Question of the Week, "Christmas is right around the corner, what's your favorite Christmas memory from the Smokies?" Last week's question, "Have you been to Winterfest before? If so, what was your favorite part?"

 

Steve writes, "Jane and I have been to Pigeon Forge during Winterfest, and enjoy all the activities. If I could recommend one thing to do at this time, it would be to take the Trolley ride at night. Not only do you get to view all the lights without having to drive, you get information about all the lights and Pigeon Forge also. It makes a great evening!"

 

Teresa says, "I came to Winterfest in 2002 for Christmas. It was a Winter Wonderland. Streets weren't very busy, and the lights at night were awesome. The best part was that it snowed on Christmas morning. There were a few restaurants open surprisingly for breakfast and dinner. I felt bad for the employees, but I did appreciate them working that day. I love Christmas at home, however 2002 was a rough year with the loss of  two grandfathers and we were in need of a break. If you and the family want to do something out of the ordinary this season make plans to enjoy Winterfest."

Kenneth writes, "Yes, we have been to Winterfest many times before. It quickly gets you in the spirit of Christmas. We bring our three year old granddaughter and the spirit of Christmas through the eyes of a child are memories a grandparent will never forget. She loves the shows and in awe of the lights. We started bringing her when she was 11 months old and she remembers things from year to year. We started with our boys when they were small and hope to continue this to be  a tradition we keep carring on from generation to generation. One of the simplest things my granddaughter enjoyed was feeding the ducks and pigeons, they came on the balcony of our motel. Any time is a great time to visit the Smokey Mountain area. We save vacation time just to be able to spend a week enjoying the lights, Christmas shows, and who could forget the shopping?"

The 34th annual Festival of Christmas Past celebration is a popular celebration of Christmas and winter in the Smokies. The event, sponsored in cooperation with Great Smoky Mountains Association, is free to the public. The popular event is a celebration of Christmas and winter in the Smokies. Around Christmas time, people gathered in churches, homes, and schools, and many of them celebrated the holiday through music, storytelling, and crafts. The Festival of Christmas Past lets us pause and remember some of these traditions. The festival will include old-time mountain music and Old Harp singing, as well as demonstrations of traditional domestic skills such as basket making, quilting, spinning, and apple butter making. The festival will take place at the Sugarlands Visitor Center on Saturday December 12, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
