The Enchanted Village at the Cape Codder Resort & Spa on Cape Cod is a delightful free attraction that delivers a healthy dose of Christmas nostalgia for anyone who cherishes the simple magic of old-fashioned holiday displays. After a December 2008 visit to the 9th annual Enchanted Village with my six-year-old, I'm pleased to report that light sculptures, giant snowmen, twinkling trees and reindeer with bobbing heads can still mesmerize a child, even when her wish list includes a Nintendo DS.
For 2009, the Cape Codder has an Enchanted Village package available through December 23, but you don't have to be a hotel guest to stop by if you're in Hyannis during the holiday season this year. Carolers and Santa appear on weekends December 4-20, and the lights will be up through January 2, 2010. Bring a new toy, gift card or food donation if you can. Last year, the Cape Codder collected more than $10,000 in donations for Independence House.
