Are you a bona fide holiday junkie? Do youl just love the sparkle of ornaments, the sounds of jingling bells and the aroma of evergreen? Are you already ready for cider and egg nog by October 31? Or perhaps, what with work, school, kids and chores, you need a just little nudge getting into the holiday mood.

Whatever your style, if you love the holidays, you should mark Tuesday, December 4 on your calendar, and begin the season with an Anniston Museum League tradition: the 12th annual Homes for the Holidays.

This self-driving tour of local Anniston area homes decked out for the season is a great way to get into the holiday spirit and to see how others decorate and celebrate. You might just pick up an idea or two for your own home!

Just in time for the Christmas shopping season, Anniston Museum is pleased to present two days of arts, jewelry, crafts and sculpture. Visit the Museum Friday and Saturday, November 11 and 12 during regular Museum hours, and shop the amazing offerings! Winter Market Weekend is an invitational art fair where artisans and craftspeople will show and offer their works for sale to the public. Browse the booths in the Museum auditorium and lobby, meet the artists and talk with them about their work. Pick up one-of-a-kind gifts for family and friends, or treat yourself to something special! Winter Market Weekend is free to browse and is open 10am–5pm. Prices will vary by the piece, but are affordable, and, best of all, completely unique!
