Hello from Thousand Hills Concierge in beautiful Branson, Missouri and Happy New Year. We are excited about the upcoming year and everything it has to offer.

In 2012 Branson Missouri will be saying Happy 100^th Birthday. Incorporated April 1, 1912 with the opening of a temporary history museum at the intersection of Main Street and Business 65, but the history of settlers and visitors coming to the Ozarks goes back more than a half century before that. From the Marvel Cave to Branson’s first families of entertainment the Bald Knobber’s to the opening of Silver Dollar City in 1960 from December 8, 1991 when 60 minutes proclaimed Branson as the “Live Music Capital of the World” to the opening of the 420 million dollar Branson Landing, Branson has surely seen it all.

Also announced for the 2012 season the entertainment show SIX will be performing at the Mickey Gilley Theater, the vocal group Cat’s Pajamas playing at the Andy Williams Moon River Grill and the Haygoods family moving to the RFD Theater located on the World Famous Hwy 76, Branson MO has so much excitement to look forward to!

Thankful For a Branson Christmas

Branson Christmas time is just wonderful. This is such a generous and loving community with lots of organizations and churches who assist during these tough economic times.  Everywhere you go you hear Christmas greetings and the sound of the Salvation Army bell ringing and then I enjoy a quite drive home on a clear cold night after the hustle and bustle of the day.  Last night while I was enjoying all the bright twinkling lights it reminded me of when I worked for Silver Dollar City and after a busy night and the guest are gone walking the quiet city street enjoying the light display.  Local businesses stopping by the office daily with cards, gifts and thanks for the groups we send. What a blessing it is to live and work here at Thousand Hills Resort in beautiful Branson, MO.

Branson Christmas Lights Named a Top 10 Destination!

We locals know the Branson Christmas Lights are something special, but it's nice to know the rest of the country thinks so too! Prominent TV shows and travel sites have been naming Branson, Missouri as a top 10 Christmas lights destination for many years, and 2011 is no exception!

It wasn't too long ago that Good Morning America, the always popular morning show, named Branson and Silver Dollar City as one of the best places to see Christmas lights in America. It appears they weren't alone in their opinion, as Yahoo Travel just named Branson Christmas Lights as one of the top 10 holiday light destinations in the country.

Yahoo Travel picked several of the area light shows as notable standouts. Silver Dollar City's "An Old Time Christmas" was an obvious choice thanks to 4 million lights and over 1,000 decorated Christmas Trees - including the 5 Story Multimedia tree in the center of Main Street.

The Branson Area Festival of lights was named as a great place to drive through and see the lights, while Shepherd of the Hills Homestead earned their own accolades for a trip through the historic area, the millions of lights, and of course the incomparable view from the top of Inspiration Tower at night.

If you're planning your own holiday trip to Branson, don't forget our guide to Christmas in Branson, including a map of all the local lights and festivals that you'll want to miss.
