"Though the weather outside is frightful..." is usually just a lyric and not something those of us on the #BestCoast of Florida should be dealing with this time of year. We live here for a reason, and one of those reasons is Fahrenheit should never start with a "4." But a slight nip in the air does seem to help many Tampanians get ready for the holiday season. And this week's Things To Do is here to help you get in the Christmas, Hannukah, or Kwanzaa or Bowl Game spirit with plenty of great events this weekend in Tampa Bay!
P.S. Don't take any gruff from your relatives up north: it's fine to wear gloves and a heavy jacket wherever you wish.
