Last year we spent the holidays at the Hawksbill Cabin, and we had occasion to drive over to New Market where we visited this little store, full of Christmas decorations. So on Saturday, after the stop at Southern Kitchen, we went there instead of the caverns - it was getting late in the afternoon and we needed to get back to Alexandria that evening.
This little store is chock-full of every kind of ornament and holiday display. Those little lighted buildings that people set up into panoramas fill the first room. I never realized that there are four or five specialties in this category. Between the Hawthorne Village and Department 58, you could spend your life's savings on this stuff!
The other room is focused on tree ornaments - I think there are some photos in last year's post about this too - but I really enjoy traditional "Nutcracker" ornaments. Below are the new ones my mother gave us this year (thanks Mom) and will hang on the Alexandria tree.
After we wrapped up our stop, it was back to the cabin to close up, and then on to Alexandria...where speaking of holiday cheer, I got to watch the USC - Notre Dame game, contentedly.
