I hate to break it to you but the holidays are upon us. Thanksgiving is just two weeks away and Christmas music and decorations can be seen and heard around town. For you purists who like your holidays one at time, I hear you. But this year—for some unknown reason—I’m ready for it and will embrace all the early holiday shenanigans.
In the meantime, get out there and enjoy Detroit.
