It's a Charming Life
December 22, 2025

Greetings!

DID YOU KNOW? Charles Dickens was inspired by Washington Irving, author of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and “Old Christmas”, to write “A Christmas Carol”. Irving also majorly influenced the image of jolly St. Nick to become the Santa Claus we recognize today!🎅 You can learn all about it in 2 of our favorite YouTube videos we wanted to share right before the holidays. Come with us on a Victorian Christmas tour through Sleepy Hollow Country, where we are visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and yet to come to teach us how to keep Christmas well. We are truly delighted to have some special guests to bring you the spirit of the season in Sleepy Hollow!

P.S. Please do comment “Keep Christmas Well” so we know you came from here! -Lindsay & Jonas❤️
