Mahoney’s Garden Center in Winchester (the big one!) is holding a Christmas Tree Creations Seminar on Saturday, December 4, beginning at 11 am. Fact is, most people find decorating for the holidays confusing and a bit overwhelming. That’s why Mahoney’s holiday hottie (their words, not mine) Peter Vera has created this special seminar. Learn the secret to proper tree lighting, ornament hanging, decor collections and much more. Peter will also give designer tips on how to add complementary decorations to your collection. Free, but you should register beforehand at www.mahoneysgarden.com.

It’s Historic Salem’s 65th anniversary, and Christmas in Salem’s 30th holiday house tour. What better way to mark these milestones than with a Christmas house tour that includes historically significant sites on or near this year’s route, which is centered around the Salem Common neighborhood.
Christmas in Salem will indeed be bigger and better than ever, starting with this website to let you know all about tour features in advance. And there’s lots to share, including information about other holiday events taking place in Salem. Christmas in Salem is more than a house tour…it’s an entire month of fabulous holiday fun. For questions and more information, call 978-745-0799, or email info@HistoricSalem.org. Photo below of Salem Common courtesy of Trip Mason Photography.
