I posted this review on Pomegranate and Lime website during the week of Hanukkah in 2022. For those…read moreindividuals who might be celebrating Hanukkah, and for those who do not tolerate antisemitism or discrimination of any kind, I thought my review was worth posting and I hope after reading it, you will give serious consideration to taking your business elsewhere. "Hi Everyone, I have never written a review such as this, but in the light of all the racism and antisemitism on the rise, I thought this story was important to share. And as always, my reviews come from a place of truth and transparency, based only on my experiences. In 2022 Hanukkah began December 18 and ended on December 26. I live in Mariemont and this gift shop is the only one in my area. My first purchase I had bought a beautiful hat and gloves back in 2021 shortly after my return to Mariemont. During the first week of Hanukkah, 2022, I decided to stop in for two reasons. The first because I wanted to see if I could buy another hat. And the second was because I was wondering if the shop carried any Hanukkah ornaments that I could pick up. As it turns out, the owner was there that day along with one of her employees. This is how the conversation went: I said hello and I asked the owner if she had any hats for sale. Her response was, "not this year". I then asked her if she had any Hanukkah ornaments that I could buy. She looked at me with this sarcastic grin on her face, and then looked back at her employee, and laughed and said "nope, not this year- no hats, no Hanukkah ornaments" and laughed. You really had to be there to understand how this went down, but that remark, the look on her face, and how she said it in itself really was so dismissive and disrespecting. I just looked at her and said OK and then I left. I've spent a great deal of time thinking about how absolutely dismissive and humiliated I felt by her. During the time that followed I never said a word to anyone because I really wanted to think about what had happened before I responded. Mariemont has a well-known history regarding the demographics that they've been passionate about keeping in their neighborhood. But I would've thought that being the only gift shop in the area that she would've taken into account that there might actually be Jewish people living in the neighborhood, that Hanukkah started way before Christmas and that there might be people who might be interested in getting some Hanukkah ornaments, Jewish or not. I feel the owner not only displayed her disdain for me as a Jew, but Chanukah in general. I decided to share what happened with close friends of mine, some of whom live in Mariemont much longer than myself or their whole lives, knew the Owner and some of her employees. Shocked and upset, they shared negative experiences. Out of respect for my friends and their privacy, and because it would be considered hearsay, I won't be giving the details of the experiences that were shared with me. But I will say that these individuals shared that either the owner or her employee(s) had disrespected them and/or their children if they did not recognize them to be a regular customer, or perceived them to be just someone that appears to be "different" or someone they preferred not to do business with. My friends, sharing their experiences with me and that this behavior towards me by the owner and her employee(s), was not just a one time thing, made me realize that responding to her directly in any way would be falling on deaf ears. If I owed a store such as this and someone came in asking for Hanukkah decorations and I didn't have any. I would offer to see what if I could get some and use this as a tool to remember in the future that I should have just a few in the store in case somebody does want anything. I do realize sometimes you have to buy in bulk, but even if products sit for several days, or even months or years, Isn't it worth it for good business to have it around just to be able to make that one Jewish person happy who might be interested in buying something. And you never know, someone who is not Jewish would enjoy them as well. This is a shop that if it were mine everyone would be welcome and no one would be ignored. any form of discrimination, or racism or antisemitism in my mind is never acceptable."

This is my 300th First to Review so I wanted to choose a special business. A Christmas Shoppe is…read morethe perfect business to sing the praises of. I ordered a personalized ornament on eBay and this is the business that sent the ornament. Fast service, check,! I ordered the ornament that was going to be personalized with the year, first names, and last name. That same day I received a notice that the order had been shipped. What! Maybe the company didn't get my special instructions for the personalization. Wrong, I received the ornament two days later and it was PERFECT! High quality, light weight, appropriate size, clear personalization was exactly what I received. After getting the ornament I went to their website and identified a number of ornaments that are on my wishlist. If I were independently wealthy I have dreamt of all the ornaments I would order. I do plan to order at least one more ornament for this year. I have always collected an annual ornament from Hallmark but now I'm going to add an appropriate personalized ornament each year from A Christmas Shoppe.

