Well, the holidays are upon us, you now are starting to hear the music and the atmosphere of Christmas. I know I have and cannot seem to get away from it. But, I can dive in and have some fun.
Now part of this fun might include the annual Christmas lighting on the square in Denton, TX. This is one that they bring out all the festivities and they hold it on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. Many town squares have something like this. They have contests for wassail and many of the vendors staying open to celebrate and let you shop. There are a few wine bars that are fun to have some memories as well, or lack there of depended on how much you get. Vigne and Wine2 are some options.
There are also some great local shops that are fun to search for stocking stuffers. Look for interesting gifts based on what people do, or hobbies they enjoy. A person that likes wine, might like some wine stoppers, or a bottle opener, or some fancy wine. Beer lovers, go for some mugs -I found some at the dollar store that are great, and some beer, have fun, get inventive.
I know some things my mother does at the holiday, on Christmas, whoever is there is in the Christmas picture, then she makes it into an ornament. It is fun to see the looks people give when they see me in some tacky sweater or some crazy 80's hair, but makes for some fun conversation, she has done it every year since my parents were married. But look on Pintrest for some other great ideas.
And again, if you decide to go out this year, tip your waitstaff, they have to buy presents on a near to nothing pay.
