For the second year in a row The Christmas House will co-sponsor Deck the Halls in the "12 Wine Days of Christmas". Located just 30 minutes south of the Trail, in Elmira, New York, The Christmas House is a very popular, incredibly unique destination specializing in a wide variety of holiday-themed retail items from an array of manufacturers. A visit to their shop is worth the drive and experience with everything you'll see.
