I have never been to this and my mother wants me to take her, so....


My question is, there are so many events scheduled, what are the "must see/do" events, and what is to be avoided? She is 79, but gets around like a 60 year old, but doesn't like stairs or extended (an hour or more) walking or standing.

Thanks for any advice!

Take a tour of one of the historic mansions. Moody Mansion, Bishops Palace, Ashton Villa, or the Menard House. They decorate them for Christmas and they are so neat to tour. You can also have breakfast at Ashton Villa... we did that last year and it was fun. Also be at the Strand for the parade.
