Greetings, North Texans—hope your holidays are off to a fantastic start! Here’s a few local events to keep you entertained until Santa (or Odin or Krampus) pulls up with his sleigh. (Some of this month's listings are in the spring…but as DFW’s population continues to grow, it’s wise to plan ahead because some tickets do sell out.)
As always, wishing you lots of love and prosperity now and in the new year.
