I ordered a personalized ornament on eBay and this is the business that sent the ornament. Fast service, check,! I ordered the ornament that was going to be personalized with the year, first names, and last name. That same day I received a notice that the order had been shipped. What! Maybe the company didn't get my special instructions for the personalization. Wrong, I received the ornament two days later and it was PERFECT! High quality, light weight, appropriate size, clear personalization was exactly what I received. After getting the ornament I went to their website and identified a number of ornaments that are on my wishlist. If I were independently wealthy I have dreamt of all the ornaments I would order. I do plan to order at least one more ornament for this year. I have always collected an annual ornament from Hallmark but now I'm going to add an appropriate personalized ornament each year from A Christmas Shoppe.

For something to do on Easter Sunday besides twiddle our thumbs in quarantine, she gifted us some painting kits from here. It was such a great time!! I'm not an artist by any means, but I enjoy painting. I'm not too great at it on my own, but thankfully these kits were easy to use and came with all of the colors you need. Not to mention, there are so many different designs to choose from! I picked out a sunflower and my fiance got the American flag mason jar. It made us feel so productive, and now we have a couple cute things to hang on our door! Normally they do painting sessions, which I would love to check out someday. If you're in need of a place to find a cool gift, or just something fun to do on your own, Chelle Belle's is a great option.

The entire place is dripping in holiday decor of every theme, color, and material - you will be inspired and leave smiling.

Like a lot of mall Santa setups they go with the easily identifiable name of Santa workshop. And whole Jefferson mall may be considered the worst mall in Lousiville they have traditional have and continue to have the best Santa meet and greet experience. I've taken my kids here for the last decade plus and this is even where I went as a youngster to meet Santa. Not sure why or how but they always have the most authentic, nicest and legit feeling Santa clauses. They always have a nice extravagant setup in the middle or ends of the mall and they offer fair holiday picture prices along with cool decorative frames and things. However if you just want to meet Santa then you can do that for free with no strings attach. Long time and fun tradition for my family and many other local Lousiville families. One of my favorite memories is a few years ago they had a Santa who played the guitar and sand sing alongs with mj kids and my nephews and niece. We visited on a early December weekday after school and nobody else was there so the Santa took the time and created a life long memory for all the kids. Which is what the holiday season is all about.

My (almost) 16 & 11 yr old sons humor me every year. Our experience was great too. With no reservation, we only waited through 3-4 families and it was quick. You can book a time in advance; however, with Christmas almost here their last 2 days will be walk-up only. The young guys working the entrance and check out were helpful with questions and friendly. The photographer was too, encouraging me to get additional shots because I'd be able to download all the shots digitally. Only one package offered this year. Quite a few printed and all other digitally. I got a text within 30 minutes telling me the shots were ready. Love these memories!

Highview holiday fest is an annual Christmas/holiday event held at the community of highview in…read moreLousiville Kentucky court house and park next door. It kicks off with an actual event that usually includes a horse drawn carriage, Santa clause visits and holiday and seasonal games inside the court house. Then at night fall they light up a walking path in the park with all kinds of cool holiday lights. After the initial event they still light the lights on the path every night all the way to the end of the year. This event and viewing the lights the rest of the season is completely free and doing either or both is always a lot of fun. When me and my family use to live in the highview area we would go to the original kickoff holiday fest. But even in years we can't make that fun event we still visit the highview holiday fest and walk the path with all the lights. We enjoy it so much that sometimes we will hit it up 2-3 times a year. Very fun and cool holiday tradition. In that same 2-3 mile vicinity there are 3 other super cool holiday lights to view. There is toyland Christmas and the blue lights show on the other side of outer loop and then back behind the park off fagenbush is a house on green manor that has a workout. Santa clause roller coaster. So if your looking for a fun night of holiday lights viewing this is a great place to start.

This completely free event has a entrance and a exit point. You line up for the entrance and drive slowly through the light show which features everything from classical holiday designs, characters and figures to pop culture decorations such as super hero's or popular tv characters. The closer you get to Christmas the longer the lines will be. Especially on a Friday or Saturday night. I take my family through here every few years as it's a decent haul from Lousiville. We try and go on an early December weekday night so it is t very crowded and then we go into town and find a place to dine (we always seem to end up at the cool wicked eye woman). Overall This a free, cool and large holiday lights display. Perfect to put anyone or any family in the holiday spirits. Great job by the folks of Elizabethtown and freeman lake park for hosting This event annually.

Apparently there is a hidden pumpkin but we weren't told until near the end. It was interesting to see how they repurposed items from the Halloween event. We were disappointed they didn't have any merch to buy at the end. We had hoped to buy an ornament. Overall it is cute for a date night but definitely not as spectacular as the Halloween event.

The winter woods spectacular is a annual holiday lights event held in Iroquois park in Lousiville…read moreKentucky. You enter in at the new cut road and southern parkway entrance. When you hit the fork you take a left down the "one way". There is suppose to be a guy flagging or waving you on but on our visit he just sat there so we thought he was telling us to not go that way and we ended up taking a 3 mile detour through the park and and circling around. You can buy tickets at the main entrance booth once you go the right way or you can purchase online. The online pre purchase is recommended because evidently they can sell out. Pricing is pretty high. It is $35 a car load. I will say this. It's is very pretty and cool but extremely repetitive. You drive very slowly through a wooded trail for a mile or so. The woods is decorated with ginger bread house facades and other holiday type buildings. They have a lot of fake stained glass Christmas's decor of popular Christmas figures, movie/tv stars and cartoons. They have Christmas music playing in different sections throughout. At the very end they do have a cool Ferris wheel penguin decoration that leads you into a beautiful tunnel of lights you drive under. Which is the highlight of the visit. Overall I can say me and the kids finally experienced this. The workers here all kinda had a bad attitude and seemed lazy. Which I get it. It's cold and nobody likes working during the holidays. But if you are charging $35 a carload for Christmas fun then maybe act like you want to be there. As mentioned the decorations were very lovely and pretty. But we all was disappointed in how repetitive it was. They could of really broke it off in sections and each section having a different theme or decor style and it would be immensely better. I'm not sure we will come back unless major changes are made. I'm glad we finally did and seen this yearly attraction. However, if every year is exactly the same it just isn't worth seeing twice. There is all kinds of cool free light shows in Lousiville that offers more variety.
