Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, there’s no other place quite like Lake Lanier for a special Christmas made in the South. Less than an hour’s drive north of Atlanta, the all-season playground – hence the nickname of the Hamptons – is wrapped around the shores of Lake Sidney Lanier that is named for Georgia’s great poet, who wrote the “Song of the Chattahoochee” that alludes to aquatic imagery such as the “willful waterweeds,” “laving laurel,” and the “little reeds (that) sighed Abide, abide.”
