One year when Suzzane was still here before I was married to David Suzzane wanted to spend the weekend with her big sister Stevie from Big Brothers & Big Sisters. So I said that she could, and they decided to watch the Christmas Parade in Grapevine, Texas which is one memory I will never forget as I was able to go with them and it was so much fun. I would like to share with you “Christmas Capital of Texas” which takes place in Grapevine, Texas.
For years I have wanted to take Charlie to Grapevine for Christmas as Grapevine is known as the “ “Christmas Capital of Texas.” but once again with the parade being this evening I won’t be able to attend although there is still time for you to go if you like and it doesn’t begin till 5 pm.
Even though we will not make it out to Grapevine this evening, quite a few events happening throughout December which my family can attend and yours as well. So take a look at the list and let me know which ones you would like to visit.
It will be a magnificent winter wonderland this Christmas in Historic Grapevine, Texas. Which is the essence of holiday décor as the city becomes blanketed with millions of lights, enormous decorations and a whole lot more! With all of this plus great shopping for everyone on your list, Grapevine the “Christmas Capital of Texas.”
Come experience the magic of the season in historic downtown Grapevine as we officially launch the holiday season in the Christmas Capital of Texas! The whole family will enjoy this wonderfully entertaining presentation blending traditional favorites and contemporary sights and sounds that will both warm the heart and excite the soul for the most wonderful time of the year.
