Looking to make this holiday season merry and bright? Enjoy the nostalgia of Christmases past with A Vintage Christmas – Christmas Lights Experience hosted by the Waterloo Central Railway. Let this train ride take you back in time while dazzling you with the glow of 15,000 spectacular lights!

 

Speaking of Christmases past, LEG Up! is offering a History of Christmas class. Register today to come and learn about and discuss the history of Christmas and various Christmas traditions. That will be sure to put you on Santa’s ‘Nice List’.

Nothing drums up quite so much excitement as some festive holiday music. A cannot miss performance of Yuletide Spectacular by the KW Symphony offers waltzes, polkas, choirs, dancers, and possibly even a visit from Santa Claus himself!
