Another fun day! Today, FridayDecember 22, 2017, a friend and I drove to Pitman, New Jersey to see the house with the MOST Christmas decorations. This house has been celebrated on tv and in the newspapers, so we decided to see it for ourselves!
If you have never visited Pitman Grove, you SHOULD. It is a historic district of quaint houses that date back to Pitman's early years as a Bible Camp Meeting hub. The Grove auditorium, built in 1882, was recently renovated.
The "most decorated house" was not a disappointment. They had so much stuff, they had to expand into a neighboring yard! The many unusual decorations included Santa's bathroom with Santa in the shower, and exotic figures from around the world.
We had 'panzerotti's" at Attillio's pizzeria on Broadway, and visited all the decorations stores, primitives and country style, as well as the latest Art show at the Pitman Art Center, and the free book give-away at the library in the center of town. Although there were many happy visitors strolling the sidewalks of the main street of Pitman, we had no trouble finding parking right off Broadway.
It was a delightful day and lifted our spirits. The gloomy gray threat of storm weather had us in the dumps, and Pitman cheered us right up again. We went down 47 to get there and came home on 45 to enjoy driving through Woodbury.
Happy Trails! And while you are there, pick up a copy of the Country Register - it is free and has tons of information, recipes, events, and locations of even more fun places to visit. For example in this issue, I discovered some history of cranberries, of holly, and a new antique place called Cawman's Antique Mall, 529 Salem Quentin Rd., Salem, NJ open Wed. through Sun 10 - 5. I plan to go there on my next ramble on the roads of South Jersey.
Merry Christmas!
