Blissfield kicks off holiday season of Yuletide Cheer

Welcome to Blissfield, Michigan, home to the Blissfield Yuletide Cheer celebration that begins the second weekend in November every year as Santa makes his first stop in the area that Friday night for an old-fashioned tree-lighting and carol sing.

Yuletide. The very word conjures up visions of sugarplums in an old-fashioned setting; Christmas of yesteryear; candles; holiday cookies; Santa Claus and reindeer; shopping in quaint stores with clerks who handle each item with loving care and each customer with personal attention; the town Christmas tree; hot chocolate; trains. And yes, this year’s event is presented by The Old Road Dinner Train.
