Christmas comes but once a year. But it does come every year. That means that you get to decide what you most enjoy doing during the holiday season — what will really light up your Christmas bulbs — and then do that over and over and over again. Some people might pull out the leg lamp every year or sing “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” at karaoke. Others would rather play guitar in a Mariah Carey tribute band at their company holiday party. Or make their famous Christmas moonshine punch.
We asked locals to tell us all about what their holiday traditions entail.

Anna lives on a farm with her husband, Peter (aka Farmer Pete) and their rabbits, chickens and three goats: Yodel, Star and Dosie. “We like our goats, and our goats like us,” she says.
