Christmas is coming in Knoxville, Tennessee

Posted by Jim Lee, REALTOR® @ 8:57 pm, December 2nd, 2006  

December 2nd and a little bit of chill in the air with a modest frost this morning.

But the cold weather makes it really seem like it’s December and only 22 shopping days til Christmas.

The annual Fantasy of Trees is already over; it’s a huge festival of lavishly decorated Christmas trees, holiday accessories, room scenes, fireplace mantels, swags, door designs, table centerpieces, topiaries, birdhouses and “Adopt-a-trees” decorated by local school children.

The Christmas are auctioned off to the highest bidder and all proceeds from the Fantasy goes toward our local Children’s Hospital.

Knoxville's Christmas ExpressKnoxville’s local excursion train becomes “The Christmas Express” with 90 minute train rides featuring Christmas cookies & refreshments topped off by a reading of “The Polar Express” children’s book.

The annual Christmas Parade was today.

This year’s parade included more than 80 floats and marching bands, with everything from horses and tap-dancing children to antique cars and roaring tractor-trailers.

And there are lots, lots more Christmas events to come; great for children of all ages.

Christmas at Chilhowee Park with the floating Christmas trees in the lake, lots of open houses at local churches and historic sites like Blount Mansion, the annual 5K ”Jingle Bell Run” to benefit the Artritis Foundation, Holiday cruises down Ft. Loudon Lake on the Star of Knoxville, pageants, festivals, and the traditional Knoxville Nativity Pageant which reminds us all the true meaning of Christmas.

White Christmas at the Tennessee TheatreNext weekend the historic Tennessee Theater has booked “White Christmas” circa 1954 starring Bing Crosby for a 2 day screening.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around Knoxville, Tennessee.
