With Thanksgiving behind us, it’s time to start getting your family in the holiday spirit. There are plenty of ways to get even the Scrooges in your family in the spirit, whether that’s watching a classic holiday movie, baking some cookies, or wrapping a few gifts. Sometimes, however, your family needs a good tree lighting, parade, or visit from Santa to make them go from “bah humbug” to “tis the season!” These upcoming metro Detroit holiday events are sure to bring everyone the joy they need to get in the spirit!
