Naptown Midnight Madness

A few years ago, the city of Annapolis started Midnight Madness on the Thursdays leading up to Christmas.  As a fan of all things Annapolis, let me just tell you this may be my favorite thing the city has ever done.  All of the shops are open late, serving hot chocolate and cookies.  There are bands playing Christmas music and carolers making the rounds.  And there are Christmas lights EVERYwhere - over the streets and in the windows.  There's even a Snowflake Alley covered in snowflake lights (obviously.)

Everything is just so festive and fun.  And it's a great opportunity to get some last minute Christmas shopping in.  However, most shops are chock full of people and that's just too much pressure, so there's not much shopping done for me.  But it pretty much is the best place to get in the Christmas spirit!
