Christmas in Salem — Dec. 1-3, 2017

I know, I know. We just got to October and believe me, I am STOKED. However, details of Christmas in Salem were just published and I wanted to share. Forgive me for disrupting your regularly scheduled Halloween shenanigans for this one moment. 😛

Info per Christmas In Salem:

“Few communities have the rich legacy of historic houses that Salem, Massachusetts boasts. These homes, spanning four centuries, help define the character as well as the appearance of the city, and every year some of their owners invite visitors in to view their homes decked out in full holiday regalia, with the help of professional decorators and florists. Christmas in Salem features a glimpse into these private homes that have been professionally decorated for the holiday season as well as a series of special events such as walking tours and wine tastings that are exclusive to Christmas in Salem ticket holders.

Each year, the tour features a different neighborhood in historic Salem and therefore explores a series of unique histories and architectural tales. Proceeds from the event support historic preservation in Salem and the mission of Historic Salem, Inc.

Tour dates and hours:

Friday, December 1, 2017
Saturday, December 2, 2017

Christmas in Salem invites visitors to tour historic homes in the Salem Common neighborhood. Homes will be beautifully decorated for the holiday season. A complimentary trolley takes visitors from downtown parking locations to the tour route, providing historical information and a festive ride that will get everyone in the holiday spirit. There are local attractions, walking tours, live music, and hotel discounts available for all tour goers.
