The 31stAnnual Historical Christmas in Montgomery took place last Saturday. I missed the parade but took a stroll through the Marketplace. The shopping was fun with many of the local stores and artist highlighting their wares. The wind threatened to blow away the tents but shopping was brisk with many attendees picking up Christmas gifts.
The Cookie Walk was the highlight of the day. The line to enter the Community Center never seemed to get any smaller and you knew by the smell once you entered that the wait was well worth it! The thousands of homemade cookies piled high on the holiday decorated tables were a delight to the senses. I swear I gained 5lbs just smelling the cookies.
Later in the day the Montgomery Historical homes were open for a Candlelight Home Tour.
This event is sponsored each year by the Montgomery Historical Society and all monies collected go towards the restoration and preservation of the seven buildings owned by the Montgomery Historical Society.
This is just another example of why Montgomery/Lake Conroe is a wonderful place to live. The whole community turns out to support local functions and not a month goes by without something fun and interesting happening in the area.
The local website and calendar can be found at Historic Montgomery

Crystal, I'm glad it was a success. I was over at a friends the week before as she was making cookies to take. I forgot to ask her how it turned out though.
