Only two more days left until Christmas! Whether this statement fills you with hope and joy, or mounting angst at the thought of all you have left to do, one thing is true: Santa Claus is coming to town. (Ok, so “true” may not be the right word to use there, but you know what I mean). At this point in the holiday season you’re probably bursting with joy, bursting to get it over or just bursting to get the kids out of the house and have one blessed moment of piece. However you’re feeling, here are a few fun ideas to keep you busy. Be sure to check our calendar for a full list of all the fun Whatcom County happenings this weekend.
