Infectious holiday cheer is in full swing in this first full week of December. That’s right, even the Grinch would enjoy the list of events we have to help you get into the Christmas spirit. Just in case you actually are the Grinch, though, or not quite ready for all the yuletide activities, we’ve made sure to include a few non-holiday-related events, too.
