Best Christmas Adventures near Morgantown, WV

For the Christmas Lovers..

I grew up celebrating Christmas. I may remember a few toys. I can remember Christmas meals; Food and Fellowship. I will always try to remember the words to all the Christmas songs.

As someone who is middle-aged: I look back and remember. I’ll always look forward and anticipate.

But.. I try to live in the present.

Do cool things.

Make wonderful memories.

Build on yearly traditions.

Celebrate the Season!

I’m a big Christmas lover! The kitschy decor, unique traditions, and all the cookies! As this time comes; the stores are busy. But through all the “madness” there’s a general feeling that unites us. It’s that peace on earth and goodwill to men “vibe”. Every stranger you meet, they’re celebrating something too.
