‘Do you hear what I hear?’ It’s that time of year again where ‘Frosty the Snowman’ has fled to escape the warm sub-tropical days, and the busy end of year calendar starts to show that ‘Silent Nights’ are becoming few and far between.

So, before it gets too hectic in the lead up to the holidays, we have compiled a list where ‘(o come) All ye Faithful’ can get into the Christmas spirit with some ‘Jingle Rock’ and other events.

‘All we want for Christmas’ is for you check out the local happenings across the region and join in bringing some ‘Joy to the World’…
