This unprecedented move has impacted local Christian communities as they prepare for their Christmas services.

Monday felt like the winter weather we’ve all come to expect from December in the Northwoods.Even with the latest snowfall, the near outlook for winter weather isn’t great.In the Northwoods, the lack of snowfall goes beyond dashing those dreams of a White Christmas.

Communities across the Northwoods are working to keep the Christmas spirit alive this weekend.

Winter celebrations across the Northwoods are kicking off tonight.That includes the Lights of the Northwoods display at Hodag Park in Rhinelander. It’s now in its 7th year.

Downtown Rhinelander was decked for the holiday season in December of 1968 when the Christmas celebrating was put to a sudden stop. A historic fire swept through the city, destroying dozens of storefronts.

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, and holiday light displays are on their way to the Northwoods. The display at Hodag Park in Rhinelander will light up for the first time this Friday.

Public decorations are part of the holiday tradition in towns and communities across the Northwoods. Streets are gaily decorated, and a community Christmas Tree is put up for all to enjoy. But where did this tradition come from?

Businesses across the Northwoods are getting into the holiday spirit, as communities prepare for events like Rhinelander’s Holiday Open House and Boulder Junction’s Shopping Home for the Holidays.
