You’ll get sick of Christmas. So much to do and it’s all basically the same stuff. This is why we love the Festival of Trees. It does it all and better than anybody else. There’s the massive gift shop, all sorts of Christmas stuff (namely, 70 trees, all decorated to convey the spirit of giving — not getting), and music and entertainment for each and every member of your particular clan.  There are a couple fancy schmancy invite only events you weren’t invited to, so I won’t make you cry. It also benefits Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in a very large way — it’s the perfect hallmark of the holidays in so many ways. Expend all of your Christmas energy in one place and then go home and never leave your house again until New Year’s.
