It's a great show, Tom! I believe it runs every 30 minutes between 6P-9P through January 3. On the night we saw it, the President of the college spoke and they handed out hot cocoa, candy, and free mugs! Thanks for watching, and Happy Holidays! 👍 -Howard
Hello friends! Just recently discovered you guys and absolutely loving all of your videos. I'm retired from American Airlines, so travel is in my blood. During the past five years, I have worked a both the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone Natl Parks, along with touring most of the western states/Rockies. So, your videos have been really enjoyable. Great camera work, great personalities, and great pets! Kudos! Thanks for all of your hard work and Merry Christmas!!! Cheers!
Hi Larry, so glad you found us, and thank you SO MUCH for all the compliments! We've had such a great time launching the channel in 2020, cheers to more adventures in 2021! Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and yours. ❤ -Howard & Katelyn
Happy Holidays to you, Kisha! Pretty fun exploring your own city, right? We're heading back again soon, what's tops on your list? Thanks so much for watching, hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 -Howard
Aidan, thanks for watching and so glad you got to see the lights at the park! Out of curiosity, how far in advance did you make camping reservations? We've heard it can be hard to book during the holidays! -Howard
HI - thanks so much for your ideas! We all thoroughly enjoyed the James Island Festival of Lights. It was one thing to drive around the many fun light light fixtures - being able to walk around them was unbelievable! We also liked the Cougar Lights at the College of Charleston. Thanks for your recommendations!
Charleston is the best city in any season. You should really catch Spoleto in late May/early June - a little bit of Europe in the Lowcountry. Remember the chill when you return in July or August where the heat and humidity will make you feel like a roasted oyster! You'll trade those hot chocolates for ice cold lemonade! I went to Charleston several years right after Christmas for 10 days, and never experienced cold. Days were 60-80, and nights in the 40s, and rarely any rain. Sure beats the North! Nice videos (saw HHI and this one so far)! Saw Savannah video, too, just after posting this comment, and will catch the longer Jekyll Island one later.
Aww the market! We were there when my friend was rescuing our last Lab, Lexie for us. We bought her first collar there. We loved walking along those incredible houses and peering in to their gardens - can’t imagine it during Christmas!! Awesome lights - loved Santa with the RV - looked a bit like our Rpod.
🎶"Deck the halls with boughs of holly!" 🎶 🎄❤️💚❤️How beautiful those homes were decorated.📿💡🏮🕯🪔🚙The drie through light park, same! Hours and hours of planning and designing. Incredible. The cookie monster in you really had a bal in that bakery I gather Katelyn 😂! What touched me though, were those special trees. We recently lost a family member (66) to cancer, with two very close friends battling a battle they won't win. It has dimmed my Christmas cheer somewhat knowing of their struggle and watching the video has also reminded me, that every day is a gift and I need to cherish and enjoy it to the best of my ability. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄❤️💜💚🕯🤶🙏🙋♀️
Oh goodness, so sorry to hear about both your family member and your two friends. Cancer is such a horrible thing. 💔 But you're right, we must cherish every day and live life to the fullest while we're here. Which also means eating all the cookies when you want 😉😋 Merry Christmas!! ♥️ -Katelyn
If you stay at the James Island campground, you can walk or drive around the displays at no extra cost. Wonderful dog pond as well. In other years, you can take a train around the displays too (nominal fee for that) Thanks for sharing - brought back happy memories.
Thanks so much for the tips, Katja! We heard the campground books up way far in advance because of what you mentioned. Sounds like a really fun time to stay there during the event! ❤
This was a great video. Beautiful. Lights were very beautiful. A lot if cars were there at the Festival of Lights. The there looked good. The burger and what Howard had looked really good and so did the cookies you bought. You liked like you both had fun. Love the Christmas trees for the cancer people who died or who have it. Thank you fir this video and hope you had a merry Christmas. See you soon and Have a Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Sherri! We loved visiting Charleston, hope to return again soon. The trees were powerful, and reading the stories of those still fighting is encouraging. ❤️ -Howard
I could tell that was a FFF and A+ day for you both. That is so on my list to go see. I live in the boonies and just don't get to see such great beautiful light displays. I just love love Christmas time for the lights, the joy of family and friends. I am a big kid at heart. Thanks for sharing again.
Chris, so many people have mentioned that! I wish we could have seen it in the daytime, based on the map it must have been all around us and we didn't even realize! Thanks for watching. 👍 -Howard
Trisha, we had such a great time! Can't wait to go back. Any favorite suggestions for visitors? Thanks so much for watching, hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 -Howard
@@NewstateNomads “The Market” located between Market and King Streets offer so many cute shops, bars, restaurants better experienced in the the summer. Tabbuli is neat (my fave!) The beaches!! So. Many. BEACHES!! 😂 I grew up in North Charleston and going “Downtown” (as you know as ‘Charleston’) was ALWAYZZZZZ a treat!
It looks beautiful there. The line at the lights is what we experience here in Oklahoma. Specifically Yukon and Chickasha. The mines are easily a hundred cars long. Both displays are free but accept donations. I will definitely have to visit the ones in Charleston!
In this time of travel restrictions your videos have been such a welcome ‘travel escape’ for us. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. Your videos are full of humour, history, and travel information. Looking forward to your next instalment. Love, love, love. :)
Howard & Katelyn, once again, another awesome video. The lights, the decorations, and most of all the Christmas trees decorated for those battling cancer. I was crying too. I thought about how those folks with cancer struggle each day. Cancer treatment is not for the timid. It takes a lot of fortitude to deal with everything that cancer can throw at a person. Thank you for helping me to remind myself that my lot in life isn't bad at all. Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy 2021. That seafood plate will be dancing in my head tonight....not sugar plums.... LOL ❤🎄❤🙏❤🙏
