Cape May’s historic homes sparkle for the holidays during the 39th Annual Christmas Candlelight House Tours, sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC).
Tour-goers board heated trolleys and visit as many as 15 homes, inns, hotels and churches, beautifully decorated for the holiday season.
Along the way, carolers and strolling musicians inspire good old-fashioned Christmas cheer, and hospitality centers offer warm beverages and traditional holiday treats.
The 39th Annual Christmas Candlelight House Tours are Saturdays, Dec. 1, 8 and 15 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Admission is $25 for adults and $20 for children (ages 3-12) and includes entry to the 1879 Emlen Physick Estate, Cape May’s only Victorian House Museum at 1048 Washington St., authentically decorated for a Victorian Christmas, and to “An Old-fashioned Christmas” exhibit in the Carriage House Gallery on the grounds of the Estate, as well as continuous shuttle service on heated trolleys.
A full schedule of house and trolley tours, ghost tours, and food and wine events to share with family and friends will inspire you all the way to Jan. 1, 2013.

Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
