From Southern Travel + Lifestyles:
Skip the crowded cities, and spend your Christmas in one of the South’s most festive small towns – your inner Scrooge will thank you. Take a drive to a sweet town that outwardly displays a love of the seasons, and you’ll be guaranteed to leave all your “Bah humbug!” at home. These Southern towns have some of the mildest weather in the country during the winter season, which makes Christmas (or Hanukah) shopping delightful.
