Local Alaska Holiday Stories & Traditions
Tis the season where we all just like to hear some good old fashioned tales of great holidays around Alaska.
The first one is about how the Star of Anchorage was born on the mountains outside of Anchorage. The history behind the Anchorage Star of Lights
The city of Douglas does a tree-lighting ceremony right after Thanksgiving and brings the community together. Christmas begins with songs and lights in Douglas
And what Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a trip to see Santa?? Luckily for Alaskans, we get to see him at the North Pole all year around, but it’s especially wonderful at this time of year. Go Visit Santa Claus House in Fairbanks
What’s better than being in Alaska during the winter? Reading about it cozied up reading a great book by a fire is the next best thing. One book by Debbie Macomber is called Christmas in Alaska, and another one is by Nora Roberts called Northern Lights. Both are great romance/mystery novels that reflect on life in Alaska during the winter.
Sourdough Sam and Sweater Steve had a wonderful holiday working for The Insurance Center…even on snow-plowing day! They did some ziplining, wrapped gifts, helped with Christmas decos, and even learned to work remotely at Casa De Korver. They will be back next year to celebrate the holidays and make them a bit brighter.
