It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Imagine that you and your family have just arrived outside

your Christmas holiday home. Snowflakes dance around your

car during a light snowfall. Shaggy carpets of snow surround

your home. Your children, excited by the sights, ask to be let

out of the car to play in the freshly fallen snow. You oblige

them, and you and your wife step out of the car to get a look

at where you will be staying over Christmas. You have only

just arrived but the two of you immediately know you are in

the right place. Your children are happy, and as you view your

surroundings you, too, are feeling happy inside and enchanted

by the sparkling winter scene. Like a cold drink, you feel what

you are breathing as your lungs become filled with the brash,

clean air. Snow hangs from the trees like torn white sheets and

piles on the roof like a thick white comforter. The mountains

towering nearby are dressed in enormous silky white gowns

and one of your children shrieks with delight as she spies a

line of deer walking across the snow-covered lake. And your

family hasn't even walked in the house yet! So, yeah, you and

your wife agree that this is good.

Approaching your holiday home, you are not quite sure what

to make of things. Are you hearing things or what? There is a

slight melody in the air, which is unexpected and you think

perhaps the car radio is still ringing in your ears. But the

melody gets louder as you get closer to your home and it is

becoming increasingly difficult to deny that something

interesting is going on. As you open the door to your holiday

home, you realize that your home is saying hello to you first by

singing you Christmas carols from your living room stereo.

Nice touch, you think. And your nose is aroused by a distinct

scent of pine. Not from a spray can or floor wash but clean,

pure, and fresh like the real thing. Exploring your home, you

and your family walk into your living room to discover a tall,

robust, freshly cut Christmas tree awaiting your arrival. There

it stands, grand and proud, against a view of snowcast

trees and snowy mountains. Moved by this swirl of sights,

sounds, and scents, your hearts expand as you all suddenly

realize that this IS the real thing. It surely is. Your a family

together at Christmas, and you feel it!

Not only is your holiday home full of the Christmas Spirit, but so is the nearby town of Bigfork

 

*Tale of a Christmas Village*

One snowy morning I arose

To find a Christmas Village

All decked out in Christmas clothes

So dramatically changed from the night before

I marveled at this work of love

By so many special people

Possessed of the Christmas Spirit

Bigfork is a special town

 

It is a town that enchants, relaxes, and arouses playfulness

 

With its sidewalk cafes, fine and casual restaurants and hang outs, speciality shops and boutiques, local artists, art galleries and exhibits, colorfulness, and decorated displays

 

With its acclaimed Broadway musicals performed by the Northwest's finest repertory theatre

 

With its street festivals, fairs, and outdoor concerts

 

And always wonderful Montana hospitality

 

But that is only the beginning

You see, Old Saint Nick dispatched a group of elves into the forests of the Swan Mountain Range, right next to Bigfork

 

Every year, a few days before Thanksgiving, the elves come down from the mountains

 

And dress Bigfork up for Christmas

 

Bigtime, as only Santa's elves can do

 

With the elves leading the way, the town of Bigfork transforms into a Christmas village

 

Like the miniature Christmas villages that warm our hearts and delight our senses

 

But this Christmas village is for real

 

A miniature one all grown up

 

Immersing you and your family into a traditional Currier and Ives scene

 

That has you feel and breathe and live Christmas as you never have before

 

Thousands of Christmas lights, twinkling and dancing in delicate exchange; snow covered streets and roofs; fully decorated shops; horse drawn sleighs jingling down the street; carolers singing and filling the air with songs of love and hope; and Santa's workshop widening the eyes of young children, and the young at heart, with awestruck delight

 

That, together, like a festive symphony, capture your senses and your mind and put you in a different place than you were before

 

A place of wonder and enchantment

Warm feelings and comfort

And togetherness

So come to your holiday home on Montana's Echo Lake, and to Bigfork only minutes away, to fill you and your loved ones with the true Christmas Spirit

 Have a special Christmas that seems to occur only once in a lifetime

Until we say hello again, next year

 

Christmas holiday events begin early in Bigfork. Turkeys are just starting to get nervous in anticipation of their "big day" when Bigfork's schedule of Christmas events typically begins.
