Amish Farm and House Christmas Cookie Tour
As a local in - town resident, attending the Christmas Cookie Tour is something I highly recommend visitors from near and far to experience. It includes going to a few different Amish family homes tasting home made cookies, and you can bring home cookie recipe cards as well bring home a bag of freshly baked cookies. It’s a great way to experience how the Amish culture celebrates Christmas from the general English(non-Amish) population. This gives to show every culture celebrates Christmas in their own unique way.

We can learn a lot of things about the Amish people.
It was raining when I did my tour. I thought that I would be actually seeing the Amish people in their houses. But that's okay. I got to see a glimpse of what their houses will look like inside the House Tour, how their clothes look like, the rooms, the kitchen, and even for when there is a funeral. It amazes me how, in this modern, wasteful world, there are still people who value frugality. And this frugality is turned into an asset by way of entrepreneurship. I especially appreciate how my questions about winter has been answered: how they go to school when there is snow, and how they keep themselves warm. The bus tour, by coincidence, was a great help, as I had a painful time walking due to sprain of my hip from walking the previous day. I was able to see the community life: school, church, farm, workhouse (for the blacksmiths), and horse-and-buggies we met throughout the trip. I learned of the fact of how a buggy would look like based on the passengers in it. Rumspringa was also explained. I was amazed the see the Dutch Belted cows (aka the Oreo cows, and as per another traveler when he described the brown belted cows, the 'S'mores cows'. The tour guide loved the term, and she'll use it from then on), as well as the cows which I thought were Texas Longhorns (I could be wrong). I was also amazed how they were able to harness technology to suit their needs. When I did the house tour, I didn't expect to see alpacas!!!! Yey!!! This tour made me travel back in time. Yet, it also made me realize that the Amish way of life is a countertrend to what modernism teaches: those who do not accept progress fail to thrive. The Amish people have used history and progress to their advantage to keep life as it is and has been.
