While some will be grateful they don’t have to hear “I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas” after this long weekend (it was a nice break from “Baby Shark” at least!), many will probably be trying to cram in as much holiday cheer as they can this coming weekend. Thurston County has plenty of holiday family friendly activities, as well as a few things for those looking to escape the holiday craziness for something a bit more relaxed.
