End the year on a merry note, with plenty of winter holiday events to choose from. For something unique, check out the Dickens on the Strand event in Galveston, Texas. The event will be held December 6-8 and is worth a trip over to see Texas’s coastline transform into 19th-century Victorian London. Dust off your petticoat and enjoy four stages of entertainment, Tiny Tim’s Play Land, Shopkeeper Skills Village, as well as various Victorian wares and fares.
