As I read this list of things to do in December, I’m wondering why Hallmark hasn’t done a whole series of holiday movies set in the Roundtopolis™? It must be snow thing!

Have you done the Ledbetter Trail of Lights? Find out more here. Weekends through Dec. 21. Too, check out www.visitlagrangetx.com for a month of activities.

This is a long list, which means out-of-town visitors need to seriously consider staying overnight… Check out the lodging list here.

Enjoy December friends!
