Hot dates, cool nights
Duing the Christmas-Kwanzaa-Hanukkah-Solstice-Festivus season, you can find a good number of great dates that aren't available during the rest of the year.
Today, I want to hear some of your greatest hits and share a few of mine.
One great thing about Greensboro is the neighborhoods that hang tree balls over the yards and streets. You can bundle up with a sweater and a warm beverage and walk around under the lights after sunset. Very nice.
Going to Tanglewood's Festival of Lights on an off night (Monday-Thursday) is a good one.
A day trip to the mountains in your car or on PART, where you can get a little closer to cooler air and maybe even snow is great on a Saturday. Going to a cut-your-own tree farm is an old family trip that also works well as a date, especially if you combine it with a lunch at any of the good restaurants in Blowing Rock or Boone.
And there's the theater, the Nutcracker is playing somewhere all the time, and there are endless movies to rent and watch with your honey.
What are some of your better holiday dates? Do you go out into the crowds or hunker down at home?

I once took a day trip date to the mountains when I knew a huge blizzard was blowing in. We were trapped in a motel room for 3 of the hottest nights in the history of the world.
