Although the bulk of our visitors travel to Cape Island in the summer months, the Christmas holiday season is a favorite of both locals and visitors. And what would you expect from a Victorian town? We do not roll up the carpet Labor Day but do our best to honor the spirit of a Charles Dickens Christmas and to embrace all that is wonderful about living in a small town. We know many of you cannot visit at this time, so travel with us, if you will, as we give you a glimpse of our Christmas Island. From all of us at CapeMay.com, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
It was a Winter Wonderland at Congress Hall which included train rides for the kids.
Fond memories of this hotel in 1964. I worked my first hotel job here & went on to a career in the industry. The staff quarters were along (Congress?) Street…with the women on the top floor and the men underneath on the second floor. I was the Midnight to 8 AM Bellman & stood my post at the elevator in the lobby until about 3 AM…then had to mop that entire 1st floor…all the marble…every night! Loved it! Carl McIntyre bought the property that winter (Coincidently, he baptized me as a baby) and I returned to work at The Windsor, across the street, for quite a few summers in the 60's.
Christmas in Cape May is beautiful !!!
