As we all continue to hope for a safe and memorable holiday, the local businesses throughout El Paso, Texas, are finalizing their plans for what is always a spectacular time of the year. 
 
For this month’s blog, we have reviewed a variety of on-line resources to find you some fun things to do with family and friends that may be visiting you at your apartment home at Cantara in El Paso.
 
November 24 / Trans Siberian Orchestra
 
This brand-new show has to be seen to be believed. The story is about a runaway girl who takes refuge in an abandoned theater on Christmas Eve, and meets the Ghosts of Christmas, and learning her own worth in the meantime. This was in fact the band's first made-for-television film back in 1999, and now they are bringing it on tour around the country as a live concert, for the very first time! Get tickets now before they sell out by clicking here.

November 26 / UTEP v/s North Texas
 
What would Thanksgiving be without football?  Time to push away from the table and head out to the UTEP campus to cheer on the Miners as they welcome North Texas for a holiday match-up.  Get your tickets now by clicking here.
 
December 3 / Tis the Season for Opera
 
For a change of pace this holiday season, head on over to the Plaza Theater for an operatic presentation of your favorite holiday music, and then some.  For tickets and more information, please click to the Theater’s website right here.
 
December 7 / Elf: The Musical
 
This is must-do for kids of all ages as the classic musical “ELF” is presented on stage at the Plaza Theater.   “ELF” is the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. Buddy is raised unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. Here’s your link for complete information.

December 10 / Handel’s Messiah ~ A Gift of Christmas
 
Speaking of traditions, this one has to be on anyone’s list who is seeking the perfect special night out to get into the spirit of the holidays.  Don’t miss this incredible night when the El Paso Choral Society performs what has to be a true Christmas classic at the Abraham Chavez Theatre.  To learn more, click here.
 
In closing, we do hope you all find the time for some very special quality time this Thanksgiving, and throughout the holidays to come.
