re: Can someone tell me about Andalusia, Al?

I'll agree with SloaneRanger. Andalusia isn't the first place I would think of for small town Christmas.

Andalusia does a Christmas thing, called Christmas in Candyland, but you are still going to be in southeast Alabama.

Travel a little further and check out Dahlonega, Georgia. It is up in the mountains, or at least the foothills, and the town has been used for several of the Hallmark Christmas movies.

You could also check out Helen (a bit further east, right in the mountains). It is a bit more touristy - a recreated Alpine village - but still cute and decorated for Christmas. I know Hallmark and Lifetime have filmed there.
