Several months ago, we installed something pretty cool here at the hotel – two charging stations for electric vehicles!
We’re always looking for opportunities to be a “greener” property. If you see something green that you think might work for our guests, please drop me a line about it.

Charles Huffam Dickens was born on February 7th, 1812. Many of you have had the opportunity to meet Gerald Charles Dickens, his great-great-grandson, at The Inn at Christmas Place. In the past two years, he has performed his one-man enactment of one of Charles’ most famous tales, “A Christmas Carol,” at our hotel each November. We’re really hoping he’ll fit us into his performance schedule again in this momentous year!
Gerald Charles Dickens, great-great-grandson of Charles Dickens
Gerald has been honored with two very special invitations to kick off the celebrations. This Tuesday, he’ll participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at Charles Dickens’ burial site in Westminster Abbey, followed by a grand banquet at Mansion House, home of the Lord Mayor of the City of London.
Then, on February 14th, he’s been invited to a reception in honor of his great-great-grandfather at Buckingham Palace, hosted by Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh – a singular honor.
We join fans everywhere in congratulating Gerald on these honors, and wishing him a grand year of celebrating his family member’s history and legacy!
Stay tuned for information about a 2012 appearance with us at The Inn.

About 2 weeks ago, our floral designer Dori showed me this beautiful custom wreath she created for a guest for Valentines. Isn’t it gorgeous? White willow wreath decorated with velvet magnolias and heart ornaments, ribbon, and greenery. What an elegant decoration for a home or business.
If you’d like to give it a go yourself, we have the ornaments, flowers, wreath, & ribbons on our site:
All you need to add is the hot glue, hard work, and creativity! Or, you could call Dori. I think I’d call Dori.
