100 DAYS OF CENTRAL MASS FEATURES CHRISTMAS

My absolute favorite holiday of the year is Christmas.  Up here in Central Mass you will a lot of times find snow on the ground and lots of lights and festivities.  It's a wonderful time of year to visit Oakwood Farm Christimas Barn.  Oakwood Farm Christmas Barn is open yearround in Spencer, MA and if you visit their website they are already counting down to Christmas!  Did you know we only have 51 days to go?? 

 Christmas is a fun time of year, reminds me of hot cocoa and warm cookies, snowflakes and cozy fires.  The shopping the preparations have already begun for much of the country.  I have friends that are cracking out the decorations and wrapping up gifts. 

Every year my family has a huge family party for Christmas Eve at either my grandparent's or cousin's house, but our family is growing so large that they have rented a hall this year.  We draw names and exchange gifts so that no one gets left out.  At the local malls you will find Santa, eager to greet children and listen to their wish-lists.  Christmas is a magical time of year in New England, fun for all!  Do you share in any Christmas traditions?
