November and December are wonderful months to visit scenic Whidbey Island. The summer crowds are gone and you might even have a beach all to yourselves. The charming towns of Freeland, Coupeville and Langley get all dressed up in holiday decor. It is such fun to wander through these towns. In Freeland, Christina's Island Real Estate & Fine Art is hosting a Holiday Open House & "Meet-the-Artists" Party Friday November 23rd 5-8pm. Pam Mitchell of Color Me Warm will be demonstrating a knitting technique anyone can learn. Debra Aaron, founder of The Blessing Project, will be creating custom gifts for Gallery visitors.

Cultural events abound this time of year: Nutcracker performances at Whidbey Island Dance Theatre Dec 7th - 16th; Orchestra, Choral & Acoustic Concerts throughout the holidays; Live music at two wine tasting rooms in Langley, Ott & Murphy and Useless Bay Wines; and, Scrooge, the Musical is being performed at Whidbey Island Center for the Arts. These are just a few of the cultural offerings during the holiday season.

Come to Whidbey for a magical holiday experience....
