Christmas City of the Ozarks

There is a little out of the way place in the Ozarks, tucked down in the corner of Missouri, not far from Arkansas, not far from Oklahoma, that has carved out a name for itself during the Christmas holiday. A few things had to fall into place, even a little change of name, to give rise to this mountain tradition, one that is still going strong today and one you can take part in!

There is no charge for the service, but the post office asks that it only be used for personal Christmas cards and not for packages or business use. If sent by mail, first-class postage is needed on all cards before sending them.   Pictures of the famed Bluff Highway:
