Christmas is a special time as the streets are lit, stores are decked out, and music fills the air.

Laura Quick, Good Grit CEO, recently moved their main offices to the Cullman Warehouse District saying “Cullman Warehouse District is like walking onto the set of your favorite Hallmark Movie...I love the small-town charm with almost all of the conveniences that a bigger city like Birmingham has to offer! Coffee, shopping and of course, my new favorite office!”

Nov 27:  Lighting of the Weihnachtspyramide (German Christmas Pyramid) 

Celebrate the city’s German roots with the Lighting of the Weihnachtspyramide! The 30ft tall attraction is best seen when lit by electric candles at night. Take the family for the weekend after Thanksgiving to see the country’s tallest pyramid!

AL.com reported that “The idea for the Christmas pyramid came from the Christmas Markets in Germany,” the mayor said. “Cullman has a strong German heritage, and we felt it was a great way to honor that heritage during Christmas. Christmas Markets, or Christkindlmarkts, in Germany typically run the month of December and feature traditional German food, wine, Christmas ornaments and other arts and crafts.”
