40 Days Of Christmas Events In Grapevine

GRAPEVINE (CBSDFW.COM) - The turkey is not even in the oven quite yet, but one North Texas city is already beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Grapevine has been named The Christmas Capital of Texas by the State Senate, and the city is celebrating that honor once again with a series of 1,400 events over 40 days.

The festivities began on Friday and continue throughout the holiday season. Among the many things that families can find in Grapevine are a Christmas tree maze, snow machines to create that White Christmas environment, and a special North Pole Express train that will take children directly to Santa Claus.

"Grapevine is a great place just to create Christmas memories, to bring your family and just have fun," said city spokesman Barry Lewis. "It's more than just a day, it's a whole season here in Grapevine."
