Happy Holidays!

Philadelphia offers so many fun ways to celebrate the holidays!
Here are some ideas to try out with your family and loved ones

*Looking for some center city action?
Visit the Christmas Village in the heart of the city- Love Park
More than 80 booths full of shopping, food and drinks.

While in the city, head down to Penn's Landing for outdoor ice skating or Reading Terminal for some delicious food and treats
BONUS! Free metered parking every Saturday in December

* Want to get out of the city?
Longwood Gardens is a great destination all year round, but during the holidays it is extra special. From November 24-January 8th is their Christmas exhibits.

Peddler's Village is such a charming little town in Bucks county offering dining and shopping. For the holidays they host a Gingerbread Competition. There are several categories and each creation is displayed in their Gazebo.
Enjoy free admission and parking!

* One of my all time favorite holiday traditions is driving around various neighborhoods and checking out all the lights and decorations. It's free, fun and you can enjoy the warmth in your car!
