5 THINGS: FIVE CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS I WON'T GIVE UP

FIVE Christmasy THINGS to do in St. Louis:

1. Driving through  WAY OF LIGHTS, The Shrine in Belleville, Illinois. It's FREE.










2. Sliding down a run at HIDDEN VALLEY SKI, Wildwood, Missouri. It's...not free, but worth it, and you can tube if you are not a skier.

3. Saying hey to the animals at Wild Lights at the
ST. LOUIS ZOO, and making s'mores around
 a fire there while light gazing. $10/ticket









4. Falling down at STEINBERG SKATING RINK, Forest Park. $7/all day skate and rental














5. Attending a CHRISTMAS EVE service, followed by opening just ONE gift.
