Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas, Indiana! I know what you are thinking…. Christmas was the other day. Well, that’s true. But, I don’t know many people who run out and take their lights down the day after Christmas. Plus, there is still plenty of time to celebrate! Furthermore, most of these Christmas towns offer Christmas events and festivals until the end of the month.
What did you and your family do for Christmas this year? Do you have plans to go anywhere special? Christmas is a pretty big deal around the state of Indiana. After all, we are home to Santa Claus, Indiana! I’ve done some digging and here are some of the top Christmas towns in Indiana. They are all magical. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to check them out with my family!
