You can feel it in the air, that change of season that isn’t weather related. It’s spirit related. We’ve put Halloween behind us and at this point people fall into two groups. They are the folks who are waiting till Thanksgiving to get into the holiday spirit. The other already have their trees up, have their holiday shopping done or almost done and their ugly sweaters already picked out.
The second group of people are the reason stores stock the shelves with holiday decor as soon as they take down the Halloween decor! They are also the reason the Hallmark channel is already playing Christmas movies and we love them for their spirit.
Okay, we’re close to being them! We love the holidays!! Our great city of Plano is a fantastic place to enjoy some holiday events. We’ve gathered up some wonderful ones to share with you. We know there are probably many more going on and we’ve included links to our sources. Feel free to search on as throughout the season so you, your family and friends can have the greatest season ever!
Oh! One more thing, if you have an event you’d like us to promote, please send it to us here. We’re happy to share family-friendly holiday adventures happening in and around Plano!
