The carriage ride become more popular too.
Here is Savannah, Ga where it rarely snows we might not have the sleigh rides but we have plenty of opportunities for a horse carriage ride. I grew up in Richmond, Va and there I always loved the old fashion lights on houses with candles in windows and the luminaries lighting up before Christmas Eve. When we were done our service we would ride around looking at the roads all lite up. I live in Savannah now and still like to see the old fashion Holiday Decorations.
