I had initially envisioned the compilation of Christmas information going into a guide for you, our readers. Then I realized how lucky we are to have SO MANY things happening around this beautiful place we call home. So, I decided to format the fun family holiday and Christmas events into a cleaned-up list! If I missed anything or if you would like to add something, please feel free to email me at mackidwinstonsalem@macaronikid.com

Holiday Light Show EXTRAVAGANZA
I had to add "EXTRAVAGANZA" because... It's Christmas lights, after all! The excitement on the kiddos' faces makes watching Christmas lights one of our favorite past times. Whether we are loading up and driving around the neighborhood or heading out to one of the mainstays of the area, it wouldn’t be complete without the holiday tunes playing.
