This may be worth a visit if your flight is from Tampa.
Rogers' Christmas House & Village
If Santa lived in Florida this enchanting village would be his home. Nestled in the rolling hills of Brooksville in west central Florida, five turn-of-the-century houses form a small village that showcase Christmas all year round. Beautiful gardens surround the walkways between the houses which are filled with an array of gifts suitable for all occasions, and each house is decked in holiday finery with a particular theme – Main Christmas House, Storybook Land, Country Cottage, Magnolia House, and the Little House Under the Oak Tree.
Rogers' Christmas House & Village
Rogers' Christmas House opened many years ago in what is now known as the Main Christmas House. It now serves as the entrance and check-out exit, and houses nativity scenes, fine glass ornaments, table linens and china, crystal, holiday candles, and a collectibles department.
When you step into Storybook Land you enter under a canopy of white tree limbs covered with white twinkling lights – a winter wonderland. Storybook themes fascinate the young and there is merchandise from Santa's Workshop that kids of all ages would like to find under the tree – toys, games, plush animals, children's books, and baby gifts and ornaments.
The Magnolia House is as elegantly decorated as its name implies and is filled with decorative holiday accessories, kitchen gadgets, food products, and gift books. Potpourri fragrance fills the air with the scents of the holidays.
Country and nostalgic themes fill the Country Cottage along with tropical gifts and accessories in the light and bright Biscayne room.
The Little House Under the Oak Tree houses novelty lights, Dept. 56 Villages and accessories, and Snowbabies. Also found there are nautical, sports and music themed trees and men's gifts.
Rogers' Christmas House & Village is located at 103 South Saxton Avenue, Brooksville, Florida, and is open 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. everyday of the year except Christmas Day. Brooksville is approximately 50 miles north of Tampa and 10 miles west of I-75. Follow the signs.
