For a special evening, take a self-guided Christmas light tour through River Oaks or The Heights. These neighborhoods are famous for their breathtaking holiday lights, offering a magical experience for all ages. As highlighted by my coworker Jyesha Johnson, these tours are a free and festive way to explore the city’s charm.
