Most families have certain traditions that they do each holiday season. My wife and I take our kids to see the Kiwanis Holiday Lights in Mankato every year. Unfortunately, that event won't happen this year because of the pandemic so we've been searching for something to replace that annual experience.

While looking online, I found two things that I think all families should check out before Christmas. I wrote about the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum's 'Winter Lights' attraction a few weeks ago and last night I discovered Sam's Christmas Village in Somerset, Wisconsin.  Keep scrolling to see pictures from each of these attractions, which both happen to be about 90-minutes from Rochester.
