Amarillo Zoo's 'Twas the Week Before Christmas

The countdown to Christmas is on in Amarillo. Whether you have a fun decoration that helps count down the days or an Advent calendar that gives you a surprise. You pretty much know how many days are left at any given moment.

You may be excited about the kids getting out of school, and perhaps because you will have a lot of time off with them, too. The ultimate goal is to have enough vacation time saved up so that you can take a chunk of time off with the kids at Christmas. That makes this time of year even more magical.

Making the Most of Christmas Fun with Kids

While you are off for the holidays, there is a lot to do at the house with last-minute shopping and wrapping. You also want to find fun activities to do with the kids. You want to make sure they have fun memories from their time off before everyone heads back to school and work.
