- Old-fashioned holiday baking that does not include a tube of dough and a Doughboy
- Music from local performers and not music on an iPod
- Christmas shadow play instead of Nintendo DS
- Christmas stories by fire instead of watching Christmas shows on TV
- horse drawn wagon rides ($1 per person) instead of driving in the SUV or minivan
- many hands on activities and visit with a historic Santa, too!
