Christmas

They've become holiday favorites, but their origins couldn't be more different.

Thousands enjoyed the Christmas Convoy in Belgrade over the weekend from the ground, but watching a Ben Goertzen production shot from Mark Taylor's helicopter is next level.

Celebrations, outdoor activities with families and holiday markets abound this weekend in Gallatin County.

New holiday films were filled with the irony and cynicism that were trademarks of the decade.

You can party or be productive this weekend with a vast array of things happening in the Bozeman area. (Virtual and in-person events available if you're staying home).

Good news: Christmas tree permit fees have been waived in 2020. Sorta bad news: You still need a permit and there are rules you have to follow to get yourself a tree from the Custer Gallatin National Forest.

Before you know it, Christmas will be here and as I've noticed, you probably have too, lights, trees, lawn decorations are already going up!  We all NEED a little holiday cheer.  Here is something you can participate in and help our community as well...

When you plan ahead, you can score the best deals and I've done some of the work for you. Downtown Bozeman will have 4 days and nights of deals for Ladies' Night(s) this year. In-store and online. Stay home or go out.

Usually, a couple of strings of white lights around whatever window has an outlet nearby and a few red balls on the Ficus will do. Not this year. I'm going big and I'm going early.

The Belgrade Festival of Lights is Saturday, December 14th. The all-day event begins at 8:00 am with a Kiwanis Breakfast.

No coal for Bozeman this Christmas. The skiing at Bridger Bowl was phenomenal.
