We did all of that and it was a blast. We go to Big Cedar at least two or three times per year. However this was our first time at BC during Christmas. It was great.

Glad you had a great time!! The Christmas season is my favorite time to go to BC. It looks like something from a painting - so beautifully decorated. We used to go twice a year, once during summer & once during the holiday season - some time after Halloween but before Christmas. We haven't been the past few summers due to increasing baseball activities & shortened school summer vacations, plus, my aunt & uncle have a lake house at Greers Ferry, so we go there a lot. Although we enjoy the summer activities & being on Table Rock Lake, we enjoy the cold weather season at BC the most. It's just awesome when it snows there. Definitely take the 4WD though. ... What's the gingerbread construction in the lobby of the registration building this year? My favorites have been the "swan sleigh" & replica of the white church on the property. Love watching the pastry chefs build them.

Top of the Rock is my favorite place on the Midwest. The walk down to the wine cellar and whisky bar is incredible.

I can't wait to get up there after Christmas & try Osage. Did y'all eat there? If so, what dishes do you recommend? The bar there looks really cool as well. Are those natural rock stairs carved out leading to the wine cellar? ...Top of the Rock is truly amazing - just beautiful. Even the golf course is gorgeous & I don't even play. ... I still have a soft spot for Devil's Pool, though. That was the first place I'd ever had London Broil when I was pretty young & haven't had it as good anywhere else since.That's the first place we eat the night we get there, & that's the dish I always get - never disappointed. ... I'm so excited; cannot wait!! ... I guess we won't get to have breakfast with Santa like y'all did since he'll already be back at the North Pole, but I'm going to Grand Village, mainly to shop at Kringle's, in Branson, even though it'll be after Christmas. Love, love that place, too!!
