Thank you so much for watching and for commenting!

We really appreciate your kind comment. And we are glad that this video was something that you were able to enjoy, and that it brought back memories of Gatlinburg for you. That's what makes it all worth it.

@@NCMemoryMakers Going through a tough patch right now. Surviving by God's Abundant Grace. I hope to be able to return to Pigeon Forge soon. God Bless!

I can see hospital workers, law enforcement officers, and those who truly have to be on duty, working on holidays. But restaurants and stores should close and let their employees be with their family, or spend the day however they wish. I completely agree with you. I am not aware of a model train store there, but there may be one.

Yes, it really is beautiful that time of year. The snow just added to that.

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comments. We love doing Christmas videos, as well. Especially when there's snow, like in this video.

You are very welcome. Hope you get to go soon!

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you so much for watching, and for your kind words! I hope you have a wonderful trip, and get to see some snow.

me too!!!

Yes, they are very beautiful. So glad you had a great trip, and thank you for watching our videos and letting us know you enjoy them.

Yes, that certainly was a beautiful evening, both downtown and at your cabin. Hard to beat a Christmas Eve snowfall.

Enjoy your trip! Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you get a white Christmas this year, like last year was.

These Villag is a Village! THX!

So glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for your kind words. We appreciate you watching.

First, let me say that we am so very sorry for your loss. Your family will be in our prayers. I am glad that our video brought some comfort in such a sad time for you. I think surprising your wife with a trip like this, would be a great idea. Sometimes its good to just get away, and like you said, clear your minds. We also posted another video on Christmas Day last year, where we went just went on a beautiful drive through the snow covered Tennessee countryside. It was on the same trip as this one. Wasn't sure if you might like it, as well. It was a beautiful drive. It is called "White Christmas In Sevier County, TN".

In addition to Gatlinburg, 2 other places that have great Christmas lights, are Dahlonega, Georgia and Helen, Georgia. We were just there last weekend, and are heading back to Gatlinburg next weekend. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

And thank you for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed it.

And thank you for your kind and encouraging words. We appreciate it.

Thank you for the nice comment. We're in Gatlinburg regularly, so hopefully our paths will cross soon.

Thank you so much for watching, and for your kind words. We will be uploading some videos next week from our trip to Florida. That's where we are now.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

Awesome! Have a great trip!

Thank you for watching, and for your kind comments. That certainly was a beautiful time to be there at Christmas, wasn't it?

Thank you very much for watching, and for your encouraging words. We really appreciate it! I hope you enjoy our other videos, as well.

Yes, it was beautiful!

Merry Christmas to you, as well. And thanks for watching!

It certainly is a beautiful place, and especially in the snow!

Thank you you for watching, and for your kind words. Hope you and Brother James are doing well.

Thank you! It certainly is, and especially in the snow on Christmas Eve!

Yes, it's a beautiful place. We were just there this past weekend. Fall and winter are especially nice.

We actually did. It's a bit into the video because of the traffic, but that's why I titled it "Drive/walk through". We parked, got out, and walked the town. Start watching about the 20:40 mark. I even put text on the screen, that says "Time to get out and walk". In addition, we have several hiking videos posted, as well. We actually love to walk.

There is plenty to do in the winter time. You might want to consider Ober Gatlinburg, which you can either take the cable car from town up to the top, or you can drive up and pay a small fee to park. There is a really nice chair lift which takes you up to the top, and the views are extraordinary...Especially if there is snow. It can be a cold ride up, though. Nearly everything is open during the winter months, so the possibilities are endless. There is the Sky Bridge, which is pretty nice, but not cheap. Its something to do once or twice, like maybe to see it in the fall, and then again in the snow. One of our favorite things to do in the winter, is ride up into the National Park when there is snow. Be aware the National Park road closes during snow, but usually re-opens in a day or two. Pigeon Forge literally has endless shows and entertainment possibilities, with many Christmas themed shows in the winter. Not sure what you were referring to as being a church. If you meant Christ Memorial Gardens, it was not a church, but an attraction. It is now closed down.

The shops are open through the holidays, but many do close on Christmas day, which is fine with us. We are generally in Gatlinburg that time of year, and we simply make it a point not to eat out on Christmas Day. We get plenty of food for what we will need through that day. Most everything is open Christmas Eve, and the day after Christmas. And yes, some restaurants do remain open on Christmas Day.

It can happen, but it may not. Gatlinburg gets some snow every winter, but just not always at Christmas. The good thing about it, is that you have the Great Smoky Mountains, and the higher elevations get much more snow than in town. So, even if there's none in town, there may be some higher up. We've gone every year at Christmas for over 20 years, and we've seen white Christmases, and some where there was no snow.

Snow is possible anytime from December through early March. I have seen it in November. But that's not often.

Not that I know of.

I won't say it's never happened, but it is a very rare occurrence. The worst thing that ever happened to this area, was the wildfires of 2016. Now, I would imagine there could be tornadoes in Central and Western Tennessee, because it's flatter there. You do not really hear of them much in the mountainous areas.

This was the Christmas Eve snowfall. Gatlinburg, and the entire area, had a white Christmas

@@NCMemoryMakers I would like go there on December but I want to go and see the snow ⛄️ what do you recommend me?

@@mauricioortiz9253 snow is hard to predict in Gatlinburg, because it's at the foot of the mountains. We were very blessed to see it this time. While it does snow there every winter, your best bet would be in January to see some. If you go up into the mountains, there is a lot more snow a lot more often. You can see snow in the higher mountains from November through April, but in Gatlinburg, mainly the end of December through February or early March. If you can be flexible for when you take your trip, just be watching the forecast and plan it when there's supposed to be snow. This past winter, they had quite a bit.

I agree. Even though we were up there on Christmas Day, we had bought enough food prior, that we ate in the room. We have a principle about eating out on those days, and we feel those employees should have those days with their families. We went on a nice scenic drive that day, but did not shop or eat out. And yes, Gatlinburg has changed over the years. I still remember it when I was a kid...much more family friendly. Today, its been taken over by the moonshine stores.

I like colored lights better, too.
