anyplace in Wilderness Lodge! I haven't eaten there during Christmas but I have visited the lobby during Christmas and it is incredibly beautiful. I would think Artist Point would be nice.
Truthfully, all the resorts (mods and values, too) decorate so well for the holiday that you just can't escape that Christmas feeling!
GF does this *huge* detailed gingerbread house which would be nice to see. Their decorations are gorgeous, too. A restaurant there- GF cafe, Citrico's are good choices would be beautiful!
Mama Melrose would be a nice choice bc NY street looks very "homey" to me (I'm from Jersey too) and they have the fake snow machines there sometimes which would be a nice view.
Good luck! I'd love to see some more responses!
PS I arrive the day *after Christmas!
