As Santa busies himself with toy building and triple checking the Nice & Naughty list, folks around Snohomish County have their hands full planning their holiday activity list. With so many activities and events to choose from it can be difficult to do everything especially when Turkey day is in a few days and Christmas is around the corner.
One of our family’s traditions is to gather up and drive to Warm Beach’s Lights of Christmas. Everyone grabs a piping hot cup of hot chocolate and snacks to enjoy a nice evening walk through the million lights and huge displays. We’ll probably take in a parade along with the kid’s school recitals and even driving around to see Christmas lights on homes throughout the County.
I now have Christmas music playing in my truck and I’m ready for stuffing my face with food, watching football, enjoy family and friends, laughing and telling jokes with everyone, and did I mention eating? What are your plans this holiday season and what traditions make the holidays so memorable for you?
