One of the few benefits of traveling for work is that I get to stay in some pretty nice hotels along the way. This week I’m staying at the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville.
I expected them to be “all dressed up” for Christmas, but was surprised when, instead of a larger-than-life Santa Clause and a bunch of rein deer on their very large front lawn, they had a full manger scene, the Bible open to the Christmas Story.
They also had the audible story being told by a low-Southern voice. I still think that Charlie White told it best at COD that is played during our Living Nativity this coming weekend – if you’re in Southern California, you must come see!!!
The best part is that Gaylord Entertainment definitely didn’t have to do this – as I said before, they could have easily had Santa and his sleigh. BUT, they chose to include the real reason for Christmas as part of their celebration. FANTASTIC!
They also had everything in the hotel dressed up too – including the arboretum and a great tree made up of Poinsettias about 20’ tall!
