Question of the Week, "Pigeon Forge has great Christmas shows, which are your must-sees?
 
Last week's question, "Christmas is right around the corner, what's your favorite Christmas memory from the Smokies?" 
 
Tommy writes, "Back in 2003 I invited a couple who had not been there in over 20 Years.  It was the week before Christmas, we flew into Knoxville and rented a Jeep 4x4 for the Mountains.  When we got into Gatlinburg it started snowing and did not stop till the day we left.  Just all the gliming christmas reflecting off the snow made a post card Christmas for us.  My friends were like kids in the candy store. I treated them to some fine dining and cold as it was outside it made my trip worth to see them have the time of there life."
