Is Your House Ready for Santa?
November 17th, 2020 |
The inaugural Christmas in the Quarter is full of Christmas cheer and excitement each weekend from now through December 27. Activities for the whole family include fire pits and warming stations, make and take Christmas crafts, live local music, art and Putz displays, an outdoor movie screen, and decorations galore!
You can add on to your Christmas in the Quarter experience with one of our great holiday-themed workshops to prepare your house for Santa with workshops on gifting and wrapping, ice carving, and holiday drinks.
Gift Wrapping with Marche Maison
Do your gift-wrapping skills leave something (or a lot) to be desired? On Saturday, November 21 you can join Michelle Olson of Marche Maison, gift-wrapper extraordinaire, as she talks through the “theme approach” to gift wrapping. She will present wrapping themes including Woodlands Farmhouse, Vintage Antique, and Class Christmas. You will even get to take home your choice of a complimentary themed “all in one gift wrapping set” to practice what you learned on gifts for your own loved ones. The workshop promises to provide tricks to bring a new level of savvy sophistication to your gift-wrapping game no matter your skill level. Workshop is at 3 pm inside the Luckenbach Mill. $25 participation fee includes admission to Christmas in the Quarter and all supplies and materials. Tickets can be purchased on our website.
