It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas here in the Golden Isles!  And even though we won’t be seeing any snow, at least I don’t think so, it’s time to make merry!

The Jekyll Island Club Hotel had its annual Christmas Tree Lighting celebration…..

Brunswick is filled with hustle and bustle with an upcoming Christmas Parade, Boat Parade and a special viewing of one of my favorites, It’s A Wonderful Life at the Ritz Theatre.  Visit here to see more events and details:  www.goldenisles.com

Another VERY exciting event on Saturday, December 7th, is the 29^th annual Cassina Garden Club Christmas Tour of Homes & Bake Sale.  The theme of this year’s event is  Sea Island – “Holiday Traditions”.  Proceeds benefit the preservation & restoration of the historic tabby slave cabins on Gascoigne Bluff.  These cabins are open regularly throughout the year for touring & events.  They are visited by hundreds including school children, elder hostel group and international tourists to our area.  Go here for reservations and more information:   www.CassinaGardenClub.org,  or call 912-399-1152.  The beautiful Sea Island Cloister will be beautifully decorated as well as six Sea Island homes you’ll be able to tour….combine that with the fundraising bake sale and you’ve got the holiday spirit going full speed!

 

Perhaps one of my most favorite annual events is The Community Messiah Chorus that will be presented at Wesley United Methodist Church this coming Sunday.  Two performances are featured on December 7th at 4 and 7 p.m.

Always a treat during the holiday’s! Handel’s Messiah, composed in 1741 and first performed in Dublin in April of 1742, this classic is a holiday maker!  Click on the arrow to hear the Hallelujah Chorus.  You can’t help but get in the mood when listening to this!

There is nothing like Christmas in the Golden Isles!  I’ll be featuring special gifts, shops and events over the coming weeks so stay tuned!

And don’t forget to tune into WWEZ 94.7 and 97.5 FM radio to hear The Permanent Tourist radio talk show!  Every Tuesday and Thursday evening at 7:05 pm EST….www.wwezradio.com for live streaming.
