Small towns are the best places to spend the holidays and Milton, Delaware, shows you why. It all begins with the Christmas Parade on December 7th at 7 pm. The best place to be is in the heart of town near the Library, close to Irish Eyes. That’s where you’ll find everyone gathered when the parade has passed.

Holly Festival

Held on December 10th from 9 am – 3 pm, the Holly Festival is one of my favorite places to shop for Christmas gifts. Always a sell-out, crafters and artisans are set up at both the Milton Fire Hall and at Goshen Hall on Federal  Street. Don’t forget to visit Santa between 11 and 2 at Goshen Hall and bring your camera. Volunteers will be happy to help snap a photo for you to take home.

Holiday House tour

Then tour the 8 homes and 2 historic buildings featured on the Holiday House tour for 2011. The tour begins at 3:30 and continues until 7:30 pm. When we lived in Milton, we were one of the homes featured on the tour and it was a wonderful holiday experience. Now I look forward to being able to see the other homes. Advance tickets can be purchased at Salon Milton or at Lewes Printing.
