It seems like this next week everyone in Middle Georgia is either spending every day with extended family in town or heading out of town. You might be too busy going to Christmas parties or having a quiet dinner with your grandparents to need something to do, but in case you don't have plans this week, or if you need a way to entertain those out-of-town guests, here's your weekly dose of things to do in Middle Georgia.
Tuesday night at 7 pm you can grab a blanket, put on your warmest PJs, and head to downtown Macon for an outdoor viewing of the film Polar Express at the historic Terminal Station. Whether you have kids or not, most people can appreciate this heart-warming Christmas story. Best of all, it's free!
If movies about Santa Claus aren't your thing, you might head to the Cold Chillin' Christmas Party at Caulfield's Vintage Clothing store Thursday night at 9 pm. There will be food, drinks, music, and dancing. There's a $2 cover charge, unless you bring a canned good to feed the hungry! If you're new to town, this is a good place to meet new people.
For something entirely different, head to Mercer University for a basketball game--Mercer is playing against the University of Georgia Thursday night at 7 pm. Tickets are $16. If you can't go Thursday night, check the schedule for games later on, but the Georgia game will definitely be the most exciting game this season.
A good place to entertain out-of-town guests (especially the female ones) is Hay House. This antebellum mansion is called the "Palace of the South," and it's all decked out for the holidays. Guided tours are included with admission and explain both the history of the building itself and the stories of the families who lived there. If you're a real history buff (or know one), splurge for the "Behind-the-Scenes" tour.
Merry Christmas!
