All the Happenings

There's just something magical about a small town at Christmastime. The lights seem to shine a little brighter, the smiles seem a little warmer, hospitality and generosity seem a little more earnest. It feels like spending the holiday season among friends, even if you're visiting from many miles away. At least that's how it is in Greensboro, where the Christmas tree standing proudly on Main Street is reminder of simpler holidays in days gone by. Christmastime in Greensboro means the tinkling of shop bells, the clinking of wine glasses, the laughter of children and the mingling scents of gingerbread and hot chocolate.
