You don’t need to be reminded that Christmas is only a week away.

Instead, remember this: Getting out of the house is an underrated way to relieve holiday stress.

Or, if this is your time to shine, you’ll be pleased to know many of these events will only amplify the positive Christmas vibes. Either way, happy holidays, Baltimore.
