Get ready for six-ish weeks of non-stop holiday excitement! In our annual Holiday Guide, we round up holiday fun happening from Thanksgiving Eve to New Year’s Day. From screenings of Elf to Holiday Pops, community tree lightings to productions of The Nutcracker, check out our extensive guide to holiday events for all.
Also on the cover Speaking of seasonal fun, Michael Witthaus talks to Gerald Dickens, the great-great-grandson of Charles Dickens, whose one-man A Christmas Carol has been a local tradition. This year marks his final U.S. tour (see page 33). Another annual tradition? Model Airplane’s Funksgiving show (see page 46), part of a weekend packed with musical performances. And John Fladd gets the information on Christmas With the Cows in Canterbury (page 38).
