Christmas is a magical time with lights illuminating the streets and holiday cheer an infectious feeling. But one town takes that to the next level.
The little town of Bethlehem — Pennsylvania, that is — takes its name seriously, enjoying a unique chance to ring in the holiday season. And between the traditional Christmas market and the 81-foot-tall steel star that sits above it all, the people of this small Pennsylvania city don’t leave any yuletide stone unturned.
The town — just over an hour from Philadelphia — was originally founded in 1741 by the Moravians, a group originally from the Czech Republic, and named Bethlehem on Christmas Eve of that year, according to Discover Lehigh Valley. And that history is still very much visible today, especially around the Christmas season.
