Monhegan Island Christmas Celebration Old Fashioned
Monhegan Island offers a quiet Christmas tradition away from mainland crowds. On Christmas Eve adults and children walk from homes to the village church for scripture readings carols and a single Santa. Islanders exchange gift baskets and a full grown fir tree decorates the 100 year old gaslit church. Shopping is via mail catalogs with boats to Port Clyde three days weekly and the village offers limited mainland shopping.
