Thanksgiving is all about spending time with family. However, after one full day of family,
you’ll likely be going stir-crazy!
We used to be able to avoid the issue by shopping all weekend but now that
we do that in our pajamas at the computer, we may need some other outlet for
our “family fun”. So, I’ve
compiled a list below of family-friendly activities for this long weekend.

Cincideutsch
Christkindlmarkt
Cincinnati Fountain Square
11am-10pm
Yes that is spelled correctly.
On November 23, 24, and 25, Cincideutsch will present the
first-ever, authentic German Christmas market on Fountain Square: the
Cincideutsch Christkindlmarkt. Christmas markets originated in Germany and
Austria, and are now held all over the world, typically in the town square.
Cincideutsch hopes to provide Cincinnati and its surrounding area with a
traditional German experience, including authentic market booths filled with
vendors selling sweets, mulled wine (Glühwein) and other warm drinks, beer, and
seasonal decorations for the holidays.
Bellevue Annual Christmas Walk

12:00 PM - 12:00 AM
Don't settle for unimaginative gifts and the long lines of a
big box store. Come to Bellevue for our annual Christmas Walk, and enjoy a day
of easy shopping throughout the Historic Shopping District. We have dozens of
unique shops to browse, and many will be offering some of their best deals of
the year.

encouraged to bring their letters to be mailed to Mr. Claus himself.

Every weekend from now until Christmas, Santa will lace up
