There is a Christmas eve tradition in this area. Started by the man in whose house I now live. They say that he remembered the Christmas carollers coming to every house. In the small town back East where he grew up.

So every year, Christmas carollers traverse Flannigans hill. In a horse drawn carriage. Or in years like this when there is fresh snow on the ground, the horses pull a sleigh.

Both carriage and sleigh old and beautiful. Bought somewhere back East and shipped here, by the lonely widower who endowed the Christmas Carol Journey of Flannigans Hill.
