Holiday Activities In Dallas-Fort Worth

There may be snow, there may not be snow, but there’s one thing for sure; the Dallas/Fort Worth area is celebrating the holidays! You never know what the weather will be like on any given day, so if you’re heading to Texas, pack a coat just in case. Oh, and we don’t all wear cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. Nor do we all ride a horse!! But we do have fun.

    The monster truck jam sounds like so much fun! Here in Canada it can be hard to find ways to have fun and stay warm in winter. I am considering going to Disney On Ice even though I don’t have kids haha.
