Christmas Open House

Sunday, November 23, 2008, Christmas bells will be ringing in Lexington, as the Uptown Lexington merchants and Uptown Lexington, Inc. kick-off the holiday season with the 15th annual Uptown Lexington Christmas Open House.

This old-fashioned Christmas celebration is always held on the Sunday afternoon before Thanksgiving, from 1-5 p.m.

More than 25 merchants invite you to visit their shops and to get a jump on your holiday shopping. Enjoy the holiday decorations, listen to Christmas music and try some of the merchant's holiday refreshments. There are horse-drawn carriage rides from the Square, live Christmas music performed from three stage areas and the kids will enjoy a ride on the North Pole Express train. Make sure to visit with Santa, hear a story read by Mrs. Claus, and get a treat from one of Santa's elves.
