Love love love this place! Oh how my heart misses you! And the owners and employees (Im sorry I forget your names). I love Victorian homes and all things Christmas, what a great combo for some one like me. I wanted to just hang out all day as it was like a piece of heaven. I look forward to when Im back in the area and can go back!

Wow. So many Christmas items. This place was wonderful. From the exterior house to all the Christmas villages, Halloween town, Christmas ornaments, nativity scenes. This place has a little of everything for someone. And the people here are attentive and nice.

This amazing locally owned shop is full of ornaments, Christmas collectibles, nutcrackers, incense smokers, local and regional foods, gifts, clothing and more. Its all housed in a beautiful Victorian painted in multiple colors. The owners, Mark & Julie, are friendly, helpful, and really connected to the community.

Much MORE Than Just Christmas DecorationsPleasantly surprised with selection, quality, and friendly service. One would think that this is a Christmas decoration shop. It is, and it is much more. My visit in September included Halloween decorations too. I would imagine that every holiday would be featured as well. More than just ornaments, are hundreds of nice gifts for any occasion.I was interested in flickering candle like bulbs. They had a string of seven.Ample parking.There is a ramp, but it may be difficult to maneuver in a wheelchair.Im sure children are welcome, but they MUST be on their BEST behavior!Recommend a visit!

I visited this shop as a little girl from Ireland in the summer of 1990! I bought a snowflake ornament and a glass fairy for the tree. I still have the fairy! Such a beautiful shop, something of which I had never seen before. It remains one of my memories of my time in America in the summer of 1990!

This place is open all the time and whether its the middle of June or December it feels like Christmas. Every tree has its own unique theme. The ladies who work at this place are so sweet and helpful. They can navigate the house Im sure with eyes closed and still find you the ornament you need. They have recently started to include ornaments from local crafters too and they are so cool.

Christmas is my favorite time of the year and it would not be Christmas without stopping by to see Julie and Mark and all the beautiful decorations. I love that Julie has enlarge her variety of items that she sells and is so current with the times of today. A cooling thought on our hot summer days we have been experiencing!

Many rooms of pretty ornaments, good prices, but so much is made out of resin these days. There are also lots of glass ornaments and other gifts. Unfortunately, they do Not provide gift boxes even if you purchase fragile glass ornaments. Definitely worth a visit, but wouldnt go very far out of my way. Fun.

Beautiful old house that has become a shop to sell all Christmas items, maybe a few other choices too😉! Beautiful rooms decorated with items to make your own gorgeous tree or displays, or buying a gift for family and friends!! Very nice owner, who shared how she lives in the upper most level now. Great that they are keeping this old Victorian house in great shape! Stop in and shop a while when you are in the area!!

Also offering a wide selection of cozy (gloves, socks, scarves, shawls, mittens) and miscellaneous (kitchen gadgets, marinades & dip mixes, books, NY state & Elmira local, jewelry, trinkets) gifts for many tastes.The owners are on site as well as the very friendly staff.

The Christmas House has provided my family with quality Christmas decorations for years. This year has been the most disappointing but Im going to chalk it up to late arrival. I overheard an employee explain that they had already been cleaned out for the season. I hope to visit in the future to continue our annual Christmas ornament purchase.
