. Perfect for grown up young-at- hearts and well as the children. There is something so nostalgic and charming about the whole experience, including a visit with Santa. I revisited this a few years back, and it brought back some great childhood memories.
