    Madrid Makes
    Christmas Magic
    MADRID HAS FINALLY been officially designated as NEW MEXICO'S CHRISTMAS TOWN.
    I would like to congratulate all of the residents and shops that went all out this year to make Madrid even more magical this holiday season. The Christmas spirit abounds!
    I have had a shop in Madrid for 17 years and have never seen such lighting magic here as Christmas approaches. Even some of the old traditions (from the historic coal mining days) of decorating the hills that nestle Madrid, have been resurrected. It is truly worth a stroll down Main Street at dusk and celebrate with us, not only the 25th annual Christmas Open House for the next three weekends but also the title of New Mexico's Christmas Town.
    Happy Holidays!
