Advent
It’s the holiday season. And, since 2020 has been, well… 2020, Santa is putting everyone on the nice list just for putting up with The Longest Year. Ponies for everyone!
And, when you live on the small Planet B-612, the best place to get in the holiday spirit is the northern mountain town of Tillyland. Let’s see what festivities they have going on this year.
Nothing says Christmas like a ride on the Griswold Family Holiday Train! It’s a family tradition. This year, Cousin Eddie is driving the train.
Katzenzungen Market has a lovely outdoor skating area very festively decorated. Inside, you can warm up with Busscastle hot chocolates and katzenzungen.
This year’s winner of the ice sculpting contest is Roscoe P. Coltrane III, who carved an enormous stag to put you in the holiday spirit. And also to remind you of who is eating your flowers in the garden.
Neighborhood kids built a giant snowman. And I do mean giant! Anything to avoid reading that assignment for literature class!
Santa’s Christmas Village is a hotbed of winter shopping. Lots of little shops, each staffed by elves who like to make toys and other stuff. It’s next door to Tillyland Arena, home to the planet’s only professional ice hockey team. The Ice Cats are hosting the Springfield Isotopes today. The Busscastle Chocolates holiday candy store is (conveniently) across the street, adjacent to Snackasaurus Rex, the snack food store.
You probably heard of those hotels or restaurants or bars made of ice. Ice Capades Chalet is a full-service hotel made entirely of ice. It has several winter sports activities available on site. It’s cool fun that won’t melt your wallet!
Tillyland always has a holiday tree out to make things more festive. And a tree farm so you can bring home the magic with you. Hurry! Buy now while selection is best.
There is skating al fresco and don’t forget snowmobile rentals available if you like outdoor fun. If you skate as well as me, they have skates for rent with training wheels too!
The area looks like a fun place to spend a cold winter’s night out. Be sure to take a lot of selfies by the Festivus Pole in the center of the skating rink!
Need some more natural fun? You can always hang out with the polar bears at Gentle Ben’s Bear World. As you can see, Tillyland has just about everything you could want to get your holidays going… and a great way to kick 2020 to the curb!
