Updates on Holly Hotel Reconstruction! Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly... For over 43 years, George and I have warmly honored Christmas at the Holly Hotel. In December, as tradition held, many of you walked through our doors with lovers, family, and friends to meet the fragrance of fresh pine, cinnamon, and delightful aroma from our kitchen. You've watched with swelling hearts the children's choir sing during dining. You have all been greeted with a sincere and heartfelt "Merry Christmas" as you stomped your snow-filled boots in our foyer, only to be instantly transported to Victorian hospitality. We strived to make you feel nostalgic, served, and satiated. It was our distinct pleasure. But not this year, nor last year...and most likely the 2024 Yuletide Season either! Our case continues to work its way through the legal system and, despite our efforts to place this case on a fast track, the court scheduled the trial for August 2024, if we can't resolve the case before then! We continue advancing our position that The Historic Holly Hotel should be entitled to rebuild its west-side wall. Were it not for a fire with an origin that was confirmed to be within the former Arcade building and were it not for the Arcade’s contractor destroying the west-side wall, we would not be in this situation. We will continue trying to move forward to the best of our ability. Many of you have asked how you could help. Your daily emails, antique donations, pictures of Christmases past, prayers, and good wishes fall warmly on our hearts. Thank you for supporting our efforts to reopen. Make Merry this Holiday Season!  George and Chrissy
