I’m not sure it’s okay to pick a favorite but Christmas in Fredericksburg- and the surrounding small towns like Comfort, make this podcast near and dear to our hearts! Join us as we chat with our dear friend and a person very much behind all the beauty in our town center of Marktplatz.

Learn the history behind the vision of our Christmas Traditions here- and why we still say “Merry Christmas “ across Main Street & in our hearts.

It all had to start somewhere and our incredible guest Kathy Gutierrez is a great story teller and a grand historian of Christmastime here.

We also touch on our new special evenings for our locals- this special event is aptly named Third Thursdays- where our shops and restaurants stay open later and offer specials or special evenings and events with our locals in mind as we roll into the holiday.

Learn about our Christmas Pyramid, our 3 story Christmas Tree our Manger and the Christmas spirit that brings it all together for families!

And if you know people who know people, ask them to bring back the yummy cookies and the contest to flip the switch on our beautiful and beloved Christmas Pyramid the first night!

Be sure to plan to attend our annual Light The Night parade and the always wonderful Christmas parade in Comfort this year-

Thank you to my talented podcast partner JD Rose and to our very special guest, Kathy Gutierrez, for making our first episode of Season 3 extra extra special!
