Although Thanksgiving week is always busy, I always try to sit down and think ahead to my favorite season: Christmas in Tulsa!

Having young children at home makes this holiday season even more magical for our family. Because our kids are still small, I pick holiday activities that we can all enjoy without wearing ourselves out. Below are a few that we’re really looking forward to:

  1. We love Philbrook Museum, and the kids are excited to see the gingerbread houses on display at Philbrook Festival this year.
  2. Our favorite local toy store, Kiddlestix, is having photos with Santa on Sunday, December 11th from 2 to 4 p.m. the afternoon time slot is perfect for post nap – hopefully we’ll get some big smiles and some quality time with Santa before we head home diner. 
  3. We’re thinking of trying ice skating with my daughter at Tulsa Winterfest this season – I’m sure she’d love it, but I’m also happy to see that there is a nice climate controlled tent nearby in case we decide it’s not really our thing! If nothing else I know we will have fun picking out the perfect skating outfit at Kathleen’s Kids.
  4. There are a couple of shows that my sisters and I are interested in seeing – The Nutcracker ballet and A Christmas Carol are both showing at Tulsa Performing Arts Center. What a great night out to get us all in the Christmas spirit. 
  5. The Tulsa Christmas Parade sounds like fun. With it’s early start time of 6:00pm, it’s great for kids. We may take everyone for an early meal downtown and then get tickets for bleacher seating so that we can watch all the dancers, floats and marching bands go by. 

There is so much to look forward to! Happy Thanksgiving to your family this week, and all the best for a happy, healthy holiday season!
