9 Other Orlando Christmas Events This Week…
As we enter one of the busiest times of year, we thought we’d take a pause, draw some breath and slow the pace down a bit today. Many folks will have spent the last weekend shopping for Christmas and will still be suffering from the stress of fighting the crowds and trying to make sure they get everything they need to make this holiday season a special one. So, we thought we’d take a look at the other side of Orlando… the one that usually goes unrecognized and forgotten about, the one that gets lost in the plethora of things there are to do in this area… so today, we’re taking a look at 9 Other Christmas Events to visit this week:
