"Christmas was close at hand, in all his bluff and hearty honesty; it was the season of hospitality, merriment, and open- heartedness..."
~ The Pickwick Papers,
by Charles Dickens
Only two more weekends remain this holiday season to discover the heart of the holidays at The Great Dickens Christmas Fair & Victorian Holiday Party!
