BUCKHANNON – Christmas Around the World brought joy and excitement to all of Upshur County children who visited downtown Buckhannon to participate in a Christmas scavenger hunt, Crypt A Gram contest and visit with Santa, Mrs. Claus, the Grinch and Cindy Lou Who.
They were treated to cookies, cake, apple cider and tea to keep them refreshed as they walked Main Street visiting businesses who had decorated trees representing Austria, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Russia and Spain.
Completing their tour, they journeyed back to Santa’s Headquarters to drop off their completed forms and stuff their ticket indicating their favorite tree, into the proper box. Of course, getting to visit Santa and whisper their secret Christmas wishes brought smiles to all their faces.
