hen the holidays arrive, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. You’re suddenly juggling gifts, parties, family gatherings and decorations on top of your normal life, all while trying to squeeze in as many holiday events and traditions as possible. Fear not — this month, we made it our goal to help you plan it all out (as much as anyone can). We have a guide to holiday events of every kind, a cheat-sheet for where to find the biggest Christmas light displays, and a round-up of the best places to both ice skate and sled. We also put together a guide to holiday parties, whether you’re having people over or attending one. You’ll learn where to get an impressive cheese spread, what wine to pick up for any occasion, and which cocktails help keep large groups sociable. Lastly, as you plan for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or whatever holiday you celebrate every year, New Year’s Eve is sure to sneak up on you. As such, we’ve put together a list of more than a dozen NYE celebrations around West Michigan. Just be sure to drive safe — or better yet, not drive at all!
