What are some unique ways to celebrate Christmas in South Carolina?

While viewing Christmas lights is a lot of fun and probably the most common Christmas experience, there are others that provide a little something different for the holiday season. RiverOaks in Awendaw, an outdoor German Christmas market is a unique event where you can enjoy delicious food and wonderful music and shop handmade German gift items. Another unique experience that also provides a way to celebrate the reason for the season is the Singing Christmas Tree in charming Georgetown. In Greenville, you can go ice skating at the Ice on Main rink set up during the holiday season and see a different type of lights event at The Roper Mountain Holiday Laser Light Show.
