Holiday Whimsy

Santa Hat, Meeting Street, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved



Travel and Leisure magazine recently named Charleston among the top 5 places in the world to spend the holidays. The historic Southern city was noted by the editors for its unique Lowcountry twist on Christmas. If the Santa hat on this colonial mansion's cupola is any indication, a holiday in Charleston will not soon be forgotten!

    How imaginative! Wonder who did the decoration...must have been agile. What other 4 cities made the list in the magazine? Hope I can find the article on the internet.

    Isn't that the Betsy Ross flag, D?
    So tell me which star represents SC?
    The 5 o'clock one?
    I'm intrigued now!

    A wonderfully imaginative addition to the external decor - and shot with your usual panache.
