Stockbridge, Ma - Stockbridge might look just like a Norman Rockwell painting—and that's because it is! Each year, the town re-creates the 1967 Rockwell painting, "Stockbridge Main Street at Christmas (Home for Christmas)" during their annual festival. Old-fashioned cars line the main street to re-create the painting, and the public can tour historic homes decorated for the holidays... :waving:

Woodstock, Vt - It sounds like the image of a Christmas card: a parade of horses and buggies circling a snowy village green. But Woodstock Wassail Weekend is an actual annual event in picturesque Woodstock, Vermont. Carolers serenade townsfolk and everyone gathers for the lighting of the tree and Yule log. Historic homes and farms open to celebrate rural holiday heritage. You may have to pinch yourself to believe the charming New England spectacle! :xmashigh5:
