Lovely store with a wonderful Christmas ornament and decoration selection! They have Santa in the store for pictures, and several different activities planned for kiddos. However, the employees could definitely benefit from some Christmas cheer…

Neat place! We stopped on the way back from Thanksgiving in Kentucky having never visited before. I told the teenagers they could each pick out a new ornament for the tree. In theory, we should have left there with two ornaments. Somehow that turned into five. I am not sure how that happened but each one is cute and significant to us in some way. I liked the personalization options and the fact they were included in the price. Given that fact, I would call their prices reasonable. Also, thanks go to the woman in front of me in line who handed me their local newspaper which included a 30% off coupon.

Been coming here for the last 4 years. But normally during the Christmas season. Had a nice little chat with Santa Claus and we plan to come back the first part of nov to get a family photo with him. Maybe a start of another new family tradition! Get customer service big selection of Christmas stuff.

We stopped in to visit Santa. The kids really loved that. The chocolate chip cookies here are fabulous! We bought three for $ 5. I also got a mocha with whipped cream that was really good too. This is a Christmas store so don’t expect anything else. They have a really good collection of fun and interesting music boxes. We like turning them all on and watching them. I just wish I could afford one to take home! They have one that is $ 8,000.00. Don’t touch!

If you are a fan of Christmas decorations you have to make the detour off the interstate and check it out.

Ordered a Tree ornament on 12⁄1 as a gift for the annual family tree trimming. Tracking number from UPS gave a delivery date of 12⁄8. Tree trimming was going to be on 12⁄9. On 12⁄7UPS updated the delivery date to 12⁄11. Needless to say it was not here when promised. Store should make buyers aware that items may not be delivered when promised and offer alternative delivery methods. 2 emails to the store went unanswered.

It seems like whenever and whereever we travel, hubby and I seem to find year-round Christmas stores. Our extensive inventory of holiday décor would prove that as well. For some reason we lived within two hours of Santa Claus, IN for three years and never visited this cute little town… but recently we visited a resort nearby and opted for a different route home and stopped in. This town has of course the tremendous Holiday World and Splashin’ Safari, so most folks who visit the town are probably there for the rides. On the year-round Christmas store front. this place is nice, but I was hoping for more from a town bearing St. Nick’s name. It’s not small, don’t get me wrong, but Pigeon Forge’s Incredible Christmas Place has them beat by a mile… and we’ve visited larger stores I can recall near Wilmington, NC as well. Again, it’s nice — I was just hoping for more. Their in-house Santa is excellent, and their café is always baking cookies and heating cinammon nuts, both of which we had to purchase of course. There were some nice décor pieces I considered, some of the best-looking fake candles I’ve seen anywhere — but they started at $ 45 for a medium size votive. They have a nice selection of Mr. Christmas pieces, some of which I had never seen before — but we are so lacking on tabletop space during the holidays I resisted. The store is located in a strip mall, which is too bad — they really could have done so much more in an old house or someplace that looked like an old house. The town has an inn across the street that again was just not cute, considering everything they could have done for Santa’s Inn in Santa Claus, IN. What I will continue to do is have my Christmas cards cancelled in their post office. They do a lovely hand stamp that is different each year, and a nice tradition for our friends and family.

This is a store full of Christmas decorations. So if you needed more candles for Kwanzaa, this would not be the place to go. It is a cute little shop, just full of ornaments and nicknacks. It is a little bit pricey, but I suppose that as a novelty shop, it can be. They have a ton of really nice ornaments. I bought an old timey hand blown lobster which I am still excited about. There is a pretty convincing Santa who sits in a little room in the back for pictures, at a price. There are also some absurdly overpriced Santa statues for sale running upwards of 4k in some cases. They have a counter selling fudge and a huge assortment of those ceramic Christmas village houses. This place is a little out of the way and a little pricey, but the staff is friendly and they have a lot of Christmas stuff.
