Where the South Slows Down and Stays Awhile

Hey y'all, I'm planning a trip to Savannah in December to experience the Christmas in Savannah celebration and I'm looking for some insider tips on the best places to visit, especially the historic homes and squares that are decorated for the season. Anyone been to the festival before and have some favorite spots to share? Specifically, I'm curious about the best times to visit the Owens-Thomas House and the Mercer House, as well as any lesser-known spots that are worth checking out. Looking forward to hearing from you all!
