We recently discovered a decades-old Christmas tradition in Henagar, Christmas at Eddie's. Located at Eddie's Garden Center & Florist, it is just a few minutes from the farm and definitely worth a visit! This is the sight that greets you on entering, and it just keeps going through room after room--140 themed trees' worth! There are rooms in red and green, autumn colors, pastels, silver, gold, and every other color imaginable.
Be sure to visit the grotto (creatively made with brown paper grocery bags!) full of nativity scenes.
And don't miss the Redneck Tree! Full of whimsical redneck ornaments, it sits in an old tire with a fan-blade star and jumper cable garland.
Other themed trees include Scouts, Elvis, babies, sports, candy, pets, angels, stars, religious and many others you could never imagine!
You can buy ornaments right off the tree, and Eddie's helpful staff will be glad to help you if you can't find something. They hunted me down (excuse the pun) a duck to commemorate our Jemima Puddleduck who recently died. I also got this Angel Pig in memory of our two dear piggies.
From Leahaven, follow Highway 40 into Henagar. Go straight through the light at Highway 75, and Eddie's is on the right. Their phone is 256/657-3841 if you want to call for hours before you go. Remember, they are on Central time!
