If you’ve ever seen a Norman Rockwell painting, you’ll probably agree that there’s something quite charming about it, especially his Christmas paintings. Alabama is filled with many towns that have loads of charm and could definitely be the subject of a Norman Rockwell painting, especially at Christmastime. One of these towns is Tuscumbia and it comes alive during the holiday season with the annual “It’s a Dickens Christmas Ya’ll” festival. If you ask me, it could easily be one of the best Christmas towns in Alabama. Read all about how the charming town celebrates Christmas and let us know if you agree.
