Richland's Winter Wonderland Celebration Kicks Off December 5th

This is my favorite time of the year. The holidays are the best! As we head into Thanksgiving week, Christmas isn't far behind. I have an early morning commute into work, so I am seeing Christmas decorations and lights go up on homes and businesses. I absolutely LOVE it.

I live in the city of Richland, and this town does it right. Tonight, as I was perusing various social media platforms, I see that Richland is hosting their annual Winter Wonderland - Kick-Off SOON!
