The Murfreesboro Historical
Association
Cordially Invites You To Our
21st Annual
Candlelight Christmas Tour
In Historic Murfreesboro
December 7 & 8, 2006
(Thursday & Friday) 4:00 p.m.—8:30 p.m.
‘Twas The Night Before
Christmas — 2006 Candlelight Christmas Theme
You’re sure to
encounter a visit from St. Nicholas while attending Historic
Murfreesboro’s 21st annual Candlelight Christmas tour. The citizens
of Historic Murfreesboro are adding all the trimmings to make this
holiday event a life-long Christmas memory. In fact, every guest
will receive a special Christmas gift from the jolly elf’s sack.
Clement Moore’s poem will come to life with visions of sugar plums,
a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer, stockings hung by the
chimney, and, of course, the jolly old elf himself. Along the way,
carolers will lift their voices in joyful song, and the sounds of
clarinet, harmonica, dulcimer, and handbells will usher in the
Christmas spirit.
This holiday event
will include a delicious dinner of traditional foods and treats. A
delicious bowl of Carolina seafood bisque is a must and a slice of
savory, locally cured, country ham. A literal groaning board of
cakes and sweetmeats of every description will assure an evening of
dining fit for a king! Horse-drawn carriage and tram rides in the
Historic District are also included in the bill of fare.
So, don’t delay, make
plans now to experience “Twas the Night Before
Christmas.” Individuals, families, civic organizations, and church
groups are afforded an opportunity to recapture the spirit of
Christmas in an unique and satisfying way. And every year we welcome
back more and more friends who have made Candlelight Christmas in
Historic Murfreesboro a tradition.
But I heard him exclaim,
‘ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
