Thoughtful Gift Giving In Gaston

If you are the kind of person who makes an extra effort to find just the right gift for your family and friends that are on the nice list, consider getting out of town and going to Gaston. Gaston County just west of Charlotte is home to several of the most “Christmas Village” like communities in the state. In fact one is actually known as Christmas City U.S.A.!
