The Old Fashioned Christmas is scheduled for Thursday, December 1^st from 5 to 7pm.  Each business will be responsible for planning their own open house that evening.  Judging for the Christmas Light Contest is set for Tuesday, December 13^th and the kids Christmas movie is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, December 15^th.
