Hello Thursday! Chelsea here.

This time of year always has such a magical vibe for me. I’m lucky in that I grew up in a family that made our holidays feel so special and I carry that nostalgia into December every single year. One of my favorite things to do as both a lover of Christmas and a history nerd is to visit some spectacular Christmas towns and villages. From Victorian-era villages to a bonafide Christmas ranch, there’s a lot of fun to be had out there.

This Insane Toboggan Chute In Northern Ohio Takes Sledding To New Heights 🛷
While we might have only had flurries here in Columbus, Cleveland’s already had a gorgeous snowfall. And the very best way to take advantage of that is to go flying down the side of the hill on a toboggan. Seriously, how fun does this sound?
