1. The East Valley Mormon Choral Organization is having their annual Christmas concert at the Mesa Arts Center on Sat. December 4th. If you love a good Christmas concert, this is your ticket! I went to their Memorial Day concert and was blown away with how huge the choir is and how amazing they are.
2. The Tempe Marketplace is having a tree lighting and ice skating show at 6:30pm this Wednesday and then it will SNOW at 7 and 8pm! Then starting Friday night through December 24th it will SNOW there every night at 7 and 8pm. Sounds like fun to me! I will be there at least once.
3. Have you ever been to the Annual Christmas Train Tour put on by AZ Big Train Operators? If you have little boys this is a must see this year! Actually everyone will love it. This will be the 3rd year for us to go. Just click on the link, scroll down and click on the link for the Holiday Train Tour and take a look at the maps of where the trains are. An absolute must see is the Sirrine's house on 24th St in Mesa. You will be blown away with how many trains they have and how their whole back yard is one big train track wonderland! Amazing!
4. Every year Fountain Hills lights up their down town with thousands of luminarias. It is beautiful! Starting at sunset on Dec 22, 23rd, and 24th. Load up the car and take some hot chocolate!
5. Like Christmas lights? Then you'll LOVE visiting the Mesa Temple Grounds. Thousands of Christmas lights light up the gardens around the temple. Each night there is also a 30 minute concert at the south side of the Visitor's Center. Enjoy this starting THIS FRIDAY and going on through December 31st. This is another great place to bring hot chocolate with you!
These are all on my list. We'll see if we do them all. Do you have some fun things you like to do at Christmas time?