Those trees definitely got to me... I read all 20 plaques and hearing the stories was really touching. I felt honored to hear them. ♥️ And yes! That seafood platter is what foodie dreams are made of. So yummy. Have a very Merry Christmas! 🎄-Katelyn
Hi Howard and Katelyn! Charleston is a beautiful southern city. They do an awesome job of dressing up for the holidays. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Merry Christmas!
Very cool! So much yummy food and beautiful sights. The cancer trees were very touching. Thanks for bringing us along! Have a magical holiday season. 💫
Glad you've enjoyed it, Brandy! We've had a lot of fun making them, maybe we'll keep going with "Winter in the South" episodes moving forward! Merry Christmas to you! -Howard
I love Charleston!! Thank you so much for this. Fist of all,the cookie shop would be my first stop..lol...yummy!! The beautiful homes with garland were stunning. The carriage horses were also beautiful,I love them. The Festival of Lights looked to be so much fun,I loved the solar system.Actually watched it twice,so beautiful. Another wonderful,and informative video.I want to thank both of you,and the puppies too,for including us,on your wonderful journeys.You work so hard,and it is so appreciated. I just wanted also to wish everyone a Merry Christmas,and I hope Santa is good to you. Big hugs......
Awww!!♥️ You're so welcome. Thank you for always watching and supporting us. So glad you're here with us on our little corner of the internet. Merry Christmas!! ♥️🤗🎄 -Katelyn
We live in the upstate of SC so I was happy you enjoyed Charleston! It is a beautiful city and the people there are amazing. It can be really cold there tho, I mean hurt your teeth cold! Two of our granddaughters attend The College of Charleston and love it. I would have been totally blown away if I had been visiting them and saw you walking down the street! Merry Christmas to you both and those sweet pups.
Glad you enjoyed it, Joanna! I'm sure you'll have a great time, and I would think warmer in Charleston than probably anywhere in Wisconsin right now. 😂 Thanks so much for watching! -Howard
Hey guys! I'm new here. Next time in Charleston around the holidays, check out Park Circle in North Charleston. You'll enjoy the lights there too. All the best in 2021! Stay safe out there. Dee
So glad you found us! Ah that was another recommendation we had and didn't have time to fit it in. There's still so much we want to explore in Charleston! ☺️ Thanks for watching!! -Katelyn
What a beautiful video as always. We stayed at Two Meeting Street there by the water and it was gorgeous. Hope you both have a wonderful holiday. Thanks for all of your videos which have been such a bright spot for my family to watch together! You guys are awesome!
Awww Shannon, that makes us so happy to hear! We're so glad you've enjoyed our little festive series. Thanks so much for watching and for all your support! Merry Christmas! ♥️🎄 -Katelyn
Keep up the good work you guys I love watching your videos and look forward to them Your brown hair is beautiful btw! I am letting my bleach blonde hair grow out to the same color as yours
You guys need to come back when everything is warm and things open back up again! There are a ton of tours and beautiful places to see (though I would wait until it's warm lol). Not to mention all of the tourist attractions!
My husband & I love watching your videos. We always watch them first when we see a new one pop-up. You guys always seem to find the best things to do in an area. How do you find the best attractions & seasonal activities to do in the area? My husband & I just went full time in September & I have trouble figuring out things to do.
Keira, thanks so much for the kind words, glad you're along for the journey! The short answer is lots of research. 😂 Longer answer, we look up the Convention and Visitors bureau for each place, and they will generally have an events calendar. Then we search out local newspapers, blogs, etc to see what they are talking about in the area. Some of it is dumb luck asking people as we visit an area! Congratulations on going full-time, btw! Where have you already explored? 👍 -Howard
@@NewstateNomads Thanks for the detailed response! I truly appreciate it. I never thought about checking local papers & blogs. We have stayed in Indiana, Alabama, South Dakota, South Carolina, a few days in Tennessee & now we are in Texas. We are originally from Nebraska, we wanted to beat the wind & cold & neither one of us had been to the South before. I was truly impressed with Alabama, & South Carolina is just gorgeous. I never would have thought about visiting these places if we hadn't gone full-time.
@@keirafritzen4686 you nailed one of the best things about going full-time: exploring and loving the unexpected! It's happened to us over and over. We think that we'll just pass through an area, but then are amazed at what we find! My theory is that when you travel full-time, you're rarely on a schedule. Therefore, you are willing to explore more, take a chance, and discover. I'm so glad to hear that's already happened for you! Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🌲 -Howard
Hey Chuck! We were fortunate enough to stay with friends on their property while visiting. 😊 So glad you enjoyed our Christmas tour of Charleston! Thanks for watching. -Katelyn
@@NewstateNomads James Island County Park is really nice. We stayed there and backed up to the ocean lights area. Admission is included with the camping fee and we were able to just drive out and around the lights. Then back to the site for s’mores and hot chocolate.
Lifelong charlestonian.....it's not what it's all cracked up to be. Way too many people moving here from out of state. Lost the small town feel and hugely liberal...no bueno

I miss the James Island light show! It's been years
Charleston is my City ! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Come again in the summer to visit our beaches you will love it.
We loved it, Lisa! Already have another trip planned for Charleston, can't wait! Thanks so much for watching. 👍 -Howard
Wow, I've never known about the C of C light show. I'll try to get down to the peninsula to see it. Thanks, and do come back!

Wow I was just there for new years and saw the lights when I camped at the park I loved Charleston and will be back for sure.

We did not have a tree or lights this year. It was a first for me. Thank you so much for showing all of the light. Hugs from Oklahoma
Glad we could share some Christmas joy with you, Gwen! Have a Happy New Year. ❤️

Me, too. But SOME changes are good.
