We’re not going to get too ahead of ourselves here but we know you’re shopping, menu-planning and generally getting excited for the flurry of the next six weeks
Families can choose from a myriad of events and activities this weekend in Champaign-Urbana
We are calling this weekend “the one where it began”. You know what we’re talking about – holiday buzz. Say all you want about not getting into Christmas-mode until after Thanksgiving, but here is the reality. The next six weeks of life are a BLUR for families with children and we know you’re beginning to plan. Are you enlisting the help of some Champaign-Urbana area restaurants and bakeries to put together your holiday meals this year? Have you started holiday shopping? And (gasp!) maybe even penciling a few holiday activities you don’t want to miss into your calendar? No judgement from us, chambana, we are here for it all too. Hang with us every step of the way these next several weeks and we’ll enjoy the season together!
Sign up today for “Home for the Holidays”, our daily email for all things holidays in Champaign-Urbana, running four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. You will NOT automatically receive this daily email unless you sign up, so take a moment to do that now. You can also read about the special offers our Home for the Holidays partners are featuring for chambanamoms readers this holiday season!
