Christmas in Vermont,
New England is a splendid time with snow on the ground and goodwill
on the ear. White and Colored lights adorn houses, shops and restaurants in Vermont.
The Christmas morning is spent with a hearty breakfast and merry making.

One fantastic idea to spend the Christmas Holiday in Vermont is Country Skiing upon the white snow. There are other options also like Snowmobiling and Sleigh Rides. Horse drawn sleigh rides are offered at Old Sturbridge Village during the holidays.
A wonderful holiday tradition at Vermont is the Yule Log and Stockings. Sturbridge, Massachusetts, holiday season visitors have an opportunity to learn about when Christmas did arrive in the region and to explore mid-19th-century holiday traditions. Inside The Parsonage, guests learn about the three-candle Yule log and about how the tradition of hanging stockings by the chimney evolved from the Dutch tradition of leaving shoes by the fireplace for St. Nicholas to fill.
Christmas in Vermont is marked by various annual celebrations, parades and light shows. The annual celebration of the holiday in the "Christmassy" town in America offers a special presentation of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" performed by the Chester Players' Guild. Different activities include a children's story hour, visits from Santa Claus, carolers and an evening holiday music concert.
An old-time Christmas can be enjoyed at Plymouth Notch, considered one of the best-preserved presidential sites in the nation. The Coolidge Birthplace and several other historic buildings are traditionally decorated for the season and remain open for the visitors. The day long event includes period music, craft demonstrations, sleigh rides, special postal cancellation, and carol service at the village church.
