I am starting to get that feeling…that excited, giddy feeling that I always get during the holidays. I love the lights. I love wrapping presents. I love shopping local store to find treasures for others. I love to eat cookies and fudge (#honest). I also really love all the community gatherings of celebration that allow us to see friends, neighbors and co-workers. This weekend, our family is attending Annie on Friday night and the Nutcracker on Saturday and I have a shopping day downtown scheduled for Sunday with girlfriends. What will you do this weekend? Let our list below help guide you to find your own joy of the season.
