Christmas is coming!

No judgment to anyone who starts sooner, but I’m fully a “Christmas season starts after Thanksgiving” girl. I think it comes from my many years of working at magazines where we were photographing Christmas in July. Nothing like putting up and taking down Christmas trees a dozen times in the middle of the summer to put a damper on your Christmas spirit a little bit.

But now that it’s Christmas season, I’m all about fun holiday activities! I’ve lived in Orlando for almost 19 years so I’ve done all the theme park Christmas festivities but this year I’m on the hunt for fun things to do in Orlando that don’t require an expensive theme park admission.

Get Festive!
