Most families stay at home during the winter, but this time you could go out with your family and explore new sights and events. There are many ways to enjoy this beloved holiday, and they are not too expensive either. A few of these events from Timeout.com may be helpful when it comes to choosing your way of celebrating this season’s holidays:

If you prefer a quieter and more personal ambiance for your family to enjoy, driving around looking at the brightly-decorated houses is always an option. The street, Candy Cane Lane, is in El Segundo and is constantly full with onlookers. Many houses are usually decorated as of late November, so there will be plenty to see and admire in December.

No matter what way you celebrate the holiday season, the important thing is to have a good time with your family and the people you love most.
