Around Edmond: Citizen’s Bank Curbside Santa a huge hit! Shopedmond with 15 days to go! Christmas Light Guide!

Hi everyone! We’re all trying to figure out what the holidays look like this year – whether that’s keeping old traditions going, finding new ways to celebrate or taking time to reflect and reset.

For me, it is delivering comfort and joy the best way I know how: with a mostly optimistic spirit, lots of staycation vibes and, most importantly, spending quality time (whether in person or on screen) with friends, family, and a couple of very good puppies.

My hope for all of you, and as we appear to be heading for a vaccination for Covid, is that you are able to find something this holiday that gives you the warm and fuzzies.

2020 Christmas Light Guide

It’s that time of year to bring you a list of all of the festivities happening in neighborhoods around Edmond! After driving around the metro for the last 8 days from 5 to 11 pm, here is the list of this years neighborhoods around the metro that are lit:

Well, that is it for today! I am just finishing up the new issue, and want to leave you with a thought.

Instead of letting politics sour our community, instead try to understand each others differences. We are more alike than different, and I know deep down we all want each other to succeed and prosper.

Here is one last home in Edmond that was unique, in Steeplechase, just off Coltrane. First home in Edmond to go all vertical!

Have a wonderful week and be nice to each other. Happy 1st night of Hanukkah to all of our readers who celebrate!
