Weekend Holiday Happenings: Straight No Chaser, Holiday Spectacular, Candlelight House Tours

If you are still most of your Christmas shopping  to do next weekend, you'll be in panic mode, so chances are... you plan to hit the stores this weekend to get a jump on things. (If you're one of those people who finished your Christmas shopping in November, I have nothing to say to you because that's just not natural!)

Let me recommend that you leave a little time to enjoy some of the many festive holiday activities planned this weekend in South Jersey, or maybe to see the Straight No Chaser concert or some of the live music on tap.

Here is rundown of some of this weekend's highlights.  Enjoy!
