During Christmas Holidays children will be out of school and my sister may have my niece Lily and my nephew Jason so I was putting together a list of places she might want to visit with them that has both free and paid events. Which you will also find inside our Christmas Gift Guide 23: Galleria Dallas Holiday & Hanukkah Events. If you haven’t been to Snowday this is one of my families favorite events each year and I hope you take the time to check it out. In the meantime Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Once you and your family have visited all of the Christmas Events you should leave plenty of time for Christmas Shopping at all of the unique stores and once you’ve finished your day you should have dinner inside the mall at one of the restaurants which you can vise here. If you would like to come with my family I would like to eat at Mi Cocina and Charlie said he would like Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers.
You can check out the hours Galleria will be open here:
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
