While today may be pumpkin spice and everything nice, the elves at The Barn Redefined, previously known as Poway Countryside Barn, are getting ready for the holiday season, with their popular Christmas at the Barn shopping event, themed “The 12 Days of Christmas”. A wonderful place for holiday decorating ideas; one of the most anticipated features of the event is their themed Christmas trees. This year, they have twenty-six! Themes include “Under the Stars” (camping/outdoor tree), “To All a Goodnight” (black, white, green, dark blue), “Enchanted Forest” (mossy, feathers, reds), “Classic Christmas” (red velvet, classic Santa, mistletoe), “Chrismukkah” (deep blue, gold, silver), and “Mrs. Clause’s Bake Shop (reds, light blues),” to name a few. The event provides lots of holiday photo opportunities, as the exterior will be a giant gingerbread house, and a large vintage trailer will become a “Candy Shop.” This year, they will be collecting new toys, arts & crafts and hygiene products for kids of all ages for Anvil of Hope, a non-profit focused on helping low-income families, those facing homelessness and temporary hardship. Everyone who donates will receive a paper gingerbread man with their name on it to hang on a dedicated wall. New this year is a gift-wrapping section with supplies available for purchase.
