Donations can be made through Wednesday, Dec. 15. Donors can purchase and package the items needed for meal boxes or make $50 donation to sponsor a holiday meal box

It’s been some time since I’ve been through Sugar Hill. Downtown Buford is among my favorite downtowns in that area. Wonder if they are doing anything special for the Holidays.

Default Holiday Tree Trail at Atlanta Botanical Garden, GAINESVILLE through Jan. 2

Holiday Tree Trail through January 2nd at Atlanta Botanical Garden, GAINESVILLE.

Get ready to ring in the yuletide season with the Holiday Tree Trail at the Gainesville Garden. During the third annual display, guests will delight in 6-foot Fraser Firs decorated by local businesses, families and organizations – all in themes of nature. The trees will be displayed November 30 through January 2 in locations nestled into the woodlands while close enough to pathways for easy viewing.

Previous entries have featured themes including edible bird seed ornaments, shelter animals available for adoption, local landmarks, famous women through history and children’s art.

I was at Mall of GA for Black Friday and it was surprisingly not super difficult to get through. I’m guessing online shopping is really offloading the holiday shopping demand in high commercialized districts.

Ugh. Login issues made me think my first post didn’t go through. I’m trying to delete the second one but it won’t let me.

There were reports that Black Friday shopping was lighter than expected throughout much of the country.

They think that consumers heeded warnings about the ongoing international supply chain issues possibly making it very difficult and/or impossible to find items if they waited too late into the Christmas shopping season by ordering and purchasing items online well in advance... like in October or September in many cases.
