Country Roads Christmas: A Memorable, Meaningful Way to Shop

These days, holiday shopping usually involves a click or a call or a frenzied trip to the mall. But for one weekend each year, 17 small businesses in North Central Massachusetts offer an alternative to meaningless modern shopping rituals. If you're ready to rediscover the joys of holiday shopping, make plans now to participate in the Country Roads Christmas tour on December 1 and 2. I've got a preview of the warm and welcoming shops you'll visit in this photo tour.