Anyway…read morehere's what u need to know... its way out in the middle of nowhere with lots of curves and animals to watch out for. Didnt see any but with the woods it can happen.. you park in a field so potentially muddy. Its a walk around place so dress accordingly hat, gloves scarf layers ... maybe look into heated vest gloves and or scarf. There are buildings selling things like Christmas ornaments, decorations and food. Bought hot chocolate outside that was barely luke warm. They had porta potties that had awful smell and thankfully didnt need one. Lots of lights and selfie opportunities. Be kind and offer to snap pics for families ... mom always the one taking them and never in them. Lovely huge bonfire to warm up at. Its a pricey place but I think its great. They close early than posted time. I saw some people entering thru the exit. We drove 45 minutes id have been aggravated to get there and not get in when it was at least 30 minutes before closing time. The posted closing time is 9 which seems early. But by 8,:30 they stopped letting people in. They dobtake reservations and give 5 off. No discount for military or veterans Loved the toy train room and the light up arches. There is an outdoor train. You pay extra buy tickets. This is best on nights its not super cold. Definitely not raining or windy. After a rain the mud is real both for walking and parking. Some cars get stuck. The mud everywhere is a huge problem... use some of the profit to invest in gravel and straw to help make this less a show after rain.

If you've longed for a more vintage holiday experience, it would be hard to top the Metamora…read moreChristmas Walk. The Metamora Christmas Walk is an annual tradition in this tiny Franklin County town located along the Whitewater Canal and seemingly untouched by all the razzle-dazzle of pop culture, contemporary tech, and more commercial Christmas experiences. I wouldn't so much call the Metamora Christmas Walk "fun." It's more heartfelt. It's a low-key, casual experience with lanterns lining the canal and lights adorning nearly every business in the village. The Metamora Christmas Walk starts the day after Thanksgiving each year. The shops stay open until around 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays and the only real charge is a nominal charge for parking. Of course, there is shopping available at a variety of unique shops. There are fire barrels glistening in the night sky that is largely devoid of anything that distracts from the beauty of the surroundings. The Metamora Christmas Walk truly looks and feels like a traditional holiday experience. If you look carefully, You might even see Yelper Rick G. and his wife Holly G. in the village as he pastors a Metamora church called Boundless Ways of Grace. People are friendly here. There is technology, though internet can be spotty can even most of the shops emphasize more folk/Americana items than the kind of things you'll find on Amazon. This is a fairly easy drive, though the road here can be a bit winding and rural so having familiarity, gas in the car, and a charged up phone would be a good idea. That said, I'm not the most comfortable driver. Metamora is a historic village with multiple buildings on the National Register of Historic Landmarks. The entire area is about 218 acres and actual population is right around 410. Yes, 410. Metamora was platted following the establishment of the Whitewater Canal in the 1830s. The town is named after a popular 1829 play, Metamora, or The Last of the Wampanoags. I will note that accessibility is not perfect in Metamora. It's a very historic town. While some stores are accessible, others are not. You can see virtually all of the lights and there are accessible pathways that allow for passing over the canal from one side to the other (though at least one of these paths is seriously steep). The Metamora Christmas Walk is truly a step back in time to quieter traditions of Christmas. It's great for families, though not really "busy." That said, children who love lights will love the village. It's actually a wonderful place for older couples and even for a trip with the grandparents. I'd dare say it's even a fairly romantic holiday tradition to begin. I don't do the Metamora Christmas Walk every year, but when I do I am completely dazzled by it.

Mom saw wanted this cute tin watering can that was a fountain. She told one of the ladies behind the desk. The lady said it was their last one but she could have it. Within 10 minutes the fountain was boxed up & in the back of my car. I also found an incredible smelling candle which was apricot & chai. So that candle also came home with me. It was a little pricey but sometimes you get to treat yourself haha

Ha..you know..you get what you'd expect from shopping at a store like Halloween City…read more A decent selection of costumes and Halloween related items at extremely outrageous prices. And they always take over the vacated locations of failed retail stores. Always casts a depressing light on the shopping experience (ie: remember this used to be a Circuit City? I loved Circuit City. I miss Circuit City. I wish this was still a Ciruit City :( (not talking about this location specifically, just saying that's how it generally is..not sure what this location used to be..it's next to the super Kroger..I can't remember..oh man, I've been talking in the parenthesis for a while now..and I think I'm in a parenthesis of a parenthesis at this point..need to get back to the review.)) Anywho, I shopped at this location the Sunday before Halloween because I am always a last minute shopper. Everything was pretty picked over. All that was left was some super expensive crap, and some moderately expensive crap. I went with the moderately expensive crap..and it had an additional discount attached to it because they were trying to get rid of it. The cashier looked depressed to be there (didn't blame her..she was going to be out of a job in a couple of days). She didn't know how to ring up the discount..she called someone over to help her..they did something and walked away..the item still wasn't discounted..she called her back over and they finally figured it out. Fun times. Anywho, I don't know, shop here if you're lazy, would rather pay more than have to go bargain hunting for Halloween crap, and feel like walking around the corpse of a failed retail shop..I guess those are my take-aways from shopping here..I dunno. TWO STARS!!
