Inside: Christmas towns revisited. . . Did you know there are Christmas named towns in the US? Here’s a fun little read we posted several years ago just in time for the holidays.
Christmas Towns Abound
It’s likely you’ve heard of North Pole, Alaska, (pictured above), but have you heard of North Pole, NY? Or would you believe there is not only a Santa, Idaho, but also Santa Claus, Indiana, as well as Santa Clause, Georgia, and yet another town with the same moniker in Arizona?
And not only that, but we’ve got towns named after Rudolph and Dasher. (That would be Rudolph, Wisconsin, and Dasher, Georgia, respectively.)
On a more spiritual note, you can find two namesakes for that ancient little town Bethlehem: Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Bethlehem, North Carolina. In my own home state, I discovered today, we have a town by the name of Noel, Missouri!
And how about the actual name of the holiday? There are several contenders: Christmas Valley, Oregon, and Christmas Cove, Maine, as well as Christmas, Michigan, and Christmas, Florida.
For those who love the symbols of the season, we have Eggnog, Utah, and Mistletoe, Kentucky, and also Evergreen, Alabama, and Holly Springs, Mississippi.
But regardless of these names both fun and fanciful, perhaps the best Christmas town of all is the place where you call home. And I hope wherever that is, you have the most wonderful, blessed, peaceful Christmas ever!
