A “Slower” Branson

November 23rd, 2009

Would you enjoy a relaxing week in the mountains with a fantastic lake view, a romantic fireplace and a Jacuzzi tub in a fully equipped condo? If so, then our Christmas Week deluxe lakefront condo in Branson may be just what you want!

We have a two-bedroom condo at Indian Point Resort on Table Rock Lake for rent from Saturday, December 19, until the following Saturday, December 26. The resort is conveniently located just 2½ miles from Silver Dollar City and only 6 miles from the Branson entertainment strip.

Avoid the summertime crowds and enjoy the slower, winter season in Branson. In addition to shows, there are a number of festivals during the week.

The Shepherd of the Hills Trail of Lights is a 2½-mile Christmas adventure including three-dimensional displays with themed music and story lines. Once you drive onto the property and until you leave, you’ll be in a wonderland that will bring back the magic of Christmas you had as a little child.

The Branson Area Festival of Lights is a community-wide celebration with all of Branson aglow for the hollidays. Special holiday shows, light displays, and spectacular shopping and dining provide all the reasons to celebrate Christmas in Branson.

White Flight at the Butterfly Palace – Thousand of while butterflies flutter like living snow flakes amid a rainforest sparkling with thousands of twinkling lights, while holiday music fills your soul. Simply unforgettable! These breathtaking angels will amaze you with their quiet beauty and joyful peace – and will stun you when they suddenly come to life!

And, of course, don’t miss Santa in Town Square (through the 24th). Santa has his very own 50-foot Christmas treehouse, complete with a cozy fireplace, holiday cheer, and memorable photo opportunities.

Vegas at Christmas?

November 22nd, 2009

We’ve been to Las Vegas several times at Christmas, and we love it! Plenty of shows and small crowds – the perfect Vegas combination.

In addition to the “regular” shows, there are three “special” shows available only during Christmas week. At the time of this writing, all shows had plenty of good seats available. See vegas.com for information about shows, dining, nightlife, gambling, and more.

Cher returns to Ceasars with her fantastic show (we saw it last Christmas) on December 20th only.

Wynona brings her Christmas show to Vegas, also on December 20th.

Jerry Seinfeld is there on December 26th.

The eternal Andy Williams brings his Christmas spectular there on December 23rd and 24th.

If you want to go this year, we have a one-bedroom condo for rent from Sunday, December 20th through the following Sunday, December 27. It’s located near the Strip at the Wyndham Grand Desert, just behind the MGM Grand.
