I think it's million, but the squirrels and dinosaurs are a must see.

It's only million when you're sober.

Walk around Seaside with hot coco, the lights and Christmas Tree are very pretty. Destin Commons also has really pretty decorations. We also have boat parades, but I can not remember the dates. I'm sure someone will chime in with dates and times. Merry Christmas and bring your sweaters, it's cold!

Don't forget the polar bear plunge at WaterColor. That's on xmas day IIRC.

Paint pottery at Fired Up in Seaside! Lots of folks who visit here around Christmas have made Fired Up one of their family traditions...even this guy!
