Congress Hall’s Tree Arrives

Posted on November 22, 2010 by - Look at This

Congress Hall’s Christmas tree arrived on Friday from a private property in North Cape May on a flat bed truck. A crane was brought in to help place the tree into place as well as lots of man power. The tree is over 30 feet tall.

    My husband and I would like to come to CM during the Christmas season this year. So I hope to see it decorated and lit plus all the other places. Never been to CM during this time, I see there are a lot of tours but does anyone know if most shops are open on the W. Mall (for Christmas presents) at that time on weekends, etc.

    Hi Peggy,

    Cape May at Christmas is very special. The whole Washington Street Mall is decorated and a lot of shops and restaurants will be open, especially on the weekends. Many of the bed and breakfasts will have tours on the weekends, and they have wonderful decorations and many owners dress in festive Victorian clothing. Some of my favorites are the Dormer House, the Henry Sawyer Inn, Congress Hall…there are many beautiful places to see. Some of the churches have Christmas music, and the horse drawn carriages will be decorated with pretty Christmas flowers and sleigh bells. You will have a marvelous time, right up until New Years. Make reservations for restaurants as soon as possible, it gets very busy. I always enjoy Midnight Mass at Our Lady, Star of the Sea…also so beautifully decorated. Enjoy your special time in Cape May at Christmas! Oh, and the Winter Wood Christmas Tree Shop will usually have a sale!! Have a wonderful holiday!

      Elayne, Thanks for the info. Just wanted to make sure I would be able to get Christmas shopping done. I have always wanted to be there at New Years also, maybe another year for that time. Just hope the weather isn't too bad for the travel this year. It all sounds great, thanks again.

    I can't think of a time that it isn't good to be in Cape May. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall; each has its own special offerings to all or any of us who are able to be there. It's heaven on earth, all year round. The nicest shops, shop owners, restaurants and visitors all in one spot. Come on down, it's worth the drive. You will not be disappointed. Happy Holidays to all… On my way to Cape May… See you all there.
