Historic Lewiston Christmas House Tour

It's getting down to the wire now! Christmas is less than

2 weeks away. I had the oopportunity to participate in a
Christmasa House Tour in the Historic Town of Lewiston, N.Y.
The homes were gorgeous old homes along the Niagara River

for the mostpart and all decorated beautifully. We were

treated to treats from local bakeries and a poinsettia
cocktail at the Barton Hill Hotel and Spa which in itself
is a magnificent building also on the Niagara River.

Later in the day there was 'Christmas In the Village'.
celebrating Christmas the old fashioned way with free

carriage rides, boutique shopping, carolers, outdoor

entertainment and open house parties in many of the businesses.
The historic village is always dressed for the holidays with
thousands of Christmas lights and individually decorated
windows.

This tour runs annually and is certain to inspire all your holiday decorating. Dinner was enjoyed that evening at a locale restaurant we love called Carmello's. Again, this is a place definitely worth going to. Make a reservation well in advance as they are always booked solid!
