Well it sure feels like Holiday Parties are in full swing this weekend. If by chance you don’t have one to attend, no worries as there are tons of festive events to choose from in and around Vancouver. Try the Nutcracker Ballet, Handel’s Messiah or one of the family friendly Christmas Pantos to get you into the holiday spirit. I was thinking the Greatest Snowman Musical at Granville Island sounds kind of fun!
