Has anyone else noticed that the Christmas season basically starts as soon as it turns November 1st these days?
When I lived in Charlotte, I felt like there were a lot of holiday happenings going on down in Columbia on weeknights that I was missing out on. Once I did my research for this year {to make sure I didn't miss anything!} I realized that everything I wanted to do, I can do in November.
... well, ok, I have no problems starting the holiday fun this week! Here's a few of the things that I'm hoping to do around Columbia this month to get into the Christmas festivity.
{don't worry - this is from Christmas last year. We haven't started decorating yet!}

Devine Night Out
November 12, 5 - 8pm
My mom and I have had this circled on our calendars to attend for a couple of weeks now - I can so get into the Christmas shopping mood in November. No problem. Plus, cheers to the establishments who are doing specials on wine while we shop!
Vista Lights
November 19, 5-9pm
There's a tree lighting and all of the shops are open late? Sold.
Lights at the Zoo
November 20 - December 30, 6-9pm
1. It's the zoo.
2. There are lights.
Not that I ever need a reason to visit the zoo or anything...
Saluda Shoals Sleigh Bell Trot
November 24, 7pm
Are you noticing a theme here yet? You can get me to go to pretty much anything that involves Christmas lights. A 5K through Saluda Shoals with all of the lights sounds like a fantastic Tuesday night to me.
Is there a chance that I will be Christmas-ed out by the time Thanksgiving rolls around? Doubtful. I love Christmas and all of the fun that comes with it! Bring it on!
Is there anything else in the Columbia area that I need to check out?

I'm glad these are all after November 1st! At Home Depot the other day everything was so decked out in Xmas stuff, I could barely find the thanksgiving stuff!
ReplyDeleteThese look like so much fun!! Charlotte is starting to put lights on their trees in uptown - I'm anxiously awaiting for it so I can snap some fun photos, and agreed, holiday decor can definitely be busted out on November 1!
ReplyDeleteOh, Christmas, how I love thee! I'm seriously craving a decorating spree early this year, but I'm forcing myself to hold off!
ReplyDeleteYou have such fun ahead! I mae a list of all the local things I want to do here too and may be Christmas-ed out as well but then again - you can never embrace this time TOO much! I'm ready for it all!
ReplyDeleteAmazing post dear! I invite you to join a Giveaway on my blog:

All these sound like so much fun! Especially the 5K through the lights...that would be my kind of 5K! Making a list is a great idea - I need to get on that.
