The Mountain State is one of the best places in the world to spend Christmas. Here are just some of the reasons why:
We have a lot of Christmas lights displays here.
Joanne C Sullivan/Flickr Oglebay Resort in Wheeling is just one of them. There’s also Fairmont, St. Albans, Ripley, and the list goes on…
- It’s gonna snow!
Joanne C Sullivan/Flickr (At least we can hope.)
- West Virginians can get really into decorating for the holidays.
Jason Means/Flickr Like this family home in South Charleston.
- We have unique Christmas festivals
General Adam Stephen House/Facebook Like Colonial Christmas at the General Adam Stephen House in Martinsburg.
- Even the shopping malls are festive.
Katherine Like the Town Center Mall in Charleston.
- There’s nothing better than picking out and chopping your own Christmas tree.
Berry Fork Enterprises/Facebook (Like at Berry Fork Enterprises in Heaters.)
- We have lots of churches to celebrate in, if you’d like.
Forestwander.com Probably one on every corner in most towns.
- We’ve got fun parades (lots of them).
Ed Kennedy/Flickr This one is the Beckley Christmas parade a few years ago.
- There’s nothing like a home-cooked West Virginia meal.
Manfried + Barbara Aulbach/Flickr Yum!
- Christmas means winter and winter means skiing.
