Anything special that happens in the Nashville area during the holidays?
We arrive on Friday Christmas day for a week at the Wyndham there and are curious about the festivities around the city.

There are lots of nice things to do.
Go to Gatlinburg, they have a sky resort there and they make snow during that time.
You can ice skate and do tons of other things there.
Have fun, we did last year.

We aren't skiers or ice skaters, and with my MIL along for the trip, we'll have to pace ourselves carefully.
We have picked up tickets for the Radio City Rockettes' show and look forward to the Belmont Mansion which has holiday decorations for their tours.
Jack Daniels is also on our "to do" list which will include lunch in downtown Lynchburg too
We've picked up some Restaurant.com g/c for Wildhorse Saloon (which I've been to in the past and loved) .
. . and BB Kings and the Hickory Grill (inside the Music City Sheraton).
Any other suggestions or ideas??

I thought for sure the Gaylord had a lot going on for Christmas day.
Isn't it on TV for some parade or something?
It also sounds like you got a day planned in the old down town.
Another thing to do on Sunday morning is Cowboy Church.
It is right near the resort and they put on a great live show.

Looks like they have broadcasts from a different location on Sunday & Wednesday nights but on Sunday morning they are at the Texas Troubadour Theatre which is just down the road from the Wyndham Nashville resort.
I would have to think that their show the day after Christmas must be a nice one.
The one we went to on a normal Sunday featured some great talent.
We bought a CD from one of the performers and had her sign it after the service.
FYI: It is a church service with a ministry but it is also a live radio show live country and gospel performers.
I found out about it here on TUG many years ago.

Thanks Scott. We arrive *on* Christmas day after a long drive in so it is unlikely that we'll be looking for much to do on that day.
Cowboy Church sounds like something interesting and probably of interest to my MIL especially.
Thanks for the thoughts - and we'll check out Opryland for other things to see and do when we are there.

Scott My comment about Christmas Day arrival had to do with going over the Opryland on Christmas Day.
I understood Cowboy Church was a "regular" service on Sunday.

You might consider the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL after your Jack Daniels tour, if you want a long day.
Lynchburg, TN to Huntsville, AL is about an 50 miles and an hour drive - check mapquest for details.

WOW I must admit I didn't realize that Huntsville was that close to Lynchburg.
I will have to check in with my MIL and see if she is interested and in for a nice road trip My DH of course, will enjoy anything involved flight and space!

When we were there, a conceirge was selling the Entertainment book for only $20.
We used the tickets to take the General Jackson showboat ride, and also to go to a country dinner show not far fromt he rsort.
Also, if you go to the Opryland Mall, the gibson Guitar store has a showcase theatre attached, and they had some dinner shows and other entertainment.
We went tot he Hermitage and we spent a day in Franklin at Civil War sites and had a nice meal in town at a restaurnat with a grocery store name.

For a good overview of the city, take the Tootsie Tour.
You can catch the bus at the resort.
