We recently asked “What is your favorite activity to do with holiday visitors?” Here’s how WStoday readers responded:

  • 50% — Give them a tour of our holiday lights and festivities
  • 30% — Wine + dine them with our amazing food and bev scene
  • 20% — Take them to a local landmark or hotspot

Some readers also shared suggestions for entertaining holiday visitors. Driving them through Tanglewood Festival of Lights was the most popular idea. Here are some others:

Judy S. recommends “The Vintage Shop in Lewisville [Lewisville Vintage] for so many beautiful Christmas gifts.”

Dawkins H. takes guests to “Reynolda sites then to Village Tavern in the village.”

Romona W. says “I love the bar and beer scene we have to offer. My faves are Joyner’s or Footnote.”
