So it’s a big long busy holiday weekend ahead for just about everyone.
After you’ve survived going over the river and through family dynamics - (and perhaps over the parking lots and through the crowds on Friday) -
what else is there to do this weekend?

We’ve received many alerts in our in-box about many family friendly things going on. With halfway decent temps and flurries this weekend I’m already having Currier & Ives-y and Norman Rockwell-ian visions of holiday festiveness.
So many activities to choose from.

Parades, reindeer, window shopping, skating, plenty of twinkly lights, boughs of holly, perhaps a trolley, hot cocoa and snowflakes on noses.

Downtown Minneapolis has Holidazzle and skating and Macy’s display

Downtown St. Paul has the official Holiday Lighting in Rice Park and skating. Phalen Park also has a special holiday lights display.

In Edina this weekend: There’s the Lighting of the Trees (and shopping of course). Some fun and funky kids boutiques around the area have lots of ideas. Bebe Babble and Kiddywampus to name a few.

And in South Minneapolis there’s the Holly Trolley near Lake Harriet. And Bachman’s has Santa and his Elf.

phew!

But first we need to survive Thanksgiving!
Don’t forget to pick up enough copies of the Star Tribune for everyone at the kiddie table. It’s the 30th annual Oh You Turkey Coloring Contest in tomorrow’s Variety. shameless plug
It will keep the kiddo crew occupied , happy and away from the giblets!

What are your plans this weekend? Add to our list!
