This is that last weekend before Christmas when many media outlets are telling us stories of how anxiety can possibly take over our holidays or that unusual story that moves us into the holiday spirit. Here at the planning guide we like the later.
This is the weekend to see Discovery Green's ice skating rink or take a drive down to Galveston and see those spectacular ice carvings at Moody Gardens. Happy Holidays everybody enjoy your weekend JWM

Playboi Carti started rapping initially under the name Sir Cartier. Much of that early work has been deleted from the Internet. He adopted the name Playboi Carti in 2012 and signed to rapper Father’s underground label Awful Records. Playboi Carti began making traction with his rhymes in 2015 with his singles "Broke Boi" and "Fetti" featuring Da$h and Maxo Kream, both of which were published to Soundcloud.

This annual holiday traditional tour moves TSO into Houston's Toyota Center with two performances. The orchestra has been doing this for 20-years now.
TSO is excited to celebrate 20 years on the road this winter with an all-new production of ‘The Ghosts of Christmas Eve’ featuring the Best of TSO and more!!
It all started with an idea:
