Christmas in Geneva Illinois
2011 Annual Christmas Walk and House Tour
Bring in the season and take in some beautiful homes of Geneva. The Geneva House Tour will be Friday, December 2nd from 11am to 8pm, and Saturday December 3rd from 11am to 4pm. For $30 per person, make your way through 5 amazing Geneva homes which have been decked out for the holidays. Also included in the self guided tour is a decorating and entertaining ideas booklet and a traditional tea at the Congregational Church in Geneva.
The Traditional Geneva Christmas Walk begins December 2nd at 6pm. Santa Lucia and her attendants will arrive at 6pm by horse-drawn carriage and deliver Swedish cookies to everyone on the Courthouse Lawn as they sing Santa Lucia. Then, Santa will make his appearance to light the Great Tree and at 6:30pm, Santa will officially open his Gingerbread House for all those little ones who wish to see him. Enjoy the rest of the night dining in any of the Historic Geneva restaurants or walking the streets while sampling chestnuts being roasted on the street corners. There will be plenty of great shopping as well as horse-drawn carriage rides. You will get to enjoy the strolling carolers and freshly made candy canes and hot cider. You won't want to miss it; your very own winter wonderland.

I can hardly imagine how exciting that would be. Now's your chance! Before December 2nd, register your child to receive their very own phone call from SANTA all the way from his workshop in the North Pole!
