No place captures the timeless spirit of the Christmas season quite like Williams Lumber & Home Centers. Each year, beginning in early November, our Rhinebeck location transforms into a cozy winter wonderland filled with twinkling lights, themed trees, and the festive hum of model trains. Families return year after year to wander through our display, browse aisles of classic and one-of-a-kind gifts, and meet and greet familiar faces. At Williams Lumber, the magic of the holidays feels like coming home.
Every year, when the November chill starts to settle in, those who know me start calling me “Kim Kringle”. Why? Because it’s my favorite time of year! For more than 30 years, I’ve had the joy of creating our Winter Wonderland in the heart of our flagship store in Rhinebeck.
Why do I do it? Simply because it makes me happy. Christmastime has always been magical to me, and I love sharing that joy with others. Each themed tree, ornament, and decoration is chosen to make you smile and feel that classic, old-fashioned holiday spirit that brings people together.
This tradition is also my way of saying thank you to our community for your continued support. It fills my heart to see generations of friends and families return each year to enjoy the wonder of the season—just as much as I do.
— Kim Kringle (a.k.a. Kimberley Williams)

The Largest Ornament Selection in the Region
At Williams, holiday decorating is serious fun—and we’re proud to offer the largest selection of Christmas ornaments in the region. When you visit Rhinebeck you’ll find:
Keepsake ornaments to mark milestones, highlight hobbies, celebrate cultures, foods and even favorite snacks. Whimsical, quirky and classic designs, including customer favorites like the Christmas pickle.
The Christmas Pickle is one of the most charming holiday mysteries. The tradition goes like this. On Christmas Eve, someone hides a shiny glass pickle ornament deep in the branches of the Christmas tree. Many believe the tradition started in the United States in the late 1800s when German glass ornaments became popular here. Whether it is truly old-world lore or a clever marketing idea, the Christmas Pickle has become a playful way to bring a little extra excitement to Christmas morning.
Whatever you’re looking for, Williams has ornaments that will bring joy for years to come.
