I have so many photos of the Delaware Beaches….inland bays, ocean, beaches….the Indial River Inlet. I never get tired of looking at them.
It was about 4:45 p.m. and the sun was setting. I went back to see that gorgeous Christmas Tree. It is going to be so festive, here in Rehoboth Beach when Friday, November 28th, the festivities officially opening the Holiday Season will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a Sing-Along.
The lighting ceremony will start at 7:00 p.m. Thanks to Harriet Magee of Rehoboth Beach for her generous donation of the tree. It is truly what a Christmas Tree should look like.
Today it was so warm. The beach at dusk was beautiful.
The Boardwalk is taking a well deserved rest…..all decorated for the Christmas…
The Holidays are very popular here in Rehoboth Beach…plenty of visitors will come this Second Season to shop, dine and kick back. For those of us living at the beach, the ocean offers you a sense of well being. Love it and do not take it for granted.

Visions of Sugar Plums dancing in…..what? Say that again? My visions were a little different. That’s why on Christmas Day, my sister in law, Susie, and I took off for Downtown Rehoboth Beach to walk it all off….The Holidays!!
They say that the average American gains about 8 pounds from Thanksgiving to New Year’s. We were on our way…reaching that goal…yikes!
Walking around Rehoboth Beach is easy, especially on Christmas Day!! You have the town to yourselves. So, off we went to walk off the following:
Christmas Eve dinner consisted of my stuffed pork loin, among other dishes. My last figs were used in the stuffing. Truly delicious and nobody was counting calories.
Christmas morning is always soooo good. You wake up to the aroma of sausage cooking on the stove. This year we even added some of the leftover sweet potatoes.
A new addition was the Turkey Scrapple by Rapa. This scrapple has half the fat of the regular scrapple. Cooked well done…thin and crispy is the best.
The plate was full…a little fruit to make you feel healthier….but please don’t forget the molasses. A must drizzled over the buckwheat cakes!!
Cookies…a present from my neighbor….well, they never hit the gorgeous platter that accompanied them.
Which brings me to the subject of walking around Rehoboth Beach. It was cool but much welcomed weather!! It is that time of the year. Taking a walk on this beautiful coastal town is always invigorating.
The scenic Silver Lake…This lake is one of the 3 crown jewels of Rehoboth Beach. Along with Lake Gerar and Lake Comegys, Silver Lake is one of the fresh water lakes closest to the ocean anywhere in the country.
Going out and About in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware….have a good one!!

Local shops, independent owners are what Downtown Rehoboth Beach is all about. You stop, you chat, and you might even become friends. Downtown Rehoboth Beach is so walkable; only one square mile. At this time of the year, the town looks great. The lights are beautiful and the merchants have gone all out to make sure that you have a great shopping experience…Holiday Sales!!
I have stopped a couple of times in the past month at Crysti. This shop is located at 33 Baltimore Avenue; one block north of Rehoboth Avenue and one block west of the Boardwalk. It is in the courtyard of “The Shops at 33 Baltimore Avenue”. Tel. 302-227-2874. Website? http://www.crysti-rehoboth.com.
Crysti is celebrating 30 years in Rehoboth Beach. This shop has seen Rehoboth Beach turn into a year round resort. It did not use to be that way. It was a seasonal kind of town. Over the years Rehoboth Beach has done a great job in bringing the visitors during the summer and then bringing them back for a second season. Full of festivals, entertainment and a dining destination, as well.
Visitors love to shop in Delaware…tax free shopping. And the ones that are making this area their permanent home, are enjoying low property taxes.
If you are in Rehoboth this week-end, Crysti is a must stop shop. The entire store is 25% off, including Brighton. This holiday sale will be through Sunday, as well. Gift wrapping is also available.
And during the week-end, they will be serving cocoa and cookies. Definitely, stop and say hello.
Let me introduce you to Joyce and Crysti. Joyce is on the left and she is the Manager. Crysti, on the right is the owner.
Crysti is casual….that’s the best part of living at the beach. The relaxed attitude at our beaches is reflected in a lot of the clothing and accessories carried in many of our unique shops. At Crysti, you will find sweaters, scarves, jeans, jewelry, and bags. Plenty of gifts, as well.
Really, do stop by….the merchandise changes but their personal service and attention is always the same….great! Have a nice week-end!! The weather will be warm for this time of the year at the Beaches!
