Christmassy Things To Do in Greenville

Christmas is practically here.

The holiday season has been in full swing since Halloween went on clearance and stores stocked their shelves with Christmas stuff. Am I wrong? No, because every time I look on social media, someone has put up another tree or is sipping on their 15th cup of hot chocolate by the fireplace.

I usually jump on the jolly wagon the week after Thanksgiving, but this year I came down with a cold, so I’m actually just now catching up! I know, the HORROR!

Luckily, a lot of Christmas related events do not start happening until December 1st. So if you’re looking for things to do in Greenville, we’re both just in time!
