Few things set the Christmas mood better than the clip-clop of horses’ hooves on pavement as it draws a carriage packed with sightseers around a town square decked in lights. “It’s nice to go around and see the town and the lights, and it just gets you in the Christmas spirit,” said Jackie Heller, who waited through the long line of passengers Friday night for a chance to ride in a carriage in Dahlonega. Heller waited for carriage drive David Kraft and his team of horses.
