Published for Friday, December 20
One daughter cheered this morning (she’s the one with the all-day pajama/reading party) and the other let out a big groan (she’s the one with a presentation to deliver) when the weather forecasters failed to deliver on a snow day. Whether you are cheering or jeering the limited snow fall, you can enter the festive (or frenzied) holiday spirit through ThurstonTalk’s event calendar. Enjoy!
