The Best Danbury, CT Has To Offer During The Holiday Season

Christmas came and went and we all are still probably at home cuddled with our favorite pets and snuggling by the fire with mom, dad, the crazy cousins, drunk uncle, the whole shebang.

And this time has been long anticipated. Finally, a place where you do not have to stress over finals, grades, or anything school related.

Going to college in my hometown that is all I have known for my entire life of 19 years, I have grown to love Danbury's little quirks.

I've been a New England girl my whole life. And yes, I am a huge Patriots fan, I love my four seasons, and of course I'm a sucker for being on a lake. And I love to be home in Danbury for the holiday season.

So here is the best that Danbury, Connecticut has to offer during this time of year:

1. Seasonal Dunkin' Donuts Drinks

Yes, every New England girl has to have their cup of salted caramel hot cocoa, dunk-a-ccino, coolatta etc. Although I am a major Starbucks fan as well, Dunkin' Donuts are on every corner of Danbury and it is hard to pass one without buying one of their signature Christmas beverages.



2. Main Street Decorations

Danbury is not Danbury without its cultural main street, filled with people from all over the world who never fail to make Main Street a scene from a Norman Rockwell painting every Christmas.


3. Main Street Tree Lighting

And of course any Main Street cannot be complete without a glowing Christmas tree!

4. Holiday Book Signings

Just this year, famous author Nan Rossiter offered a book signing at Hickory Stick Bookshop singing key works such as "Sugar on Snow" and "Christmas on Cape Cod."

5. Local Christmas Productions

My school, WCSU, has performed several Christmas shows in the past. This year, performing A Christmas Carol, and in the past Holiday Hideaway and The Snow Queen. Fun for the whole family!

6. Several churches with beautiful Christmas Eve and Christmas morning services.

Walnut Hill, St.Peters, and St.Joseph's to name a few!

So living in Danbury has been a true gift these 19 years, and as the holidays approach us this weekend, remember to be thankful for family and most importantly, your home!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
