All I Want for Christmas 2011 is a Ticket to California

Since it's too late to go this year, I figure this gives my family plenty of time to save.

Earlier this month, Nevada City, a historic gold rush town, featured its 31st Victorian Christmas, For three nights and two afternoons, Nevada City closes its streets to all motorized traffic and costumed characters straight from Bryony's time recreate a time long past. Offerings include carriage rides, minstrels, street entertainment, period food and speciality gifts straight from the city's nineteenth century shops. Photos at the site below.
