Take a drive to see Christmas Lights!
Make a point to drive around and see the Christmas lights. To help you, we have a few ideas:
* Ransom Canyon is always spectacular. Get on 50th Street, go east and follow the signs to Ransom Canyon.
* Santa Land is open nightly from 6 to 10 at Mackenzie Park. Use East Broadway Entrance East of Avenue A
* Check out Vintage Township this weekend with free pony rides and more!
(click here for schedule)
* Before your start, get a hot chocolate or latte before your drive at one of these neat coffee spots! (click here to see our favorites) If you haven't tried a pumpkin spice chai -- it's a holiday favorite.

Four EASY ways to feed your family!
1.) Purchase an entire Holiday Feast prepared by Stella's that feeds 10 to 12 people for only $149.99 and pick it up ready to cook! Wow. See the ad to the right or click here for more information.
2.) For only $2.50 fee per entree, Super Suppers will assemble your meals for you and have them ready for you to pick up. Click here for more information.
3.) Pick from a variety of special recipe, frozen, 10 inch quiches. Place your order, pick up on your designated day, pop in the oven and enjoy! Proceeds benefit Meals on Wheels too! (Click here to visit our calendar and notice listing at the top.)
4.) Enjoy a nice, relaxing Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve meal together at Stella's. See ad to the right>

Holiday Gift Guide ideas for you!
* Do you know someone getting a camera or photo printer for Christmas? Give them lessons on how to use it!
* Or a Tailgating Koozie is fun for Texas Tech fans.
* Do you know someone who is pregnant? A Stork Vision "video sonogram" gives them another look at their baby (This is also great for expectant grandmothers!)
* Need a corporate gift? Town South Floral is ready to help.
