Plan Your Storybook Christmas in Madison

A Classic Hometown Christmas

     In 1945, Hollywood coined the phrase “Christmas in Connecticut” after the movie of the same name. (My absolutely Favorite Christmas Movie!)

    Since that time, romanticists around the world have dreamed of spending at least one winter holiday in a quaint Connecticut hamlet complete with a town common crowned with freshly fallen snow and carolers strolling by storefronts and elder homes.

   The scene now depicted in your mind’s eye is not just a figment from a Currier and Ives print – it actually exists – and travel photojournalists Wayne and Judy Bailiff found it. Right here, in Madison CT.

   Read their entire article and enjoy a 20-photo slide show of Judy's photos HERE.

   Then call (203-245-8457) or email us to book Your Christmas In Connecticut weekend with us this December 1st and 2nd, 2012. That's the weekend this year when all that you just read about begins. 

   Thank you, Wayne and Judy, for capturing the heart and essence of Christmas in Madison CT.

Come, step “through the looking glass” into a classic home-town Christmas.

    Shop local boutiques amid strolling carolers, be amazed at the talent of local young dancers as they tell the story of Christmas, join young and old as they await the arrival of Santa, and sing carols at the evening tree lighting on the town green. Perhaps even take in a local Christmas concert or buy a fresh-cut tree to bring home. This two-night package (Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday) includes two nights lodging, possibly with a fireplace, full breakfast each morning, tickets to “Ahavah” the story of a young girl’s search for the meaning of Christmas, performed by the Christian Academy of Dance, a schedule of the weekend’s local tree-lighting events for you to choose, a gift certificate for a dinner or brunch (you choose) at one of our favorite local restaurants, a gift card to Madison Chocolates for a special dessert, a Christmas in Connecticut ornament and a DVD of the 1945 film, “Christmas in Connecticut” starring Barbara Stanwyck. All-inclusive package begins at $490.00 plus CT occupancy taxes.
