The shops were all closed that day, a Thursday, except for the Christmas Shop where I found the perfect gift for my daughter's upcoming birthday. It was a matchbox music box with a little train going around a track inside the drawer. I admit I didn't buy it at the moment because I thought it might be less expensive to buy it by amazon.com an have it shipped by them to my daughter's address, however, I couldn't find just the right one on amazon.com and the price was much higher and so was the shipping, so I will be heading back to the shop tomorrow when they are open again to buy it in person.
So here are some Holiday Events:
First, at Mill Race Village:
Dec. 13th 11 a.m. - Rancocas Valley Chamber Choir
December 13 - Battle of Iron Works Hill- Mt. Holly
Second, at Historic Smithville Park, 803 Smithville Rd., Eastampton, Nj 08060
Dec. 7 12 to 6 p.m. - Victorian Holiday Celebration (this includes St. Nicholas arriving by horse and carriage, entertainment, shopping, mansion tours and refreshments for sale)
If you are looking for ways to get in the holiday spirit, here's your chance, and if you are looking for that something special for a Christmas gift, try the Spirit of Christmas Shop in the Mill Race shops, but be sure to ccall first at 609-518-1700 to make sure they are open. They are closed on Mondays as I found out this week.
