Family Events to Celebrate the Holidays: Nov. 14 – 20, 2016

By Rachel Hoeing

It has already begun … Santa, sleigh bells, twinkling lights, and Rudolph! Every year our readers are looking for any and every way they can get their families in the holiday spirit. This year, our team decided that in addition to our Event Calendar page, we would highlight special events on Mondays from now until New Year’s Day!

Every Monday, visit our website to see events happening in our area to celebrate the holidays. In addition, we have included holiday events in surrounding NC areas that you may wish to turn into a day trip adventure! Many activities below also offer the opportunity for you to see Santa, or have your photo taken, so be sure to click on the link to see when he might be visiting!
