With this balmy weather, it can be hard to believe that it’s November and the holidays are nearly upon us! There are some fun holiday events happening this month, especially right before and Thanksgiving. What’s your favorite holiday tradition? If you’re wondering how I define “cheap” when looking for things in this guide, I typically look for events that will either cost the entire family less than $20.00 or no more than $5.00 per person (with some exceptions–some things are a great value and a worthwhile special event). The majority of this guide is date specific, so grab your calendar and plan your month! Also if you loved this list, share it with a friend! Send it to their Facebook or email them!
