7 Things You Have To Do This Holiday Season
Jessica Jones Thompson

Go enjoy yourself this holiday season, the right way. These seven attractions will have you thrilled for Christmas.

Macy's Light Show

https://www.visitmacysusa.com/philadelphia - Zaid Hamid

This is free of cost and runs daily until December 31. It begins at 12, 2, 4, 6, and 8 pm.

Dilworth Park Ice Skating

https://centercityphila.org/parks/dilworth-park/winter

This is such a fun attraction that stays open through the winter and closes during the end of February, it is only a $5 admission fee ($3 for children) and you are free to bring your own skates, but if you are like me and need to rent them they have them available for $10.

Christmas Village

http://www.philachristmas.com

This is a cool scene to walk through and see all of the different items for sale and maybe buy some unique gifts for family and friends, it is open from now until January 1.

Peddler's Village

Madyson Thompson

It opened back in early November and it stays open until January 4. The best part is that going is free of cost, but of course they have photos with Santa and different stores and restaurants that do have a price tag.

Shady Brook Farm Light Show

https://shadybrookfarm.com/event/holiday-light-show-4/2018-11-17/

This one is unique and fun, they are open nightly until January 5 and they charge $30 a carload, so pack your friends in because if you have 6 people that's only $5 each!

The Comcast Center Light Show

https://www.visitphilly.com/things-to-do/events/the-comcast-holiday-spectacular/

This is again free of cost and runs on the hour from 10am-8pm every day until January 1. A fun experience for the family.

River Rinks Winterfest

https://www.delawareriverwaterfront.com/places/blue-cross-riverrink-winterfest

Another opportunity to ice skate and this one stays open until March 8. They also have a few cabins with food vendors, games and even fire pits. You can even choose to rent a private heating cabin for your group. The admission cost is just $4 and then to rent skates is an additional $10, but feel free to bring your own! They open at 1 pm on weekdays and at 11am on weekends.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
