I'm really into small towns. I adore their beautiful scenery, rich local history, strong community spirit, and deep - seated family heritage. Even though I've traveled far from my small - town origins, I often find comfort in visiting other villages and experiencing their traditions. One of my favorite small towns is McAdenville, North Carolina. This charming town was established in 1881 and developed around a textile mill that supported its residents for over 130 years. In 1956, the people of McAdenville turned their town into a magical place and informally named it 'Christmastown U.S.A.' Every year, along the lovely South Fork River, nearly 400 real trees are decked out with countless twinkling holiday lights. Carolers stroll the streets, wreaths adorn the lampposts, and houses and buildings are all decorated to spread Yuletide cheer. It's a truly magical time in McAdenville, giving lucky onlookers a warm sense of community, home, and the holiday season. My painting, 'The Lights of Christmastown', pays homage to this wonderful small town and its charming holiday tradition. In Christmastown, the festivities of the most wonderful time of the year fill hearts with love and spread lasting joy across the world. May you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
